Chippewa Corner

We had over 430 Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday and Friday! Thank you so much for making the time, whether in person or on Zoom, to connect with your child's teachers about their progress.

If you were unable to make it, reach out to your child's Advisory teacher for information on how your child is doing.

Reminder: NO SCHOOL MONDAY, OCTOBER 9th

Does your child have missing assignments?

Do they need a quiet place to do schoolwork?

Could your child use some extra help from a teacher?

Come to Homework Club!

Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3-4 pm in room 123.

All incoming 6th grade students and students new to District 62 must have a current physical on file in the health office by October 15th.

Any student without a physical after that date may not be in school until it is complete.

If you still need one, please call your pediatrician and book your appointment today.

Tickets for on sale October 16th.

Cost is $5 (covers DJ, snacks, and glow sticks).

All District 62 students, kindergarten through 8th grade, are invited to enter the 2023 Winter Greeting Card design contest.

The first place winner will be honored at the Monday, November 13, 2023 Board of Education meeting. The first place winner will receive a framed copy of their card and a first place certificate. Second and third place recipients will also be honored at the Board of Education meeting.
