We had so much fun celebrating Halloween this week! Our students enjoyed the parade (despite the cold and snow) and had a great time celebrating with classmates during the parties. Thank you to our volunteers for making the day so special for our Dragons. We also want to thank our PTA for a wonderful Trunk-or-Treat event on Friday!

Today marks the end of the first trimester. We have so much to celebrate and reflect on as we make our way into Trimester 2!

Our Staff Highlight this week is Mrs. Boyd’s Class Mrs. Boyd is our 3rd Grade Japanese Dual Language Teacher. We hope you enjoy reading all about Room 221!

November Conferences

We will host student-led conferences with our families on November 20th and 21st. School District 54 is making it easier for families to schedule conferences with teachers. We have partnered with “Meet the Teacher” to provide a mobile-friendly and easy-to-use system that creates a simple and streamlined scheduling experience. The link for “Meet the Teacher” will be sent out on Monday, November 6th and go live at 8:00 AM.  

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.
