*WIGs Wednesday* Meet Locklyn Thacker from Riddle Elementary. Locklyn is a fifth-grader in Mrs. Oberhill's class. Her personal WIG (Wildly Important Goal) is reading numbers with decimals. Locklyn says that decimals were very confusing at first. She told herself, 'You CAN do this," and she decided to practice place value with her dad as part of her action plan to achieve her goal. Locklyn worked at school and home while tracking her progress on DreamBox. After achieving her WIG, she says that the feeling of success is worth all of the hard work. When Locklyn isn't crushing her goals, she enjoys reading mysteries, playing with Barbies, and doing front flips on her trampoline. Mrs. Oberhill says, "Locklyn has done a great job demonstrating growth in Habit 3 (Beginning with the End in Mind.) As an almost sixth-grader, she prioritizes before allowing herself to get distracted by less important tasks." Way to go, Locklyn! #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #RiddleElementary

Mr. Wheeler's third graders at Riddle Elementary celebrated the end of their fractions unit before spring break by eating 1/8 of a pizza each! Ok, we admit it, some students had two eighths! ;) What better way to learn than with pizza though? #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #RiddleElementary

Mattoon CUSD #2 bus drivers will be taking part in a mock bus crash training exercise with the Mattoon Fire Department at First Class Wrecker Service in Mattoon. Training is scheduled for April 13, 14, and 15 at 9 AM. The Fire Department will take two of our oldest buses, flip them on their side, and train drivers as if they are on an actual accident scene. They will make entry into the buses using extraction tools. Transportation Director Chris Parr believes it will be very beneficial for the District staff and all our First Responders. “It is a great time to observe, ask questions that come up, and see what they will do when they arrive on the scene, which will help us see what we need to do on our end. Knowing what to expect from all first responders and having those conversations beforehand is huge for all departments involved. Nobody ever wants something like this to happen, but I am excited we get this opportunity to prepare ourselves if it ever does.” We would like to extend our gratitude to our First Responders for their willingness to be proactive and prepared in their service to our students and community. #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #Transportation

Online Registration for the 2022-2023 school year will be available on April, 19 through the Skyward Family Portal. #MCUSD2 #Mattoon
