We are excited to share key updates to our literacy curriculum for the 2024-2025 school year. Since January 2023, our literacy committees—comprising teachers, literacy coaches, administrators, and special education and language program representatives—have rigorously assessed various resources, considering essential standards, district data, teacher feedback, and student outcomes.

Based on that thorough review, we have selected HMH Into Reading for K-5, HMH Into Literature for 6-8, and Arriba la Lectura for K-5 Dual Language as the core curricular resources for literacy.

To support this transition, we have developed a comprehensive professional development plan for our staff, including a one-year subscription for in-depth coaching from an HMH specialist who will offer personalized support during implementation.

We believe these new resources will greatly enhance our literacy instruction and improve student learning experiences. Thank you for your continued support as we work to provide the best education for our students.

District 41 has partnered with a new transportation service provider to support your family next school year, Safeway Transportation Services Corp. Safeway will service District 41 as well as Glenbard District 87. More information will be coming soon about your child’s specific transportation plan including times for pick up and drop off. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Sabalaskey, Special Education Transportation, at 630-534-7232, or Shannon Seidler for general transportation questions, at 630-534-7222.

District 41’s food service partner Quest requires preorders for all elementary school lunches. The preordering process will allow Quest to better provide the accurate number of lunches to each school building. This process is required for all elementary students including families who have approved fee waivers. Hadley Junior High School students do not preorder.

Preorders must to be completed by midnight the Thursday before the following week.

Preorders are taken through an app/website called MyMealOrder.com (MMO). In order to get started with MMO you must complete the following steps:

If you miss the preorder window and your child doesn’t have lunch from home, your child will be served a Sunbutter sandwich along with a snack and drink. The menus will be up in advance and families may preorder for more than one week at a time. Please note, the above process is being used solely to collect lunch orders. The charges related to your orders will be automatically transferred to your PushCoin account and applied against your existing balance.
