Starting today, the district will be mailing letters to the homes of all students who will be new or returning to CCSD 89 for the 2021-22 school year. The letters will include the "SnapCode" that is used to complete registration. Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 7.
It is critical that families hold on to these letters. If you lose your letter before April 7, you will need to again prove residency. If you have not received the letter by April 7, please contact Barb Kosartes at the district office (630) 469-8900, extension 3514.
Families should not try to register before 8:30 a.m. April 7. Registering prior to that time will result in the registration being discarded and the family will need to re-register.
Families of current eighth-grade students will be receiving more information from your high school district about registering for the 2021-22 school year.

Provide feedback to district through state's 5Essentials survey |
Families of CCSD 89 students have the opportunity help us build an even better school district by providing feedback through the state of Illinois' 5Essentials survey. You can take the survey from your computer or mobile device at: https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/
After selecting the "Parent Survey", choose "DuPage" as the county. When you begin to type your school name, it will appear in a drop-down list. For Park View and Westfield families, please note that there are multiple schools in DuPage County with the same name. Be sure to choose the Glen Ellyn school.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. One parent per household may participate in the survey. If you have more than one child attending the same CCSD 89 school, you can participate in the survey more than once. If you have children in more than one CCSD 89 school, you are encouraged to complete a survey for each school. The survey will close on Friday, April 2.

Reminders for families returning to in-person learning on March 22 |
For families that are returning to in-person learning for the first time on March 22, there is more information about what to expect here:
As a reminder, the CDC recommends families conduct temperature checks at home before students leave for school, rather than at school entrances. Students should stay home and contact the school nurse if they are positive for COVID-19, have COVID-19 symptoms, or have been in contact with someone who is positive for COVID-19.
Every student will still need to bring a self-certification ticket to school each day indicating they do not have a temperature. (Print additional tickets: www.ccsd89.org/certify)
More than 200 students decided to move from remote learning to in-person for the remainder of the school year. About 500 students will continue to learn remotely.

Upcoming remote days: March 19 (elementary); April 6 (middle) |
March 19 will be a fully remote learning day for elementary school students only. All middle school students who attend in-person on Fridays would still attend in-person on their regular schedule March 19.
Because Glen Crest Middle School is a polling place, the middle school will shift its remote learning day from Wednesday, April 7, to Tuesday, April 6, for that week only. Glen Crest students will attend remotely on Tuesday, April 6. All students will attend live classes on Wednesday, April 7.
