A Note From Mr. Christ
Dear Paddock Families,
I hope everyone was able to find some time to enjoy the beautiful weather on Saturday. One day of nice weather is better than none! We are looking forward to a busy week of STEAM activities, small assemblies, and a few safety drills. Starting Tuesday, many classrooms will begin their ABC countdown to the end of the school year (26 days left). We encourage students to participate in these fun, themed days as we look to keep students excited and engaged heading into our last month of school.
Have a great week everyone!
Sincerely-
Jason Christ
Principal
Moving 15 Forward Community Meeting
The presentations will provide an overview of the Moving 15 Forward plan with a particular focus on why this comprehensive plan provides all students enhanced and equitable educational opportunities and the chance to learn at near-neighborhood schools. The presentation will also include information specific to our school and any adjustments that may be made. There will be time for questions and answers during the meeting.
We hope that you are able to join us for the presentation. Please reach out to the Paddock main office with any questions.

Throughout the month of April, students can bring in plastic bags (ex. plastic grocery bags, bread bags, dry cleaning bags, cereal bags, etc.), put them in their grade level box and a representative from Clean Up - Give Back will empty the boxes each week. There will also be a box in the main office. See the flyer below for more information and for a list of acceptable items.
Health Office
A reminder to parents of current 5th grade students that, next year, their 6th grade student will require a physical be turned into the school nurse. Start planning for this now. Reach out to Kathy Pool, the Paddock nurse, at poolk@ccsd15.net with any questions.
If your child has a Health Care plan for asthma or an allergy OR has medication they need to take at school, please make sure you read the linked documents and get in contact with Mrs. Pool, our Paddock nurse. You can reach her at 847-963-5802 or poolk@ccsd15.net.
2022-2023 Student Registration
Online student registration for the 2022-23 school year is now open. If you have not already started this process for your student(s), please visit our registration page to start this process.
Registration is the first step in getting ready for the up-coming school year. After you register your child online you need to:
Pay student fees. Our student fee webpage outlines the District’s student fee structure and the three ways fees can be paid.
If you have a student that is starting Kindergarten, entering fourth grade, or entering 7th grade, you are required to prove residency in District 15. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency.
All three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year. Students of families that, when required, do not prove residency, will not be able to attend class in a District 15 school until the family’s residency is verified.
