Moving?

Is Your Family Moving this Summer?

If so, please note the following:

For elementary school families moving within the district: The Ball-Chatham School District is kindly requesting that parents who are moving to a home in a Ball-Chatham elementary school boundary other than the one they currently reside, please email Asst. Supt. Jill Larson at jlarson@chathamschools.org or call her at the District Office (217) 483-2416 as soon as possible with your new address. Doing so will greatly help the District hire the required number of teachers in the appropriate time period for each grade level.

For all families moving out of the Ball-Chatham School District to another school district: Please be aware that transfer requests by your new school district must be made as soon as possible, as our schools will be closed from June 12 to July 28, and requests will not be processed during that time.

P.B.I.S Parent Cool Tool
“Oh, no!” I can tell when my child gets off the bus, something has happened. As the story unfolds, someone said something that wasn't nice and their feelings are hurt.
Our children worry about not having friends, not being a good friend, what their friends think of them, and how to keep friends. As parents, we forget that even at this young age, our children are coping with the challenges of friendship. We set the example for our children as they observe how we handle family and friend relationships. Respect, empathy, sympathy and conflict resolution are skills necessary to make and retain friends.
At our house, we stop our children and ask: Was there a nicer way to say something; Can you think of another way to solve the problem; and most importantly, How would you feel if that happened to you? We hope this broadens their thought process making it easier to deal with family and friends. These are the same skills that teachers and counselors use in the school. Reinforcement of these skills at home and school will help our children be the best friends they can be.
