VOLUNTEER & EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES - With the start of the school year approaching, the Carmi-White County Unit #5 School District is looking for individuals who would be interested and willing to help at each school building starting August 20th. The District is looking for individuals willing to volunteer with temperature checks on school buses and buildings as well as those interested in temporary substitute nurse aides who would be interested in working 3-5 hours daily to help with temperature checks and tracing. Anyone interested in either of these opportunities should contact building administrators as soon as possible.

Our NEW online registration opens TODAY! Please view the online registration directions prior to registering on our district website. 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. Since registration for the 2020-2021 school year will be solely online, staff will be available to assist with online registration and payment via cash or check, on Thursday, August 6th in each building from 9am to 7pm. While registering your student in person, masks or face coverings will be required, and social distancing guidelines will be followed. In addition to online registration, please remember to fill out the Return-to-School Survey to let us know if your child(ren) will be attending in-person, remotely, or have chosen another option if you have not done so already. As soon as these surveys have been completed, we will be able to assign classroom teachers & schedules.

NEW! OPENS TODAY! ONLINE KINDERGARTEN PRE-REGISTRATION Lincoln Attendance Center will conduct online pre-registration for students who will be attending Kindergarten in the 2020 – 2021 school year. Children who are five years of age on or before September 1, 2020 are eligible to start school in August. The pre-registration portal will be open TODAY and will close Friday, May 29th. Please go to the CWC district website and click on the link to begin the pre-registration process. If you have any questions with this process, please contact Lincoln School at 384-3421 from 8am to 11am. Information obtained at this early registration provides us with a tentative number of kindergarten students. The data helps us purchase supplies, finalize staffing plans, and prepare bus routes for next year. Because of the current shelter-in-place order, we will not be able to conduct speech screening or the readiness assessment with each potential kindergartner in person, so we are hopeful that each parent will conduct the screening at home with their student and input the results. This is the beginning of the registration process. District-wide registration will be August 6th from 9:00am to 7:00pm in order to finalize registration, update records, and find out who your child’s teacher will be for the school year. We would appreciate you telling friends and family about this online registration if you know of a child who will be five years old by September 1, 2020.
