Attention families: Please take this survey
Leyden is proactively participating in a districtwide Equity Audit, and we need family feedback as part of the process. Please take the following survey to help us learn more about the personal experiences and perspectives of Leyden families:
Equity is about fairness and inclusion, and removing barriers to leverage access and opportunity for all. The purpose of the Equity Audit is to identify areas of strength and needed improvement when it comes to our efforts to advance educational equity.
For questions about the focus groups, please contact Dr. Rivera at 847-451-3090 or crivera@leyden212.org.
End of semester student schedule
Leyden no longer runs final exam schedules at the end of the semesters. Students will attend half-day schedules on Monday, December 19, and Tuesday, December 20, with Wednesday, December 21, running a usual in-service schedule for the last day before winter break.
**Grab and Go student lunches will be available after all half day schedules.
One Amazing Story: Matteo Benabdallah
This month, we will get to know East Leyden freshman Matteo Benabdallah, who comes to us from Hester Middle School. Matteo's passion for history, and specifically preservation and historical architecture, is absolutely inspiring. He volunteers with the River Grove Historical Society and spends his free time studying old photos, memorabilia, and antiquing.
Watch what happens as we connect Matteo, and our resident Leyden historian and teacher Mr. Chaidez, and film their first interaction.
