The annual Bloomingdale CHARACTER COUNTS! Celebration night was held Tuesday evening. Students from DuJardin, Erickson, Westfield, Winnebago, and St. Isidore performed various songs during the event. Bloomingdale Village Trustee, Frank Bucaro helped present the 2019 American Character Youth Awards. Congratulations to DuJardin fifth grader, Veronica Archacki (see photo) for being one of the recipients of this award. DuJardin 3rd graders performed the songs, "Circle of Life" and "Responsible" under the direction of music teacher, Miss Doran. This year's theme celebrated the green pillar of Responsibility.
On Friday, October 11th students will not be in attendance due to Teacher Institute Day. Staff members will meet as a district at Erickson and be involved in standards based grading and reporting practices with a representative from OTUS. OTUS is a company that is helping D13 with standards based grading and reporting. Grade level teams will work on the development of ELA proficiency scales, aligning assessments to the standards, and discussing grading principles.
Students will not be attendance on Friday, October 11th for Teacher's Institute Day or on Monday, October 14th as we observe Christopher Columbus Day.
