Registration for District 54’s Summer Band and Orchestra program has begun!  Students who have completed fifth, sixth, or seventh grade and have had lessons on their instrument in the District 54 instrumental music program for at least one school year are eligible to enroll.  Summer Band and Orchestra will take place July 8-25 (Mondays-Thursdays) at Addams Junior High School.  Registration forms are available from any instrumental music teacher or at sd54.org/resources/instrumental-music.  If you have questions, please contact the band/orchestra teacher at your school or call 847-357-5138.

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.

MacArthur School will host the annual District 54 Spanish Language Speech Contest on May 2. District 54 students in third through eighth grade are eligible to participate in this event.

If you have questions, contact Lucrecia Temoczuk at LucreciaTemoczuk@nullsd54.org or (847) 357-6666.

This is friendly reminder regarding when to keep your child home from school:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Fever 100 degrees or higher

Students may return to school when they no longer have a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication (i.e. ibuprofen / acetaminophen).  It is also advised to keep your child home for 24 hours if they are experiencing any vomiting or diarrhea.

Thank you Mrs. Bennes, Mrs. Taucher and Ms. Conway for supporting our students on Saturday as well. Your time and dedication for our students is appreciated.

We had such a wonderful time Friday evening. The turnout was extraordinary and we owe a huge thank you to the PTA for their effort. We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing group of parents supporting our students and community. A note of gratitude to Ms. Hernandez, Mrs. Dong and Ms. Cummings for spending their Friday evening with our students. We appreciate all that you do!  

We know that focusing on the whole child is one of our most important goals. Throughout the year, we balance the school day with rigorous instruction and caring for our students’ social/emotional growth. Please continue to ask your child how they’re applying problem solving skills and strategies throughout their day.
