Garrison Public Schools – Important Update We want to inform our families and community that Garrison High School was placed into a precautionary lockdown earlier today due to a potential safety concern. In cooperation with the McLean County Sheriff’s Department, the situation was promptly addressed and has been resolved. At this time, we are not aware of any threats made toward students or staff. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We appreciate the swift response of law enforcement and the cooperation of our students and staff throughout the situation. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Good Morning Parents! As the weather continues to get colder, I want to make sure we are being proactive in ensuring all our students have the appropriate clothing to enjoy recess and stay comfortable throughout the school day. This includes coats, hats, gloves, and eventually snow pants and boots as temperatures continue to drop and the snow flies. Before you send your kids to school, please ensure they have the appropriate clothing each day as cooler, wintery weather approaches. Thank you! ~Mrs. Fuller

Attentions Parents and Guardians: On February 3, 2027, our school district will have their Cognia Review Accreditation Visit. This visit is required by every district in the state every 5 years. As part of this review, we are collecting data on Student Learning. Will you please take 3-5 minutes and complete this 20 question survey along with demographics. If you have students in both buildings, please fill out the survey based on the experience that will be most helpful and provide the best feedback. If you have multiple students with differing experiences, please fill out the survey and focus on areas that will provide the most growth. Again, this survey is meant to provide the best way to support ALL students.

Bob Callies Elementary School recognized October 2026 Students of the Month today during our Halloween assembly! Luka Reynolds: I would like to nominate Luka for SOM because he consistently demonstrates what it means to be respectful, responsible, and a hardworking learner. He comes to school ready to learn each day, listens carefully, follows directions, and always tries his best. He is kind and helpful to both his classmates and his teachers and sets a great example through his respectful behavior. He is not always the loudest person in the room, but he is positive and puts forth a strong effort in the classroom. Bryn Nordquist: I would like to nominate Bryn for Student of the Month because she has been such a wonderful addition to our classroom! Even though she is new, she has already made a positive impression with her attitude and effort. She comes to class with a positive outlook and understands that each day is a new opportunity to learn something new and grow. She takes pride in her work and truly wants to do her best. I appreciate the way she approaches learning with a willingness to try, improve, and make the most of every opportunity. Her positive attitude and determination are wonderful qualities, and I am excited to see her continue to grow and succeed. Bryn is very deserving of this recognition! Congratulations to both Luka and Bryn!

Tomorrow, GHS students will be allowed to dress up for Halloween. Here are items not allowed: 1. No blood or Gore 2. No Props 3. No Inflatables 4.

We hope it can be a fun and exciting day for our students. Thank you

Pictures retakes are at the high school tomorrow. Also, if you've not taken your picture for grades 7-12 you will need to get one completed. Please don't wear green because it interferes with the green screen.
