Each year we ask every family to fill out this parent survey to help our school celebrate what is going well, and improve areas that need our attention. This survey helps us do that. Please click on the link below. http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/

As we head into a fun and busy stretch of the school year, we have a couple friendly reminders to help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 😊

🎉 Birthday Celebrations

District 303 has a policy of no outside food or snacks for birthdays or classroom celebrations. While we know sharing treats is a special tradition for many families, we celebrate our students in some pretty great (and sugar-free!) ways at school.

On their birthday, students:

Get a shout-out during morning announcements
Receive a birthday pencil
Pick out a book

If you would still like to send something in to help your child celebrate, please choose non-edible items such as stickers, pencils, erasers, or other small trinkets. We promise the kids are just as excited about fun goodies as they are about cupcakes — and our teachers appreciate keeping the crumbs to a minimum!

🌤️ A Little Mud Happens…

With warmer weather comes outdoor recess adventures — and sometimes muddy grass just beyond the blacktop. We’ve had quite a few students come in a little soggy lately (and our youngest learners occasionally have accidents, too).

We encourage families to keep an extra pair of pants in your child’s backpack or locker, just in case. It saves a trip to the nurse’s office and keeps everyone comfortable for the rest of the day.

And one more small favor — if your child has borrowed “Anderson pants” from the nurse’s office, we would greatly appreciate them being returned after they’ve been washed. Our spare-pants collection works best when it’s fully stocked!

Thank you for your partnership and support. We’re grateful for our Anderson families!

Kindergarten registration for the fall 2026 kindergarten families opened on Monday January 26, 2026. Thank you to the families who have registered your incoming kindergarteners!

Registration is ongoing. If you have an incoming kindergartener, Please start the process of online registration by clicking on the link below and filling out an intake form. The intake form as well as information on registration can be found on the district website here .

As a reminder, this year Green Team is a free activity that happens monthly. Its a great way to spend some family time at a fun activity at Anderson. This program does depend on donations, so if you are able to make a small donation to continue the events, it would greatly be appreciated! Donations can be made via pushcoin.
