We are excited to welcome you to a new school year at Clinton Elementary School! Our team is eager to begin another year of discovery, learning, and growth alongside our wonderful students, parents, and guardians.

At Clinton Elementary, we are committed to creating an environment where students are encouraged to think critically, explore their potential, and develop the confidence to pursue their goals. We prioritize fostering a safe, engaging, and inclusive space where every child can feel valued, express creativity, and take pride in their contributions to the school community.

Our educational philosophy is simple: with the right guidance and support, every student can succeed. We aim to create a culture of collaboration and positivity, where children are empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. By building strong, trusting relationships between students, staff, and families, we are confident that we can make this year an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

We recognize that education is most effective when schools and families work together. Your support and engagement are essential to the success of our students, and we invite you to stay involved throughout the year. Whether through open communication, attending school events, or volunteering, we are grateful for your partnership and commitment.

If you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to reach out to us at 217-935-6772 or by email at pranstead@cusd15.org. We also encourage you to visit the school whenever possible to witness the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that we are cultivating for your children.
