On Thursday morning, October 4^th a file will be sent to each parents email containing the fall MAP report for your child. Your child’s teacher is looking forward to discussing student progress across all areas including academics and social emotional success during conferences.

Our first round of student-led conferences on Thursday, October 4 and Friday, October 5.  Since our conferences are student-led, we ask that students attend so they can share with parents their progress so far this year, as well as goals they have set for the remainder of the 2018-2019.  Teachers will also be sharing their insights and establishing areas of focus in which we can partner with you.  Please remember that our school day schedule is adjusted to accommodate these conferences.  Thursday, October 4 will be a half-day of school with a dismissal time of 11:40. Also, there is no school on Friday, October 5.

Please join us for our first meeting from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, at the Professional Learning Center, 522 E. Schaumburg Road, Schaumburg. Our topic is “ACCESS, MAP and PARCC: What do they tell me about my child’s learning?” Childcare is available for ages 3-5.

We take your child’s safety very seriously. On Friday, we had a “surprise” fire drill. The Fire Department complemented our students on their quick and quiet exit from the building as well as our staff’s professional response. We are so proud!

In addition, we wanted to remind you that to support students with life-threatening allergies, no food can be served at room parties or other celebrations during the school day; including Halloween.

To help maintain a safe environment before and after school, please remind your child:

1. To walk their bikes until they are off school property.
2. No one can be on the playground equipment before or after school. All students need to be with their parents at dismissal.

As a school, we strive to meet the needs of the whole child, including the social-emotional needs of every student.  Our teachers know your child by name and by need and we work hard to build relationships and understand all of our learners.  To better ensure we support every student, this year we will be using a universal screener to help us ensure we have identified every student who may need additional social-emotional support. 

The universal screener is a series of questions that staff members complete for the students they support. Students do not participate in the screener or receive direct feedback about the results. If your child has elevated risk factors identified through this screener, we would contact you directly to discuss how we can work together to intervene and support your student.  This is simply one additional way for our staff make sure we are helping every student be successful.  If you have any questions about the screener, please feel free to contact me. 

The week of September 10-14 is National Arts in Education Week. A program designed to promote the idea that arts are an essential part of a complete education, no matter if it happens in the home, school, or community.

Reflections is a National PTA arts program which reinforces this by asking students to get creative at all local PTA levels. Campanelli PTA is proud to help deliver this enriching program each year. This year, the program celebrates its 50^th Anniversary and students are invited to create works of art in any of six different arts categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts collaborating with the annual theme.

The theme for the 2018-2019 school year is “Heroes Around Me.” Students can create as many projects as they like, in as many arts categories as they like. Guidelines including specific rules per category and entry forms can be found in the Library Media Center (LMC). Entries must be submitted by Wednesday, October 31 in the LMC also. 

From our local PTA, projects advance through a judging system through council, district, region, state and national levels of the program. We have had wonderful participation over the last few years with many of our students recognized for moving to the regional and state levels.
