Yesterday, our Okaw Valley Civics class had the opportunity to get outside the classroom and give back by working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Illini Trail!
For the past 10 years, Okaw Valley has been proud to partner with the Corps of Engineers on a variety of projects that provide our students with hands-on learning experiences while giving back to our community and the Lake Shelbyville area.
These opportunities allow our students to learn about conservation, natural resources, teamwork, service, and the importance of taking care of the places we call home. 🌲🦺
Okaw Valley greatly values this long-standing partnership and the many opportunities the Corps of Engineers has provided our students over the years. We are thankful for their continued support, collaboration, and commitment to our students!
A special THANK YOU to the Corps of Engineers for another great day of learning and service!

🇺🇸 Okaw Valley Remembers — September 11
Today, the Okaw Valley CUSD #302 community joins our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
We honor the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who showed extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and selflessness in the face of tragedy.
As educators, students, families, and community members, we have a responsibility to ensure that the lessons of September 11 are never forgotten. May we continue to demonstrate the same values of service, compassion, courage, and unity that brought our country together.
Today and always, Okaw Valley remembers. 🇺🇸

🍎 Back-to-School Meal Information for OVES
We're excited to share that the Okaw Valley Elementary School is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2026-2027 school year! What does this mean for families with elementary students? All elementary students will receive breakfast and lunch at no charge! If your elementary student has a balance from previous years, those will still need to be paid, they will just not be charged moving forward.
Our middle and high schools will continue using the traditional meal program, so meal benefits there will be based on Direct Certification or an approved Household Eligibility Application. Families with children in multiple schools may have different meal benefit statuses for each child. This is normal because the schools participate in different meal programs.
At this time, we have turned off the online option to pay on lunch account balances during registration for all schools. We will turn it back on for the middle and high schools once we have worked through this transition.
Any questions can be directed to the Okaw Valley Unit Office. #YNotOV
Attention Okaw Valley parents and students: Online Registration will open tomorrow, July 21, 2026. In-person registration will be Tuesday, August 4th, 2026. Make sure you get your student registered before the 1st day of attendance on August 11. #YNotOV
