CCSD93 will again offer its Dual Language program for interested incoming kindergarten students for the 2019-20 school year. Dual Language classrooms contain half English speaking students and half Spanish speaking students, and they are taught lessons in both English and Spanish.

You can find out even more about the Dual Language program by attending any of the following three identical meetings:
-
Thursday, January 31 - 7 p.m. at CCSD93's District Office (230 Covington Drive in Bloomingdale)

Birth to 5 Let's Play a Terrific Time for Young Families
|
|
Hundreds of community members brought their young children to the 2nd annual Birth to 5 Community Coalition's Let's Play event last Saturday!
Families with children five and younger enjoyed multiple indoor play stations featuring materials and activities tailored specifically toward these young ones.
Thank you to all who attended, and to all of our community partners, like the police and fire departments, the park districts, the public libraries, and more who came out for the event. Attendees were able to connect with them and various other Birth to 5 Community Coalition members, which are community organizations that provide care and services for our community's youngest children.
If you have a child age birth to five, be sure to check out the Community Coalition's website at www.ccsd93.com/birthto5 or give them a call at 630-307-3750 to see what community resources they can connect you with. Here are some photos from the day! |

No School 1/21 for MLK Day
|
There will be no school on Monday, January 21 as we recognize Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and acknowledge his tremendous contributions towards the civil rights movement and greater equality throughout the country.
In CCSD93, we've initiated an Excellence and Equity Committee with the purpose of identifying achievement gaps and barriers that exist in District processes that can inhibit students from receiving an equitable, relevant education and prevent families from feeling connected to our schools. We hope that the work of the committee honors Dr. King's legacy and the ideals he represented. We will share more on the Excellence and Equity Committee in the near future. |
|
Have a terrific long weekend! We'll see you Tuesday!
Sincerely,
Bill Shields, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
