Congratulations to all the 8th-grade graduates!
Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off, and now you're ready to embark on the next chapter of your academic journey. Keep reaching for the stars and never stop believing in yourselves. We wish them the best in their next 4 years as Sentinels!
A huge thank you to our amazing PTO and all the volunteers who helped our 8th graders celebrate last Friday at the dance. It was a rodeo-themed hoedown and the kids had a blast!
Please join us in congratulating our semester 2 honor roll students. Great way to end the year, Panthers!
Here is the supply list for next year. It is also posted on the Jr. High website under the Student Resources tab. Please note the P.E. uniform requirements. Uniforms can be purchased directly through Holy Cow Sports.
If your student is interested in trying out for sports please fill out the Google Form.
A current sports physical MUST be on file with the nurse before tryouts for any sport.
Midwest Express Clinic at 40 75th St. in Willowbrook is very convenient.
AGAIN, your athlete will NOT be able to try out for any sport unless they have a current physical on file.
Please get this done before school starts on August 14th.
NO EXCEPTIONS
Welcome to Summer Reading!
Summer reading is more than just a pastime; it's a gateway to adventure, imagination, and academic growth for middle schoolers. During those sunny months away from classrooms, diving into books keeps young minds active and engaged, preventing the notorious "summer slide" in learning. Beyond academics, reading fosters empathy, expands vocabulary, and enhances critical thinking skills. It opens doors to new worlds, cultures, and perspectives, nurturing a lifelong love for learning. So, whether it's escaping into a fantasy realm or exploring the depths of history, summer reading sets the stage for endless possibilities and a brighter academic future.
For the 2024-2025 school year, incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students are asked to read one book over the summer and to provide evidence of their comprehension when they return to school in the fall.
I've included information on book choices and evidence below, along with options to read in three different languages: English, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
We are very happy to once again be offering many summer camps for all ages this June and July.
Student(s) who would like to participate should complete the required WHS Summer Camp registration form. Parents, you can sign up your children for multiple camps but will need to fill out a form for EACH one.
In addition, you will be asked which grade each student will be entering in the 2024-2025 school year - this will then direct you to a page where it will list all the camps being offered for that grade level.
If a camp is charging a fee, the check should be made payable to CUSD 201 at the first session of the camp. Please note that if a student's account is not current or paid in full, they may not be allowed to participate in a summer camp.
The List of Camps also includes the coach's email address where questions can be directed. Coaches will send out further information regarding their camps as we approach the summer.
