Families,
Thank you so much for all of the love and appreciation that was shown to our staff this past week. We truly appreciate the videos, emails, and heartfelt thanks we received, and we are so grateful to work with such a supportive school community and PTO.

REPEATING BUT REALLY IMPORTANT: Don't Wait! Register for the 2020–21 School Year
If you haven't already registered your new or returning District 96 student for the 2020–21 school year, please do so right away. Having an accurate enrollment count is important for anticipating staffing needs appropriately. Please tell new neighbors and friends to contact the public info coordinator [email protected] with registration questions and for info on options to delay/waive registration fees.
NEW: Guidance for Parents Supporting Their Children’s Remote Learning
Our faculty and administrators continue to look for ways to support District families during this challenging time, including cultivating a happy parent-child working relationship. As many of us are also working from home with our own children, we recognize that when children listen and follow directions, there are better learning outcomes and less frustration for the entire family. We believe you’ll find THIS ARTICLE helpful and broadly applicable, as it offers specific steps you can take as a parent to earn instructional control and respond to your child’s behavioral challenges: Seven Steps to Successful Parenting Through Behavioral Challenges, written by ELC Behavior Analyst Alexa Halbert, based on Robert Schramm’s work, MA BCBA.
