It is Spring Book Fair time!!!!!!

Spring Book Fair is here!  The weather has been terrible and looking at the forecast next week, we are in for more of the same.  What would be better than a warm drink, a comfortable chair and good book?  Please come out on Saturday to Barnes and Noble in Deer Park and support Woodlawn’s PTO by buying a book, magazine, calendar, etc.  We have a full slate of activities for people to see and experience.  Listed below are the people and groups who will be attending.  Bring the entire family, it is a great way to spend a couple of hours.   If you have never seen a world-class performer, you will love our 1:30p.m. surprise guest!

Schedule process for the 2013-14 school year

Schedule is an often times complex and difficult process.  If there is a specific concern or request that you have for your student, please e-mail me at ggrana@kcsd96.org.  This response applies to anyone making a request…”We do not make any promises when it comes to specific requests, but we will see if the request works within the confines of the scheduling process”. 

STANDARDS-BASED REPORT CARD SURVEY RESULTS

Soon after Trimester 2 report cards were posted, we sent out a survey to seek your input on the new reporting format. Here is a sample of the survey results.

Seventy-nine (79) parents across D96 responded. The first 3 questions were on a scale (1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree), and the final question asked for any comments. Please see below for the results: 

We greatly appreciate the comments you shared, as well. They truly help us reflect upon our work to continue moving forward with standards-based reporting. Those comments with specific questions or requests for follow up will be addressed as soon as possible via email. As always, should you wish to discuss with either Mr. Murphy or myself, please feel free to call or email. 

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Grana
