We are celebrating National Banana Split Day in the Cafeteria
Lunch in the Appleknocker Cafe 🍽️
Attendance protocol concerning Covid positive students:
Covid positive students will need to stay home for 5 days. These days count towards the number of allowed absences for the year unless a doctor sends an excuse stating that the student tested positive. Pictures and physical home tests will not be accepted to excuse absences against exams or towards the number of allowed absences in the year. They must have a return date on the note from the doctor to be able to attend school or extracurricular activities.

The Appleknocker Café Team attended annual ISBE training this week in Springfield. We learned tons of new ideas that we are excited to bring back to Cobden and implement for our staff & students. Once again, our personalized t-shirts were conversation starters, people took notice and were asking “where are you from? What’s an Appleknocker?” thanks to @personalizedbyjamie for helping us show off our Appleknocker Pride!
