We are proud of our community and C-WC #5 family for being able to provide in-person education for almost a full semester. With COVID-19 surging, we would like to remind families that we will continue to educate our students face-to-face as long as we can, but we can only do so with the help of our families. Please keep students at home until they are 48 hours symptom free without medication. If anyone living in your home is tested for COVID, please quarantine all members of the home until the results come back. Have the doctor’s office fax the school a copy of the results. The district website (www.carmischools.org) is updated when there is a positive COVID case in the district. This information can be accessed by clicking on the Coronavirus tab. Thank you for your assistance in educating our students. #bulldogpride

Parents/guardians registering in person must comply with all IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) requirements including a COVID symptom self-certification at the door, face masks worn in the building, proper social distancing, and no more than 50 people in one space.

Students can be enrolled via a registration link on our district's website, app, and Facebook pages. We encourage parents/guardians to register online, including payment. All classroom fees, lock & agenda fees, and Chromebook insurance fees have been combined to one nominal fee. For most buildings, this has resulted in a reduced registration fee for families.
