We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our families for the support you've given your children as they prepared for the IAR (Illinois Assessment of Readiness). Whether it was helping with a good night's sleep, encouraging a positive mindset, or simply reminding them to do their best, your efforts made a difference!
We’re also incredibly proud of our students for taking the assessment seriously and putting forth their best effort. Their focus, perseverance, and hard work did not go unnoticed. Way to go!

We are so lucky to have such an incredible team of dedicated and passionate educators at our school. Their hard work, care, and commitment make a difference in our children’s lives every single day, and I am so grateful for them!
This year, we’ll be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week from Monday, May 5th, through Friday, May 9th. Keep an eye out for an email from the PTN or your homeroom coordinator with details on how you can get involved.
If you’re looking for ideas on how to show a little extra love, we’ve attached the Teachers' Favorite Things document to help guide you.
Thank you for helping us celebrate our amazing teachers—they truly deserve it!
The clap-out will be on Thursday, May 22nd at 1:45 pm.
The clap-out will take place outside (weather permitting) around the walking path. A map of the clap-out route can be found below. Parents, please arrive by 1:35 to find a spot on the inside of the walking path.
We ask that you do not stop your child to taking a picture during the Clap Out. Pictures can be taken after the parade concludes by the Card My Yard Sign (donated by the PTN) that will be located by the baseball fields at the end of the route.
Following the conclusion of the Clap Out, you may take your child home by signing them out with their homeroom teacher.
In the event of inclement weather, the clap-out will be held indoors and parents will be in the gym.
