Dear Friend of CCSD93,
Messages From
Superintendent Hill:
This week, all Western Trails students had the opportunity to visit the school’s newly renovated Innovation Center for the first time. It is designed for flexibility, which will enable students to engage in a wider variety of relevant projects and allow more classes to utilize the space at a single time. The Innovation Center’s bright colors and natural lighting are intended to inspire students, while the varied furniture and uniquely designed seating areas and reading nooks will contribute to a more comfortable educational environment. Its embedded technology will allow students to immerse themselves further into learning experiences.
I’m thrilled that Western Trails has joined Elsie Johnson, Roy DeShane, Carol Stream, Heritage Lakes, Jay Stream and Stratford in offering its students such a state of the art space. Cloverdale will be the final CCSD93 school to receive an updated Innovation Center next summer. 

See the Western Trails Innovation Center for yourself, along with the first impressions of some of the school’s 5th graders, by watching the video below.
Please Keep Your Child Home if Experiencing Symptoms
CCSD93's goal remains to keep each student in school as much as possible throughout this unique school year. In order to reduce the potential for transmission in our schools and the resulting need to quarantine close contact students, we continue to ask parents to keep students home when exhibiting any of the following symptoms:
  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

If you do, please be sure to call the school office and let them know. Thank you for continuing to partner with us to keep our students and community safe!

Attend Free Online Parent Presentation from Glenbard Parent Series on 9/8
Glenbard Parent Series provides terrific, free programming for today's parents. You're invited to attend this upcoming program virtually. Visit www.glenbardgps.org for more!
Virtual Curriculum Nights 9/7-9/9
After greater parent attendance and positive feedback from last year’s virtual Curriculum Nights, we will be bringing them back this school year next week! By attending Curriculum Night virtually, parents will become better acquainted with their child's education and school this school year through video presentations from their child's principal and teachers. 

The evening will begin with families collectively joining their school's principal for a singular YouTube Premiere Curriculum Night event where they will receive a general overview on the school year, including the school's goals and additional important notes. From there, parents will be linked to a website where they will find videos from their child's teachers. Teachers will cover how they are working to build relationships, how students are being supported academically, information about assessment and grading, and more. 

Mark your calendar for the dates and times in the image above. Parents will be sent email, text, and app push reminders with their child's YouTube Premiere Curriculum Night link the day before and the evening of the event. If you cannot join live, the videos will be archived to each school's website for later viewing.
No School Monday, 9/6, for Labor Day
As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, September 6, 2021 for Labor Day.

Have a terrific weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. David H. Hill
Superintendent of Schools
