Dear Parents,
We are getting prepared for the Illinois Assessment of Readiness Standardized Test, which will be taking place Tuesday, March 21, 2023 through Friday, March 31, 2023. By working together, we can make sure that your child’s test experience is positive and successful. Here are some suggestions that you can do to help your child succeeds: • Make sure your child gets a good night’s rest. • Have your child eat a healthy breakfast at home or in the cafeteria at school. • Make sure that your child arrives to school on time. • Gently encourage your child to do their best. Thanks for your help!
Dear Parents,
Can you believe we are almost finished with the 3rd Quarter? This means it is time to prepare for our Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences. Our Parent/Teacher Conferences are a time for parents/guardians to meet with teachers to discuss each child's academic progress and strategies for continued growth as we complete the school year. Our Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held Thursday, March 16, 2023 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm, and Friday March 17, 2023 from 8:30am-12:00pm pm. Conferences are now in-person as we look forward to sharing examples of your child's school work while discussing their report card. Thank You for your cooperation.

Tomorrow we are kicking off Red Ribbon Week! Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. Each day we ask students and staff to participate in the dress up- days scheduled for each day. If students dress up for Red Ribbon Week they do not need to wear their regular uniform; however, tennis shoes are still required daily. On Monday, all students are encouraged to wear as much red as they can. Thank you.
Happy Principal's Day Mr. McKinley! We appreciate you!
