The upcoming iReady assessments will take place from Wednesday, January 15th to Friday, January 17th. These assessments are an important tool to measure students' progress in reading and math, helping to identify areas where they may need additional support. It is crucial that students come prepared and try their best during this period to ensure an accurate reflection of their current skills. Please make sure students are well-rested and arrive on time to participate fully in this important evaluation.

For the 2024-25 school year, District 204 will continue to follow the 3-year e-Learning program that was approved by the Board of Education at their August 22, 2022 meeting, and goes through 2025. E-Learning days are district-wide days that permit student instruction to be received remotely while students are not physically present in lieu of the district's scheduled emergency days.

In the event that two consecutive e-Learning days would occur, the first day would be asynchronous learning and the second day would be synchronous as follows.

Day 1

• Superintendent determines that an emergency closing is necessary and utilizes an e-Learning day

• All assignments posted on Google Classroom or packets sent home

• Staff available by email or through Google Classroom for questions, concerns, or assistance

Day 2

• If the Superintendent decides that an additional consecutive day of e-Learning will take place:

• Students and staff will follow the e-Learning schedule that includes synchronous opportunities for check-in, office hours, and/or instruction

If severe weather would prevent our schools from opening, we will announce an e-Learning day the same way we have informed you in the past of weather related school closings. The announcement will be made by 6 am and posted on our district homepage. We will also make a 204 Connect phone call to alert you of the information.

The STEM Fair is coming to Nancy Young Elementary on February 20. Registration has been extended to January 17 for all 2nd - 5th grade students who would like to participate. Simply scan the QR code on your child's Chromebook and register within the Google classroom sign-up page. Further details regarding the STEM fair are provided within the Google Classroom. Hope to see you there!
