Kinders celebrating their 100th Day of School

This week, our kindergarten students celebrated their 100th day of school!  We are so proud of how hard they have worked during the first 100 days of school.  Our spotlight today is Mrs. Mannina’s kindergarten class.  We hope you enjoy the room 100 highlight!

Linked below, you will find information about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey.  We would like our families to participate in this survey for our school.  

Additionally, we would like to remind you that Friday, February 17th is a half-day for students. Dismissal will be at 11:40.  Monday, February 20th is a non-attendance day.  

5Essentials

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.
