Registration for the 2019-2020 year will be available through your parent portal starting Monday, April 1, 2019.

If you do not have a parent portal account, you should have received an email on March 15 with instructions and a link to do so.

Beginning this year, the district is contracting with a third-party vendor to automatically verify student address information. If your residency is verified electronically, you will not need to submit any additional paperwork to certify that you live within the district’s boundaries. To verify residency, the vendor will use a parent’s name and address to crosscheck the information against electronic databases from other organizations, such as utility companies.

We anticipate most addresses will be verified electronically. If we cannot verify your address electronically, we will send you a letter detailing what additional information you will need to provide in order to register your child for the upcoming school year.

We are so excited to report that two of our students have advanced to the National Level of the Illinois State PTA Reflections.  Congratulations to Jacy and Karina!

Laughing and taking time out of our day to connect with others does a lot of good. This week at Campanelli, students took some time to be creative and have fun with their peers. Teachers provided opportunities for students to participate in potential “Fun Fifteen” and 21 Day Challenge activities, gratitude moments, and random acts of kindness. Of course, we had some silly moments with shaving cream as well. Over the upcoming Spring Break, we will ask your child to participate in the Sparky (the Orange Frog) Spring Break Challenge. On Friday, 3/22 we will speak with the students about this challenge during an assembly. Additionally, information will be sent home next week for parents. We really appreciate your support with our work in positive psychology.

Schaumburg Parent University (SPU) is designed to involve more parents in the life of the school, to strengthen family relationships, and to improve parenting skills that will ultimately result in improved student success academically, socially and emotionally. There are two evening programs scheduled for March. Please note that child care is always available.

 Fit Fam: How to Get the Whole Family Moving Together – March 13

Rethink your idea of what exercise is! A workout doesn’t have to mean running laps or lifting weights. Exercise is leading an active lifestyle, which you can do with your kids, and you’ll be able to fit in more than you think. As a bonus, exercise with family will double as quality time. Let these creative ideas help you turn every day into an opportunity to get fit — and have fun — together. This event will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 13, at Lakeview Elementary School, 615 Lakeview Lane, Hoffman Estates. Fit Fam flyer
