Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) Reports
Students in grades 3-8 participated in the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) as required by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) during the spring of 2023. Participating school districts, including District 47, have now received a copy of individual student reports. Families will be able to access their student’s report electronically at https://il-results.pearsonaccessnext.com using a unique code on a paper copy of a report that will be provided to parents during parent/teacher conferences. A copy will be sent home to those that are unable to attend conferences.
Virtual Parenting Sessions with Jackie Rhew
District 47 will be hosting a four-part virtual parenting series for D47 parents and guardians starting November 15. In this first virtual session, Jacqueline will lead an interactive discussion around interventions and strategies to promote active school engagement. There will be a special emphasis placed on supporting students who have struggled with mental health, medical, or pain management concerns, leading to issues with attendance, work completion, and building healthy relationships in the school environment.
Parents will:
be prompted to self-reflect on beliefs and mindsets, especially how personal reactions can impact the confidence, motivation, and engagement of their children.
gain strategies to respond to and assess their child’s needs.
learn interventions in the home setting that promote school attendance and engagement.
review obstacles and barriers to active school engagement.

Securing Valuables for Safety
As we strive to maintain a safe and secure learning environment, we urge all families to emphasize the importance of keeping valuables secured with your students. Please encourage your children to leave unnecessary items, especially expensive electronics, at home whenever possible. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
D47 Strategic Plan/Fall Data Update
At the November 20 board of education meeting, Dr. Hinz presented an update for board members on the district’s strategic plan and fall 2023 student data.
Winter Weather Reminder
As we transition from fall to winter, we encourage families to consider the impact of a school closure due to inclement weather. It is our goal to keep schools open when possible to ensure we meet the needs of all students and, most importantly, to avoid a disruption to teaching and learning. Please note: There will be no remote learning if school is closed due to weather conditions. Instead, the day would be made up at the end of the year in one of the five scheduled emergency days on the school calendar. If the decision is made to close school, families will be notified via phone call, text and email. We do our best to make the call before 5 a.m. the day of the closing. The announcement will also be posted on the district’s website and social media channels. No communication means school will remain open. Please be sure to keep your contact information and emergency contacts up-to-date in ParentVue. Should you have changes, please contact the school.
