Message from the Principal
Things are looking up for the new school year. The students are just as excited about being back in school and ready to learn as we are. Our staff continues to find innovative ways to educate every child with a curriculum that is aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards in the Least Restrictive Environment. Our school takes pride in hiring highly qualified teachers. Many attended training over the summer, giving them the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new Language Arts and Mathematics curriculum and instruction. You'll notice new books in your child's book bag; please make sure your child takes good care of them. Letters will be sent home with information about each math unit
