Happy Veteran’s Day! Thank you to our families that came out on Thursday evening to see our 2nd graders shine at the Veteran’s Day concert! Special thanks to Mrs. Conrad for planning a wonderful concert and assembly to this week. Thank you to our Veterans for your service and the sacrifices you have made!
Next week at Dooley we’ll be celebrating World Kindness Week. Our students will celebrate by showing an act of kindness each day next week. The spirit week schedule is below if your child would like to join in the fun!
Our Staff Highlight this week is Mrs. Anderson/Mrs. Schuetze’s 4th Grade Class. We hope you enjoy reading all about Room 226!
All families can access their child’s report card through the parent portal on Monday, November 13th. Link to Parent Portal.
School District 54 is making it easier than ever for families to schedule conferences with teachers. We’ve partnered with “Meet the Teacher” to provide a mobile-friendly and easy-to-use system that creates a simple and streamlined scheduling experience. To login and schedule a conference, please visit https://schooldistrict54.meettheteacher.com/ and enter the information in the text fields. Please make sure you enter the information that matches the student’s registration. If you have more than one child in District 54, you will only have to use one child’s information to login. The system will show you options for all the students in your household after you login once.
Once you’re in the system, you’ll be able to select your child’s/children’s teacher(s) and your preferred dates and times. If you prefer to have your conference virtually via Zoom, please add a message to the conference when prompted and type in the word “Zoom.” If you prefer to have an in-person conference, please leave this blank. If you would like to change or delete any scheduled conferences, you can do so by logging in again with the same information. We encourage you to bookmark the website https://schooldistrict54.meettheteacher.com/ on your phone, tablet, or desktop to review, possibly make changes, and for future parent-teacher conference sessions.
For more detailed information on how to login and navigate the site, please view our guide below.
If you have any questions, please call the Dooley office at 847-357-6250 or contact your child’s classroom teacher.
