Henning Parents:
If you plan to attend a field trip or an event at Henning this year please follow this Verkada Volunteer link to pre register with the office: Visitor Sign In Link. This is a brand new screening system, and every parent or visitor must complete this process before they will be allowed to participate. Thank you for your cooperation to keep our kids safe.

The Triad Preschool For All program, housed at C.A. Henning Elementary, has been honored with the 2025 Gold Circle of Quality Award by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) — the highest recognition awarded to early childhood programs in Illinois.

The Gold Circle Award is based on rigorous standards that emphasize instructional quality, family engagement, staff qualifications, ongoing professional development, and effective program administration.
This recognition highlights the dedication and excellence of Triad’s Preschool For All staff in building a strong educational foundation for young learners.

We are deeply grateful for our team’s hard work and commitment to providing families with the support and resources needed for children to thrive as they begin their school journey.

Congratulations to the Preschool For All team on this outstanding achievement!

This afternoon, Triad CUSD #2 broke ground on the Knights Crossing Transition House. Knights Crossing will be a school home where our young adults learn and practice the skills they need for independent living -- cooking meals, managing daily responsibilities, and gaining confidence for the future. The name is fitting: just as Knights are known for courage and perseverance, this house represents a crossing into adulthood, independence, and opportunity. This house reflects the heart of the Triad district's mission: preparing every student for life beyond the classroom. It would not be possible without the vision of our board, our staff, the support of our families, and the commitment of our community. Together, we are building more than a house -- we are building a foundation for independence and success for generations to come. #Growing2gether
