Second grade students and teachers recently enjoyed an author visit! Mrs. Barbara Kay is a retired history teacher and she is from Columbia, Illinois. She now, when not traveling with her husband, portrays different people in history. For our 2nd graders she portrayed Betsey Ross, the maker of our first American flag. She dresses in period attire (1700"s) and gives the story of this woman's life and her place in history for a nominal fee. DAR of Christian County was happy to donate the funds so our second grade classes could benefit from this history lesson.
Pictured are Quinn Hancock and Mason Ushman with Barbara Kay.
TCUSD3 was well represented this evening at the Central Illinois STEM Fair in Rochester. Thank you to Mrs. Reindl, Mrs. Specha, Mr. Hohenstein and the TommyTV crew, and Mrs. Mateer and the Tommy Photo crew for sharing their expertise!

In January, the Tech Team released a new program titled Twisted Training. TCUSD3 staff members can earn badges for completing a variety of training programs and learn new skills at their own pace. For example, staff can earn a Chromebook Fundamentals badge for completing a training on the basics of using a Chromebook. This morning the Tech Team recognized the Badge Masters for the 3rd quarter with a Crumbl Cookie. These individuals earned the most badges in their respective buildings. Congratulations to Dawn Reiser, Emily Repscher, Jennifer Richardson, and Melissa Davidson!
North School is beginning the pre-registration process for incoming Kindergarten students for the 2024-25 school year. A child’s birth date determines whether or not they will attend kindergarten in the fall.
If the child turns 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2024, they are allowed to register for kindergarten for the next school year. There are times a parent chooses to keep their child in preschool.
Per ISBE, if a child turns 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2024, the district is not permitted to enroll them in the public preschool program (PREP). Therefore, the student would either attend a private preschool or register for kindergarten.
All incoming kindergarten students must have a physical, proof of vaccinations, a dental exam and a vision exam prior to entering kindergarten. It would be helpful to schedule those appointments as soon as possible, as the clinics get overwhelmed in the summer. The district also needs a certified copy of each student’s birth certificate and two proofs of residency. If possible, return those with your pre-registration information. If a child attends a Taylorville preschool, packets will be delivered to the preschool. If the child does not currently attend a Taylorville preschool, stop by North School Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-3:30 pm.
Registration materials can be turned in at the family event at North School on Tuesday, Mar. 19 at 6:00 p.m. Jim Gill will be entertaining with his “read along-sing along” activities. Doors open at 5:50. Bring a blanket for the family to sit and enjoy the concert.
Anyone with questions can email kkuntzman@tcusd3.org or call the school office at 217-824-3315.
