8th grade students got to experience a little bit of HS life as they visited West Chicago high School yesterday.
Check out these cool third grade Election Videos, not only are they cute but the teacher explains the technology that was put into them including an app that turns students scripts into a sort-of teleprompter.

Thanks to Adrienne and the 7th grade team for organizing today's Career Fair. What a great experience for our students to be able to learn from professionals in the field. Special shout out to Jessica for stepping up again to showcase the teaching profession.
Thanks to Lyn and the 6th grade team for organizing the DaVinci Assembly for the 6th grade students. This interactive experience engages students in history and the arts.
Melissa L had Michael Miles here yesterday..he is an amazing musician and teacher of music history and style.
I'd like to thank Greg and Ellen for all of the set-up they did to make the Parcc Trial run as well as it did. The special teachers and I learned a lot about some of the problems that we might encounter next week. A huge thank you to all of the staff for preparing the students all year to take the PARCC next week. Your concern and effort have not gone unnoticed. Today we will be putting your testing tickets and reference sheets in you mailboxes. If you need graph paper or scratch paper you can also get it from the office.
I'd like to thank Alex and Colleen for organizing tonight's Student Council Movie and Dance tonight. These experiences enrich our students experience and require hard work and organization. I look forward to seeing Nemo on the new big screen. If you would like to help chaperon the dance tonight please let me know.
