Ms. Chapman Named Hanover Park Educator of the Year!

I’m so pleased to share with you that recently Ms. Cyndi Chapman, 5th grade teacher at Elsie Johnson Elementary School, was named the Village of Hanover Park’s Educator of the Year! Ms. Chapman is a tremendous teacher, and she’s long been committed to sharing a love for sustainability as the sponsor of the school’s Environmental Club. It’s terrific to see her honored for her work, and I’m so grateful she’s a member of the D93 family. Here she is with Hanover Park Village President Rodney Craig receiving her award. 

Burlington Stores Donates $5K for Elsie Johnson Classroom Supplies

Today, Elsie Johnson Elementary School received a $5,000 donation from Burlington Stores in honor of their newly opened Stratford Crossing location in Bloomingdale. The donation will be divided among Elsie Johnson’s teachers to use for necessary classroom supplies, which they’ll purchase through a special Adopt-A-Classroom portal. Here are Elsie Johnson Principal Maria Weber and CCSD93 Assistant Superintendent for Business Services John Benedetti accepting the donation from the Burlington team. Thank you Burlington!

No School 3/3 for Institute Day: Need Childcare?

There will be no school next Friday, March 3, as our tremendous educators will be hard at work participating in a Teacher Institute Day next Friday, March 3 to further their skills. These types of professional development opportunities are essential to provide the very best education to our students. 

If you are in need of childcare, click the image below to sign up for care with our partners at ActivKids from the Carol Stream Park District!

Flex Day Not Used: No School 3/17

The CCSD93 school calendar includes a “flex day” scheduled for March 17, 2023. This date was built in as an opportunity to potentially make up a school day if the need arose to cancel any other school day for inclement weather or any other emergency. Because we have not needed to cancel any days of school, we will officially not hold school on the flex day, March 17, 2023, and it will be a student nonattendance day.

Please review the following for more information from CCSD93 and enjoy the long weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. David H. Hill

Superintendent of Schools

Elementary Schools Celebrate Trimester 2 With Flair!

Today, several of CCSD93’s elementary schools hosted events for students to celebrate trimester 2!

Students took center stage as Carol Stream Elementary School hosted its annual Talent Show! The event featured terrific singing, dancing, martial arts, magic and more. It concluded with the highest donors to the school’s Kids Heart Challenge getting the change to pie their favorite educators. 

Similarly, Roy DeShane Elementary School hosted their Talent Show! From original poetry, to comedy, to musical numbers and more, these kids showed their skills while delighting their peers and teachers. Special shout out to Miss Clare and Mr. Hernandez for going all out as hosts.

Meanwhile, Heritage Lakes Elementary School celebrated with a special event tied to their theme: There’s a Hero in Every Husky. The entire school came together for a read aloud of the book Super Manny Stands Up, with students donning different colored capes to represent a variety of ways to help one another. Following the assembly, students in older grade levels paired with younger counterparts to name, design and describe their own superheroes!
