This week’s Coin War was a huge success. We are still tallying our coins and will keep you posted on our totals for this donation to Amita Health Cancer Center!
Our class highlight this week is Mrs. Walz’ kindergarten dual language class. Kindergarteners had fun learning about force, writing riddles, and getting ready for the 100th day of school. We hope you enjoy the Room 101 Highlight!
As your kids head out in the morning, please remind them to pack snow pants, gloves, hats, and wear a winter coat. This will help to ensure kids are comfortable during recess.

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 child’s strengths and opportunities for growth.

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.

The Dooley PTA is coordinating auction baskets/items for the Schaumburg Township Council of PTAs Annual Auction Event and we need your help! Each year the Schaumburg Township Council of PTA’s offers college scholarships to former District 54 students, and summer experience scholarships to current students. The funds to support these scholarships are raised during the STC’s Annual Silent/Live Auction event. Each of the 28 schools in SD54 are asked to contribute.
Since all our Dooley students can benefit from the scholarship funds offered by the STC (visit https://sd54.org/pta/ for more info on scholarships), we are asking the entire school for donations (but make sure to join the Dooley PTA today so you can apply for scholarships).
We are looking for NEW / UNOPENED ITEMS listed below:
Any Crayola Brand School Supplies (crayons, markers, craft kits, paper, coloring books, paints, chalk, clay, canvases etc.)
Target or Walmart gift card (any amount is helpful) that can be used to purchase additional items for the baskets. Please be sure to include receipt or value amount with gift cards.
If you have a local business, we would love to highlight it either with a product or service donation (with your business named on the auction platform)
Donation items must be dropped off at the school office prior to February 1st.
Please contact Nicole at [email protected] to coordinate other delivery/pick up of donations or with any questions. Thank you for your support to the Dooley PTA!
If have not already done so, please email Nurse Johnson ([email protected]) or drop off a copy of your child’s vaccination card if they are fully vaccinated. Current IDPH guidance states that vaccinated students do not have to be quarantined if they are in close contact with a student that tests positive for COVID-19.

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.
