Our morning and afternoon preschool classes were selling apple slices to complete their two week apple unit! They all did a great job!
We would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the Weidner family and everyone at Teutopolis Schools on the loss of Elizabeth. She was a remarkable young lady that touched the lives of many. Our deepest condolences.

Due to the shortage of bus drivers and the need to sometimes have to bus the town students home early so that the out of town routes can be taken at regular times, we are offering the families of those students affected by this inconvenience the ability to attend the after school program at no cost to them on those days. This will apply anytime the school is forced to transport early (due to lack of drivers) and should only affect the students who live in Dieterich and ride Rod Grunloh's bus. We exhaust all other possibilities before making these decisions and truly apologize for the inconvenience. If you know your child will have dismissal plans out of the normal routine please let Sharon know in a timely manner to avoid last minute confusion.

Dear Parents:
Unfortunately we will be short on bus drivers Thursday October 7th and will have to adjust our dismissal for our town students who ride Rod Grunloh's bus #9. The students riding this bus will be released early and the bus will leave school at 3:00p.m. on Thursday October 7th so that students can be taken home and the driver can return to drive an out of town route at the regular dismissal time. While this is only 15 minutes early, we realize that this may be hard for some parents to cover. If you are not able to make arrangements to be there for your student at this time please call Sharon at 217-925-5248 to make other arrangements, like the after school program. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dear Staff, Students, Parents and Guardians of Dieterich Schools,
I am writing this letter to introduce a temporary addition to our Unit Office staff. Mr. Jeff Fritchnitch will be working as a consultant to the school on special projects as well as covering administrative leave days in the next couple months. Mr. Fritchnitch will be in-district at least a couple days of the week for the near future.
Mr. Fritchnitch is a retired superintendent that has led the Altamont School District, and most recently, the Mt. Vernon High School District. He currently works with the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce and Synapsis Inc., an educational technology company.
Please join us in welcoming Mr. Fritchnitch to Dieterich Schools.
Sincerely,
Mr. Cary Jackson, Superintendent
Dieterich High School teamed up with The Greenup American Legion from 2011- 2019 to provide the Veterans at the Danville VA supplies. We were unable to do a collection in 2020 due to COVID. The hospital has reached out to us asking for help, they are in need of supplies. They included a list of things they could use. If you are able to donate items or cash to purchase the items please send it to or drop it off in the High School office by October 1st. Thank you so much for supporting our United States Veterans!
Requested items include:
more toiletries for the ALA room,
snacks such as breakfast bars, granola bars, individual bags of crackers or fresh fruit such as grapes, apples or bananas.
We are also in need of bags of toiletries to hand out when a Veteran is admitted to our PRRTP program. A cinch sack with 3 in 1, (or a bodywash and shampoo), lotion, chapstick, a brush, razor, shaving cream (cannot be aerosol) , toothbrush, toothpaste and deodorant. We provide a starter kit for the PRRTP Veterans and then they are responsible for budgeting for their own toiletries going forward.
Approximately 10 backpacks for PRRTP Veterans, this is something many of the PRRTP Veterans utilize as they have classes throughout the days in various areas of the facility and many of them request backpacks to carry their books, notebooks, pens and supplies.
On Friday September 17th, Howell Asphalt will be completing the construction project in front of school.
To help with traffic, we will begin parent pick up at 3:00 pm on Friday. Jr/Sr high school students who are parent pick up will be released at this time also.
We will follow the same procedures for parent pick up that we have used this year.
Thank you for your patience during this project!
Mrs. Zerrusen and our 3rd grade students looked for different artistic inspirations outside today!
A quick reminder that tomorrow, September 13, is fall picture day for Unit #30 students and staff!
