Welcome to Stevens Intermediate School! Located in Wilmington, Illinois, we serve public school students in second through fifth grades in Wilmington School District 209-U. Here at SIS, we believe in open communication and cooperation between students, parents, staff, and community members. We are extremely proud of our students' success, and we will continue to lead them to greatness both in and out of the classroom.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Please take some time to get to know us a little better, catch up on all the latest news, and get more connected to the teachers in the Stevens Intermediate School family. Go Wildcats!
A Message from Our Principal
Dear Parents,
December is here and cold weather will be around for a few months. If you do not already know, I think snow is a four-letter word. Nevertheless, students love to play in the snow. Please dress them properly for the snow: snow pants, snow boots (different from their shoes), coats, hats, and gloves. If they are not dressed correctly, they must stay on the blacktop during recess. And yes, we do go outside for recess unless it is below fifteen degrees Fahrenheit.
At SIS, we try to teach the students kindness and compassion. So, SIS holds penny wars each December. This is a way to show the students to care for each other and our community. The goal is to add pennies to your classroom container and to “bomb” other classrooms with silver or paper money. All proceeds go to Kuzma Care Cottage to help with January supplies. The excitement each day when students see their classroom containers is so fun!
Holiday programs are back in-person this year. On December 8, second and third grades will present their program to the community. In the time of COVID-19, a few rules apply. All students and spectators should enter through door f of Wilmington Middle School. Students will meet their teacher in the AP room. We will show spectators to the gym. All students and spectators must be fully masked. Upon completion of the program, all students and spectators will exit out the main doors of WMS. Even families with both a second and third grade student must exit between shows to allow for cleaning time.
Enjoy the holiday season! Reach out to me if you need help! If you are traveling, be safe! Always take time to enjoy family and friends during this wonderful holiday season.
Merry Christmas! Happy, healthy New Year!
Sincerely,
Venita Dennis
