Principal-Paula Kennedy
THE MISSION OF THE INDIAN CREEK COMMUNITY UNIT DISTRICT 425 IS TO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE IN LEARNING.
Principal’s Perspective
For the eighth year middle school students (those exiting fifth grade through those exiting eighth grade) will have the educational opportunity to utilize our district’s Summer School Program. Summer School will be offered to students who:
1) need to additional skill reinforcement and practice to earn promotion status to the next grade according to the Academic Warning Policy.
2) are invited to attend based on teacher recommendation so that basic skills are maintained or improved for success at the next grade level.
3) are interested in enrolling and attending higher level enrichment courses with content and activities that are not offered during the regular school year.
Students who fall into categories one and two may have already received preliminary notification from the middle school. Final decisions about those who are required to attend summer school will be made in May. Enrichment classes will be open to those invited.
Students will attend approximately an hour and a half a day, Monday through Thursday, for the entire five week period. (Enrichment class schedules may differ slightly).
Classes will be held at the Shabbona Elementary School. There is no cost to parents and some transportation, if needed and requested, will be provided.
Our Summer School Program is a reflection of the beliefs “All students can learn” and “A standard of excellence should exist for all” as expressed in our District #425 Mission Statement. It is meant to be an additional avenue that students and parents may use to promote growth and success.
Summer School is a great opportunity for skill reinforcement and enrichment. I encourage all invited to attend.
.Yours in education,
