Du Quoin CUSD 300
We’re excited to share that summer facility upgrades are underway at Du Quoin High School to enhance safety and improve the overall experience for our students and community.
🔧 Parking Lot and Drive Resurfacing
Work will begin to resurface the staff parking area and driveways around the high school. For safety reasons, we ask that the public avoid using these areas while construction is in progress. Parking is available using the student parking lot and using the crosswalk to enter the school.
🏃 Track and Field Resurfacing
We also have the resurfacing of the track surrounding the Van Metre field expected to begin next week, weather permitting. During this time, the area will be an active construction site and closed to the public to ensure safety and allow the project to be completed on schedule.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we complete these important improvements. Both projects are expected to be completed in the next several weeks, just in time for the start of school.
Lastly, if you have not yet registered your student for the upcoming school year, please complete registration at your earliest convenience by logging into TeacherEase and completing the online registration process. Students return on Wednesday, Aug. 13!
Thank you for your continued support of Du Quoin CUSD 300!
