This week, students throughout CCSD93’s schools devoted time to learning about computer programming through hands-on exploration in celebration of the global Hour of Code initiative. Third graders at Heritage Lakes seized the opportunity by making observations and gathering data to understand sequencing and ultimately learn to code a light display with Little Bits robotic kits! | |

Parents Invited to Virtual Info Night on Student Abuse Prevention Program on 12/12/22 | |
|
As shared with parents last week, in January all CCSD93 students will participate in program called Be Seen and Heard, a child sexual abuse prevention program. It is designed to create an age-appropriate, safe and engaging environment where students will learn about the difference between safe and unsafe touch, the difference between safe and unsafe secrets and the importance of speaking up to trusted heroes and adults. This program is in its third year with CCSD93 and is designed to meet a state mandate called Erin’s Law, which Illinois and 36 other states have adopted to help combat child sexual abuse. It is important to note it is not being implemented in relation to the controversial new sex education state standards, which CCSD93’s Board of Education has opted out of adopting.
Parents are invited to join a virtual information night about this program at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, December 12, 2022. You’ll receive a Zoom link to the event the afternoon of December 12, so please keep an eye out for it if you are interested in attending. For more information, visit this website.
