Student grouping and placement for the 2020-2021 school year takes place in late May. In preparation for this important task a Student Placement Information form is available on this link. This request form is due back to Mr. Dwyer by Thursday, April 9th. Although a request form is not required, parent input about a childās academic experiences can provide valuable insight to this process. Please remember that considerations for placing students in classes include but are not limited to class size, gender ratio, academic levels, student learning styles, specific student needs, diversity, and student peer relations. It is not recommended that a parent request a specific teacher due to the fact that requests are difficult to satisfy and teaching assignments can change from school year to school year. If you have questions about this form, please phone Mr. Mark Dwyer at 630-894-9200.
Students will not be in attendance on Friday, February 28th which is a Teacher Institute Day or Monday, March 2nd due to the Casimir Pulaski holiday.
The Illinois Readiness Assessment (IAR) testing is coming for grades 3-5 in both reading and math beginning April 13th. Staff is working very hard to prepare the students for these assessments. More information about the exams can be found at https://www.isbe.net/Pages/IAR.aspx.
