What a Wonderful Year!  

Thank you for a wonderful year!  I'm looking forward to seeing some of you back, and will truly miss those of you moving on from your Willow Grove Early Learning Center year(s).  We've loved having your children this year and hope your time at Willow has been as special for you and your child as it is for us.  To remember this year, we will have an end of year photo keepsake coming to you in your email after school is out. It's become an annual tradition at Willow Grove and we hope you enjoy it!

NEW Digital Summer Reading Options for Our KCSD96 Elementary Students (Kindergarten)!

All KCSD96 elementary students have access to myON–a personalized collection of more than 6000 digital books to read over the summer on computers, laptops, and other devices anytime, anywhere.

myON contains books for every age, interest, and reading level that will keep our students engaged and learning all summer long. Even on the go, books can be downloaded to read without internet access. 

Read more info in this  PARENT LETTER and SEE LOG-IN DIRECTIONS by school.

Student log-in information will come home with your children on Monday.

2019 SUMMER READING/ASSIGNMENT–Remember to Read!

We encourage summer reading for all our students. This practice is important–research suggests that students can lose more than two months of academic progress if they don't continue to read during summer months.

Please see SUMMER READING for the parent letter/reading assignment info and suggested reading resources for your student (by grade level). 


BLAST OFF To Summer!

It's hard to believe, but summer is getting close!  We'd like to celebrate the end of our school year with the Blast Off to Summer Countdown!  Check out the countdown to see how your child can participate!
