This year, we have spent time as a school reading the book The Circles All Around Us by Brad Montague. We have learned about the importance of including others and being kind. Today each student painted a small wooden circle. We plan to place these colorful pieces outside later this spring. We encourage you to ask your child what they painted on their circle.
Spring break has arrived! As a reminder, there is no school March 21st thru 25th. We look forward to seeing students on Monday, March 28th.

Each spring, students in District 54 take federally mandated assessments (IAR) designed to help school districts understand how our students are growing academically. This year, the English Language Arts and Math Assessment for grades 3-8 will be given at school between April 5th and April 22nd. The classroom teachers will communicate your child’s specific testing dates.
