Dear Arcola Jr./Sr. High students, parents and community members,
As many of you already know our principal Lisa Sigrist has recently been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer called Neuroendocrine cancer. Unfortunately, the cancer has also spread to her liver and lungs. After several weeks and many appointments, she will be starting very aggressive chemo treatments.
Mrs. Sigrist is in overall good health and continues to stay positive. She is a fighter and with the support and prayers of our community we are confident that she will overcome this. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Here are two options to show your support

Today would have been our first football game of the season. Things are a little different this year for our players, coaches, and fans. Tony isn't lining the field, the money boxes aren't ready, and the press box is closed. For the first time in 27 years, Coach Lindsey isn't packing his Friday night football bag. We are very proud of our players and coaches who have put in all the work they have so far.
On a scale of 1-10 how much do you miss seeing the Purple Riders on the field?
Just a little reminder that if you have not purchased iPad insurance for your Jr. Sr. High Student, the deadline is September 11th.
We highly recommend all Jr. Sr. High students purchase this insurance. It covers the students device for the entire year, for $15. The coverage will take care of all accidental breakage to the iPad during the school year. It does not cover the iPad case, apple pencil, or iPad charger.
If you wish to add insurance for your student(s), please email jhohlbauch@arcolaschools.com.
Just a reminder that if you plan on attending the golf match today that ALL spectators must be masked at all times per IHSA guidelines. Please also maintain social distancing as well.
We posted a few how to videos for the iPad's, we hope they are helpful.
