SCHOOL RE-OPENING - Iroquois Jr./Sr. High School will open for live face-to-face instruction on Wednesday, February 24, 2021. All students will return to their normal class schedules.

SCHOOL CLOSURE - Due to a lack of staffing, Iroquois Jr./Sr. High School will remained closed through February 23, 2021. We will be resuming live in-person instruction on Wednesday, February 24, 2021. We will keep you updated if any changes occur.

ROTC & ECTS - Students attending ROTC and ECTS will still be required to attend these programs during the next three days of school closure (2/16-2/18/20). The district will still be providing transportation for these students. ROTC & ECTS students will not be permitted into the school during this closure so they will have to Zoom from an alternative location to be considered in attendance for their IHS classes.

VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION CORRECTION - Virtual instruction will occur 2/16-2/18/21. We will keep you updated if these dates change. Students are mandated to log on through Zoom & Schoology.

VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION - During the school closure 2/16-2/28/21, we will still be providing instruction using Zoom & Schoology. It is mandatory that students log in to their classes for this instruction. We will be using our virtual instruction schedule for these three days.

It is regretful that I am informing you that we will be closing I.H.S. to students over the next three days (2/16-2/18/21). We are hopeful that we can reopen to students on Friday but that is unknown at the moment. We will be sending updates as we receive information. This closure is due to COVID 19 and a lack of professional staffing. Currently there are no student cases being reported within the school or connected in any way to the staff members who are quarantined. After school sports scheduled for this week will still occur with the exception of tonight's (2/15/21) boys basketball game which also is in no way related to our closure. Please remember to social distance and wear masks. Thank you all for your efforts so far this school year keeping I.H.S. live to instruction.
