2nd graders Naisha and Shanaya dressed up to celebrate Diwali!

It is hard to believe that we have completed our first trimester of the 2021-2022 school year.  Students celebrated in their classrooms today with a virtual PBIS assembly.  We are so proud of how hard our Dooley Dragons are working!

This week we would like to highlight Ms. Serna’s 3rd and 4th grade class.  We hope you enjoy their pictures from the Room 225 Highlight  and their peak moment during a Zoom call with a meteorologist!  

As a reminder, if you are not able to maintain distancing when dropping off or picking up your child, please wear a mask.

Free SHIELD Testing

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.

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.
