🚨Attention Riddle Elementary Families 🚨
Just a reminder, beginning Monday, May 6th, we will begin a new process for drop-off and pick-up at Riddle Elementary School. This new layout is designed to keep the flow of traffic moving while maintaining a safe environment for our students, staff, and families.
🚙 All parent/guardian drop-off and pick-ups will remain in the west parking lot.
🚌 Please leave the north parking lot for school bus traffic.
Please check your email for a map and follow the new route beginning Monday, May 6th. The gate will be opened for the back playground to extend traffic on campus in an attempt to provide greater safety on 43rd street. These gates will open at 2:45 p.m. Drop-off times will remain the same. We will have staff outside to help direct traffic with these updates.
As always, please drive safe and avoid cell phone usage while in the school zone. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!

Riddle Art Students have been working throughout this school year painting the 2023-24 Cafeteria Mural. The mural is approximately 14 feet long and the theme is patriotic. Every school year, Riddle hosts a Veterans Day celebration inviting local veterans to our school to thank them for their service. At the Veterans day celebration, the honored guests gather in the school cafeteria before the parade. This mural will be a constant reminder of the sacrifices our Veterans have endured to secure our freedom. The students did a great job creating this! 🎨🇺🇸
IAR testing for Williams, Riddle and Mattoon Middle School will take place April 8-12. Best of luck to our students as they prepare! 🌟📚

We are excited to announce that students throughout the district will have the opportunity to view the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse at their schools. 🌑🌞
Mattoon will experience a partial eclipse of 99.37% beginning at approximately 12:46 p.m. with the time of maximum coverage at approximately 2:04 p.m. 🕑
To help students better understand the science behind a solar eclipse, many teachers will incorporate this into their teaching this week prior to the eclipse. 👩🏫
We will be reviewing expectations and safety precautions with students to ensure a fun and memorable experience. Students and staff will be supplied with the ISO 12312-2 International Standard eclipse safe glasses that they will be required to wear during the viewing. 😎
School specific information regarding the event timeline has been emailed to families. Please communicate with your child’s teacher if you wish for your student to opt out of this event. Due to their age, students at Franklin Preschool will not be participating in the viewing, but will instead be participating in mini lessons and activities surrounding the eclipse. ✉️
