Speech screenings start Nov. 14
Kindergarten speech screenings will be conducted November 14.
2nd grade speech screenings will be conducted in the Winter (Date TBD).
The primary purpose of the speech screenings is to identify articulation (speech sound) errors.
Additional screenings for concerns with receptive language, expressive language, voice or fluency will be available at parent and/or teacher request.
Parents will only be notified if their child does not pass the screening. If the screening results indicate additional assessment and/or speech therapy support, you will be contacted by one of the speech-language pathologists.
If you have any questions about the screenings or concerns about your child’s communication skills, please contact your child’s teacher or one of the speech-language pathologists: Lisa Netzly at 847-400-8826, lnetzly@district30.org or Kelsey Martin at 847-400-8847, kmartin@district30.org.
District 30's preschool screenings are also held at Willowbrook School. These screenings, designed to identify preschool age children who may benefit from special education support prior to kindergarten, are conducted throughout the school year. If you would like to schedule a screening for your preschool child, please contact Tiffani Cuneo at 847-498-8964.
Next chance to share your input is Nov. 29

November is Native American Heritage Month
District 30 joins our nation in recognizing November as Native American Heritage Month. (Click here or below to learn more.) We celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Native people and acknowledge their important contributions.
In past classes, our students have learned traditions of the powwow, explored Native American life of the 1800s at The Grove, created virtual museums during Native American research projects, and created traditional dolls – watch our social media to see what they learn this year!
Missing items? Please check the lost & found
Our lost and found baskets are overflowing. Please have your child check the baskets by the front doors for any items that belong to them. Thank you!
