5th and 6th graders worked collaboratively on World Music Presentations! We learned so much!

It’s hard to believe that we are already wrapping up our second trimester.  We are so proud of how hard our students continue to work each day.  Report cards will be available for viewing thru the Parent Portal on March 7th.

Our spotlight today is Mrs. Conrad’s music classrooms. Students had fun all week long working on their music skills and concepts. We hope you enjoy learning about all the wonderful things they did in this week’s Music Highlight!

COVID Dashboard

With suburban Cook County now in a level of high community transmission of COVID-19 (Cook County Department of Public Health), District 54 has decided to create COVID Dashboards on each school’s website to provide families and staff with a transparent summary of instances of COVID-19 reported to District 54. A positive case indicates that the student or staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. Please report cases of COVID-19 to our school so that we can initiate contact tracing. Parents/guardians of students identified as close contacts will be contacted directly to discuss next steps. District 54 will update these dashboards by 3 p.m. on Fridays when school is in session.
