Photos from the Science Fair

The Dooley Science Fair was a huge success.  Our student scientists worked hard on many experiments and presentations.  We learned so much.  All students enjoyed seeing the various projects in grades kindergarten through sixth grade. This day would not have been possible without our dedicated PTA volunteers and our judges. A special thank you to Ms. Lacey for chairing this event.  

As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow.  We hope everyone has a nice weekend and enjoys the beautiful weather!

Notes from Nurse Johnson

2023- Spring SEL Survey 

District 54 is committed to ensuring not only the academic success of each child, but also their social-emotional wellbeing. Your insight as a parent/guardian is essential in creating the most well rounded picture of your student’s strengths and opportunities for growth. To gather your perspective, District 54 will send families of students in grades 3-8 an email link for each child to the District 54 Personal Assessment of Core Competency Survey on Monday, April 17th.  Thank you in advance for participating in this survey, as we believe the home-school collaboration is critical to best support your child’s overall well-being.
