A Note From Mr. Christ
Dear Paddock Families,
Even with this upcoming week being a shorter one for students, we are going to be very busy at Paddock School! The Spring book fair is going on, there is a Culver's Dine and Share Tuesday evening, and Wednesday is Bike to School Day and Open House from 6:00-7:00pm. Between all of these exciting activities, our teachers are continuing to challenge the students academically and encourage them to follow the 3 B's as we enter our last full month of school.
Have a great week!
Jason Christ
Principal
Student Registration 2023-2024
Online student registration for the 2023-2024 school year is open. Please visit the District registration page to start this process. All returning students MUST be registered by August 1, 2023, or they will be disenrolled from CCSD15. Students who have not completed their registration requirements will not receive a classroom assignment.
After you register your child online you need to:
- Pay student fees. Our student fee webpage provides more information on this.
- New families to the district, kindergarten students, families with a lease, and families that were flagged by our third-party residency verification system are required to provide proof of residency to complete the registration process. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency.
All three steps of the enrollment process (register, student fees, residency) must be completed prior to the start of the school year.
For step-by-step written registration instructions, please view our Campus Parent Document.
Open House
We hope to see you there!
Book Fair
Paddock's book fair has begun! Classroom previews started on April 27th and books will be for sale May 1st-3rd along with being open the evening of May 3rd during Open House.
As a reminder, if you plan on paying by check, please make the check out to Paddock PTA. During the preview days, we have encouraged students to write down the price of the books including the tax (10%) for parents who wish to provide exact payment for books. For your convenience, there is also an online companion fair to purchase books: https://efairs.literati.com?school=stuart-r-paddock-school-palatine-il.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Open House!
Bike To School Day
Bike to School Day will be Wednesday, May 3rd. If your child is unable to ride their bike due to distance or taking the bus, they can still participate! As long as they ride their bike after school they will qualify for a prize. A form will be distributed in May that parents can complete to enter their child’s name in the raffle to win a prize.
Sky Dome Assembly
Kindergarten Meet and Greet
Plastic Recycling Program
Last year, we collected A LOT of plastic. This year, to make things even more interesting, Paddock will be competing with Gray M. Sanborn to see which school can collect the most plastic in pounds. The winner will not only have bragging rights, but also a trophy to display! We are hoping this will be a fun competition between the schools for years to come.
Please see the flyer for more information and examples of acceptable plastics that can be brought to the school and placed in these bins.
One-Five Foundation Walk/Run
Join the one-five Foundation for its first-ever Family Fun Run/Walk! The event will be on May 20 at Winston Campus Junior High (120 N. Babcock Drive Palatine) at 9 am. The Family Fun Run/Walk is open to anyone in our community. Profits from the Fun Run/Walk will go toward the one-five’s teacher mini-grant program. These grants can support a wide range of opportunities for the students of the District with a focus on programs or technology.
