CCSD 89 is again offering expanded summer school for kindergarten-through-seventh-grade students. Classes will be 8-11 a.m. June 6 to June 24 at Park View Elementary School, 250 S. Park Blvd., Glen Ellyn.
 
Summer school is free. Transportation (if needed) is provided. Classes will be in-person. Enroll your student through this form: https://forms.gle/6DxafYgFcJ1SCsCr8
 
The 2022 summer school program is not an acceleration program. It is designed for students who need to further review 2021-22 skills and standards. The summer school program is not recommended for families that know they will be missing one week of the classes between June 6 and June 24. Current eighth-grade students would take summer school through the high school district. 
 
Although the CCSD 89 program has expanded significantly from previous years, there are still a limited number of spots. If there are more applicants than seats at a grade level, spots will be filled in the order that applications were received. Everyone will be notified by early May whether they were accepted for summer school.
 
The deadline to complete the form is 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 27.
 
Questions? Contact CCSD 89 summer school principal Antonio Diaz at adiaz@ccsd89.org or (630) 469-5220.
Next bond informational meeting is April 27 at Briar Glen
In June, residents who live in CCSD 89 boundaries will have the opportunity to vote on whether the district can issue bonds to improve educational environments and school safety systems while reducing the tax rate.
 
The next informational meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 27, at Briar Glen Elementary School, 1800 Briarcliffe Blvd., Wheaton.
 
There will also be an online meeting at 7 p.m., Monday, June 13. The link to participate in the online meeting will be posted at www.ccsd89.org/schoolbonds
 
All meetings are open to anyone in the community. There will be a short presentation at each meeting, followed by an opportunity to ask questions about the referendum. You can see the April 19 online meeting here: https://youtu.be/yTlmMDcE5bw

If approved, the bonds would allow the district to complete essential infrastructure work to keep schools safe, healthy, and accessible without raising residents' tax rate. The construction bonds would fund infrastructure work at all five schools.
