Children's Day / Día del NiñoOn Wednesday, April 30th, Orchard Place School celebrated Children's Day (Día del Niño). Lindsay Santiago and Kristy Bustos organized the event with over 40 parents to honor the students at OP. The night was a huge success, with a buffet style dinner, crafts, games, face painting, entertainment and raffle. Over 450 were in attendance! Everyone had a smile on their face and it was refreshing to see the parents and students enjoying the festivities! Día del Niño is celebrated in over 30 countries worldwide. Congratulations to the 2008 NJHS Inductees! Twenty-one eighth grade students from Chippewa Middle School were inducted into membership of the National Junior Honor Society on May 6, 2008. Members are selected based on meeting the high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship. Membership is more than an honor. It carries with it a responsibility and an obligation to demonstrate those outstanding qualities that result in their selection. Thursday, May 8 is National Educational Support Personnel (Non-certified) Day
Sunday, May 4—Saturday, May 10, is dedicated to the teachers, teaching assistants, principals, educational support staff, district employees, health professionals, and student support staff, who give so much to the welfare and educational development of our students. Each of them, through their instruction and their sense of innovation and community, nurtures the curiosity and desire to learn what inspires the children in our schools. We encourage our District 62 family to continue to achieve this goal, which is also our focus, Working Together For Our Children. Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week encourages parents and the wider community to recognize the important contributions, both personal and professional, of teachers and school staff to the lives of children and their education. On behalf of the parents who place their confidence in our staff every morning at the entrance to the school, the Board of Education would like to sincerely thank our staff for their efforts to make our education system the best.

Whether you work in a small business or a major corporation, we need you. Creativity and imagination have inspired some very interesting and successful partnerships between community organizations, businesses, and schools in District 62. These strong partnerships don’t just happen. Dedicated participants who care about student performance work with school administrators to develop these important alliances.

Join Us in Honoring Our Administrative Professionals!When people want school information, they say they call “the school.” What they really mean is that they call the administrative professionals. To many, administrative professionals are “the school.” Administrative professionals are among the most credible school employees. Their high regard is easy to understand. They generally live in the community and have daily contact with students, teachers, and members of key external audiences such as parents, business people, those without school-age children, and others. They are the building’s hello and good-bye person. They typically greet school visitors and bid them farewell. And, they are the voice of school – the one that answers the phone and says, “Thank you for calling.” Read More.... School Attendance Date ChangeDistrict 62 students will attend school on Friday, May 23 to make up for the emergency day used February 6 due to inclement weather. |
