Annawan CUSD #226 will continue Early Dismissal Time: The start of the 2020-2021 school year has gone very well. It has been wonderful to have our students return to school and thank you for your support to help make this happen. We have made the decision to continue our early dismissal time of 1:50pm through the end of the second quarter (December 18, 2020). We appreciate everyone's commitment to help make in person instruction happen this semester. We ask that you continue to help the mitigation process as we combat COVID-19 together. Please continue to help make sure our students are wearing their face covering, washing their hands, maintaining social distance, and following the IDPH advice pertaining to possible symptoms. We will continue to do our best at Annawan CUSD #226 to provide a safe learning environment for everyone and appreciate your continued support!
The Village of Annawan has issued a boil order for the grade school tomorrow (9/29/20) as we take care of a water leak situation.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this situation.
