Greetings Caruso Families,
For you planners out there, please note that PARCC testing will begin on April 10th. You may view the full schedule by clicking here. Naturally, attendance is important every day, but please do all that you can to promote stellar attendance on these dates in order to avoid your child missing instructional time for make-up testing sessions.
We will provide more specific information regarding the test as the testing window approaches. There have been no significant changes from last year's PARCC assessment.
Sincerely,
Brian Bullis
1st/FINAL Posting - Rick Wormeli SBGR Parent Events
District 109 aligns our curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices with identified learning standards. As part of that alignment, this year, we implemented standards based grading and reporting (SBGR) in our middle schools, which has been in place in the elementary schools for the past four years. As part of our continuing efforts to educate parents about SBGR, we are holding parent education sessions with one of the nation’s leading experts on standards based learning, grading, and reporting, Rick Wormeli.
Please mark your calendar for March 8; Rick will hold two identical parent sessions, one in the afternoon (12:30pm-2:00pm at the Deerfield Public Library) and one in the evening (6:30pm-8:00pm at Shepard Middle School). As part of Rick’s presentation, there will be time reserved to address parent questions and concerns specific to District 109’s implementation and ongoing progress with SBGR. District administration and building staff will be part of those discussions.

We will chose the best location for these workshops based upon the number of RSVPs we receive.
On March 20, Dr. Jeff Zoul, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching & Learning, and a team of teachers and administrators, will make a presentation to the Board of Education about the transition to standards based learning, grading and reporting in our middle schools. Kathryn Anderson, principal of Deerfield High School, also will share the high school perspective and progress on SBGR.
