Note from Mr. Dubinsky
CCSD 89 is offering expanded summer school for kindergarten-through-seventh-grade students. Classes will be 8-11 a.m. June 6 to June 24 at Park View. Summer school is designed for students who need to review skills that were introduced in the 2021-22 school year. Seats are limited; they will be filled in the order applications are received. Enroll your student through this form: https://forms.gle/6DxafYgFcJ1SCsCr8
The deadline to complete the form is 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 27.
Summer school is free. Transportation (if needed) is provided. Questions? Contact Antonio Diaz at adiaz@ccsd89.org or (630) 469-5583.
Reminder: There’s no supervision at the playground before 8:30 a.m.
Please remember that there is no supervision behind the school or on the playgrounds in the morning. The school staff supervision begins at 8:30 a.m. and is focused on the front of Briar Glen, where kids are entering. If your child wants to use the playground before 8:30 a.m., a family member should stay to supervise. If you drop your student off before that time, they will not have school supervision on the playground.
We appreciate your support in keeping all kids safe!
The new playground looks great! Thank you to all our students, staff, families, and the PTC for raising enough money for all kids to enjoy.

During TEAM DAY students worked in small groups and wrote & illustrated ideas for ways to “Help the Earth”. Below are winning groups per grade level. Great job everyone!
The Bulldog Run is back! Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 22. The deadline to register is Friday, April 29, 2022.

Please complete your 2022-23 registration as soon as possible
