students standing and singing at Veterans Day Concert

Our Halloween parties were a blast.  Students had fun playing games, participating in escape rooms, and working on crafts.  Thank you to our PTA volunteers for dropping off supplies this week.  While our parade was rained out, we hope you enjoy our Halloween Video and the Room 106 Padlet.

On Wednesday, Dooley 5th and 6th grade students surprised our local Veterans during an American Legion meeting at the Hoffman Estates Police Department.  It was a beautiful performance!  Please use the links below for some of our highlights from the evening.

District 54 is offering free COVID-19 SHIELD drive-up testing to all students and staff. Please note that ANY student or staff member can get a test regardless of their participation in the weekly SHIELD surveillance testing.  Please note:

  • The test is the same saliva-based test used in surveillance testing. 
  • Individual being tested never leaves their car.
  • Results are available within 24 hours.  
  • Individuals will be contacted with a phone call from the District office the next business day following testing with results.

Testing is available all school days from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at School District 54 – Rafferty Administration Center located at 524 E. Schaumburg Road, Schaumburg. More information can be found here:  https://sd54.org/shield-testing/ 

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.
