Dear Friend of CCSD93,
Messages From
Superintendent Hill:
I apologize for the delay of this edition of Enews, which is typically sent on Fridays.

The 1st trimester of the 2021-22 school year concluded on Friday. It is difficult to believe that we are already a third of the way through the school year. Kindergarten through 8th grade student report cards will be available to parents next Friday, November 12, 2021. As a reminder, no paper report card will be sent home. Instead, report cards will be posted to TeacherEase next Friday at 3:00 p.m. They will be viewable within the TeacherEase app, and on desktop and mobile views.

All kindergarten through 8th grade parents should have received a message about this on Friday from CCSD93. Those who have not previously logged into TeacherEase should have also received their login credentials via email from no-reply@teacherease.com. Please be sure to log in within the next week so that you are able to access your child’s report card when it is posted next week. For more about TeacherEase, visit www.ccsd93.com/ParentPortal. 
All Students Age 5-11 Invited to Vaccination Clinic on 11/13
I’m pleased to share that CCSD93 has partnered with Jewel-Osco to host a vaccination clinic for students ages 5 to 11 on Saturday, November 13. Families of all eligible students were sent a message from me on Thursday, November 4 with an invitation to the clinic. 

Important notes about the clinic:
  • COVID-19 vaccination for children ages 5-11 is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
  • COVID-19 vaccination is up to parent discretion as is not currently required by CCSD93.
  • This is the Pfizer vaccine and will require a second dose three weeks later (December 4) at the same time and location.
  • Under current guidance, fully vaccinated students who experience exposure to COVID-19 but have no symptoms will not be subject to quarantine. In this case, fully vaccinated is defined as two weeks after the second dose, which would be achieved on December 18.

For more information and to register, visit www.ccsd93.com/5to11.
Share Your Perspective With Portrait of a Graduate
As I shared with you last week, CCSD93 has begun its Portrait of a Graduate process, which will inform our next strategic plan. We will begin holding focus group sessions next week, wherein participant input will shape the future of CCSD93 by defining what success means for our community’s children while identifying key skills and traits that they will need to thrive academically and in life.

Parents and other community members are invited to sign up to participate in a focus group by completing the form at www.ccsd93.com/PoG. 

Please review the following information from CCSD93 and enjoy your day!

Sincerely,

Dr. David H. Hill
Superintendent of Schools
