In the 2022-23 school year, CCSD93 received 25 nomination submissions for 18 individuals. Senior leaders judged the submissions against a rubric, and I am thrilled to share with you that the following five individuals were determined to meet the highest levels of the award’s criteria, being named CCSD93’s 2022-23 Distinguished Educators. | |
|
Congratulations to Mrs. Ashline, Mrs. Chairez, Mr. Leary, Mrs. Rajan and Mrs. Thorsen!
As a result of this designation, each Distinguished Educator was profiled on our social media accounts throughout this week and will receive recognition at the May 11, 2023 Board of Education meeting, a pin of recognition, an email tag graphic, and a Friday afternoon off this school year with building or district administration filling in for them.
Last week I was honored to be able to join their principals to surprise these incredible educators with their awards! I invite you to watch the combined video below to see them receiving recognition. I strongly encourage you to visit www.ccsd93.com/distinguished to read individual profiles of how each winner has positively impacted their students and community.

Stratford Students Put on a Rockin' Production! | |
Last Friday, I had the pleasure of catching Stratford’s musical, Rock of Ages. I was impressed by the student performances and the coordination of the sound and lighting crew. Thanks to Mr. Brachmann, Ms. Smylie and Mrs. Trainor for their direction and guidance of our students through the production. | |

Middle School Students Share Writing Journey | |
I was grateful to be invited to Ms. Comiso’s 8th grade ELA class at Jay Stream this week, along with other school and district administrators, to hear from the class’s students about the strides they’ve made this year in their writing. It was terrific to speak with them firsthand about what they have learned this school year. | |

Please review the following for more information from CCSD93 and have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Dr. David H. Hill
Superintendent of Schools

Helpline Available to D93 Community for Safety, Bullying or Crisis Needs | |
|
Safe School Helpline is a safety and tip reporting service that enables CCSD93 students, parents or staff members to submit safety and bullying concerns anonymously via website, text, app or phone call.
The helpline also offers a counseling and crisis call center that features trained counselors available 24/7/365 for individuals seeking assistance in coping with thoughts of self harm, harming others, depression, or feelings of loneliness and loss. While all schools have shared this resource with students, parents are encouraged to take a moment to review it with their children as a great option for any of the circumstances described above.
You can always find it linked on CCSD93's district and school websites as well. We encourage those who use it to report specific incidents to be as thorough as possible in describing concerns so we can assist to the greatest extent possible.
