We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the PTO for a thoughtful and generous Staff Appreciation Week. From a snack cart delivering tasty treats and drinks directly to our classroom, delicious pastries in the lounge, and a luncheon from Neat in Westmont,....we were definitely spoiled this week. THANK YOU for making us feel so valued and appreciated! We truly appreciate everything you do to make our Teachers and Staff feel loved and supported.
Graduation will be held in the high school auditorium on Thursday, May 23, at 7:00 pm.
- If you ordered and paid for a gown, your student will receive it at the first practice on 5/22.
- Your student will receive 5 tickets at the first practice on 5/22 if they have turned in all school materials. Be sure to secure these tickets when your student gets home as replacement tickets cannot be issued due to space constraints.
- If you have more than 5 guests, only 5 will be admitted to the high school auditorium, but additional guests may watch the live stream of the ceremony in the high school commons. The live-stream link will also be emailed to 8th-grade parents for out-of-town guests.
There will be 2 mandatory graduation practices for students on the following dates:
- Wednesday, May 22, 8:30 am - appx. 11:30 am
- Thursday, May 23, 8:30 am - appx. 11:30 am (8th-grade students will be dismissed from school for the day at the end of practice on 5/23)
Required Sports Physical Information
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.
As we enter the final month of school we would like to remind you that if your child is going to be absent, arrive late, or leave early, please call the 24-hour absence line at 630-468-8291 and leave a message.
Remember, attendance matters! Let's finish the school year strong, and be sure to attend school!
