Congratulations to Dooley artists Mitsuki, Maya, and Sasha. Their artwork is on display at the Prairie Arts Center. We loved seeing their beautiful creations.
Our spotlight today is Ms. Velasco’s Library classes. In addition to reading new books, students had fun working on coding this week. We hope you enjoy the Library Highlight.
As a reminder, spring break is approaching. There is no school March 21st thru 25th.
Elevate will not meet on the following March dates due to scheduling conflicts:
Dear Dooley Students,
You all are invited to join the Japanese Dance Club! In this club, we will be learning about, and expressing Japanese culture through a Japanese dance. This year we will perform at Dooley elementary as part of the Japanese Dual Language 20th Anniversary Celebration in May! It will be a fun and exciting opportunity for students to learn about Japanese culture, and to have fun performing!!
This club is offered to all 4th, 5th and 6th grade dual language students. Anyone in the 4th, 5th and 6th grade dual classes can join the club regardless of dancing experiences! Space in the club is limited, so if there are more students who want to join than the spaces available, we will choose by raffle.

I wanted to remind you that all students should attend school on Tuesday, March 15. Schools were originally closed on that day due to the primary election. However, a new state law moved the election to June and therefore, the District 54 School Board revised the 2021-22 calendar in October to align with the change. Because students are in school on March 15, the last day of school will now be May 25 for students and May 26 for school personnel.
Once again we are reaching out to our families and asking you to participate in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey to provide us with your perspective and help guide our school improvement efforts. The parent survey will be available online through March 11, 2022, at survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois. For more information, click here.
On Zoom. Monday March 24 at 6PM (bit.ly/3I0Yxm6)

Registration for the 2022-23 school year will open on Monday, March 28th through the Infinite Campus Portal. Please login to review the current information and make any necessary changes. If you do not have a portal account, you should have received an email on March 12th inviting you to create one.
As a reminder, all families are required to prove that they live within District 54 boundaries every year. If we are unable to verify your residency electronically, you will be receiving a letter by U.S. mail which will list the residency documents you can provide to the school office to complete your registration.
You are also able to pay the $50 consumable fee for 2022-23, as well as purchase milk and sign up for the instructional device insurance through the portal. If you believe you will qualify for the Free Lunch Program in the 2022-23 school year, and therefore will receive a fee waiver, do not pay the consumable material fee now. Applications will be available in August for the Free Lunch Program.
Information about busing will be mailed the first week in June. Bus passes for those that qualify for free busing will be mailed to you in the beginning of August.
Should you have any questions, please contact our office.
Thank you for your cooperation.
