The ISA represents Illinois’ commitment to preparing all students for college and careers, including in the high-demand science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The assessment also satisfies federal accountability requirements and is designed to reflect classroom experiences. Here is a letter with more information regarding the Illinois Science Assessments.

Ice Cream day was a blast. Thank you to every parent that purchased ice cream, donated their time to serve ice cream, or sent in additional money. It was so much fun to be able to include all the students in the district.
OOPS! On the print flyer that was sent home regarding Ice Cream day the PTO email address that accepts Zelle payments was missing an s at the end. The correct email address is: d76ptopayments@gmail.com If you attempted to send a payment for Ice Cream and it is still processing or never went through, please verify the email address. If your payment was directed to an incorrect email address you should be able to cancel and resend. Thank you for your support.
