During the month of March, staff and students have enjoyed participating in activities related to five happiness tactics: gratitude, fun 15, conscious acts of kindness, the doubler, and meditation. On Tuesday, students are encouraged to wear crazy socks for Down Syndrome Awareness.
We hope to see you on Tuesday, March 21st at the District 54 Windy City Bulls Takeover Night. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the District 54 Crisis Fund. Please see below for additional information.
Spring break is approaching. Students will begin break at the end of the day on Friday, March 24th. Students return on Monday, April 3rd.
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 31, 2023, at survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available in English and Spanish. Note: the survey will time out and you will need to start over if you don’t finish in one sitting.
If you have more than one child, you may complete the survey for each child. You will be asked to select your county and then your child’s school.
The Windy City Bulls will host a District 54 takeover night on Tuesday, March 21, at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, and a portion of the proceeds from each $20 ticket purchased will be donated to the District 54 Education Foundation Crisis Fund to support families in our community.

The District 54 takeover night will feature District 54 students participating in performances and other on-court experiences before and during breaks in the game, as well as a District 54 Special Olympics basketball match at halftime.
