1st/FINAL Posting - CMS Quarter Two Attendance Update
1ST/FINAL POSTING - ATHLETIC FORM REMINDERS
As we approach tryouts for volleyball and other activities here are some regular reminders for students that are participating in athletic activities at CMS throughout the year (you can go to http://caruso.dps109.org/athletics/ for more information and access to forms):
Before Tryouts: All students interested in participating in any interscholastic athletic activity must have the following forms on file with the school nurse (you only need to submit these forms once each school year):
- A physical form: For students entering grade 6, the “Certificate of Child Health Exam” form required for all incoming students in Grade 6 can serve as the athletic physical. Make sure that your physician checks the interscholastic sports participation box. For students entering grades 7 and 8, the athletic physical form is the IESA “Pre-participation Examination” form. In any case, the physical must be less than a year old.
- A signed Interscholastic Parent Permission and Concussion Information Form.
There are baskets located in the front office to drop off these forms.

1st/FINAL Posting - Survey: Coordinating District 109 & 113 Calendars
District 113 (Deerfield High School) is considering future changes to their calendar in order to move first semester finals before winter break. Any changes that District 113 chooses to make would not take effect until the start of the 2018-2019 school year; approximately 20 months from now. One of the options District 113 is considering would move the start date of school earlier in August (for the 2018-2019 school year, the exact date would be August 13, 2018). Other options under their review include unbalanced semesters and no change to the traditional calendar. Parents of students at Deerfield High School should have the opportunity to take a survey from District 113 that clearly articulates potential calendar shifts.
Historically, when the school calendars are created, District 109 closely follows the District 113 calendar, which includes having similar start dates for students. However, given that we do not administer final exams like the high school, we are interested in gathering District 109 opinions on if or how we should adjust our calendar in the event of a significant change in the Deerfield High School calendar.
Please click to take a very short survey about the District 109 calendar. The survey closes February 1.
1st/FINAL Posting - Chromebook Charging
As we turn the page to the second semester it is a great time to remind students to come with their Chromebook charged so they are ready to learn each day. Please take a moment to reinforce this expectation at home so that we may maximize our opportunities to learn during class time.
