4/29 BOE Mtg. Recap
Dear Friend of CCSD93,

Messages From
Superintendent Hill: 
On Tuesday, students from both Jay Stream and Stratford participated in the first intramural sports practices of the 2020-21 school year! The weather could not have been better as we welcomed 6th-8th grade students for track, while 7th and 8th graders participated in a Unified Soccer experience. I know I speak for our middle school staff when I say that we are thrilled to provide our students this terrific opportunity to learn skills and engage in sportsmanship for the next few weeks.
Register for COVID-19 Vaccination Event at Jay Stream on 5/1!
As of the writing of this message, there are still slots available for the COVID-19 vaccination event at Jay Stream Middle School tomorrow, May 1. It's free and open to all individuals age 16 or older. Register here and be sure to bring your photo ID and insurance card/Medicare ID if you have one. Invite your family, friends and neighbors! Don't delay, as the slots may close or become filled at any time!

An Arbor Day Planting With DuPage County
Today is Arbor Day. To celebrate, this week CCSD93 partnered with DuPage County to plant an autumn blaze maple tree at Jay Stream Middle School. I was grateful to be joined by CCSD93 School Board President Keith Briggs, Jay Stream Principal Chris Pietroski and County Board members Sheila Rutledge, Greg Schwarze and Jim Zay for the ceremonial planting.
Please Continue to Practice Safety
As students continue to test positive for COVID-19, resulting in the implementation of the isolation and quarantines described above, please continue to stay vigilant in practicing the three W's of wearing a mask, watching your distance, and washing your hands frequently to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and contributing to conditions conducive to in-person learning.
Please review the following for more updates from CCSD93!

Sincerely,

Dr. David H. Hill
Superintendent of Schools
