Read how we assess our students throughout our district in this Assessment Letter.

Give students responsibilities

Teaching young ones about what it takes to manage a home is an important part of maturing. Have your little ones help clean up after dinner, put dishes in the dishwasher, sort laundry, charge their iPads and complete other age-appropriate chores.

We make it easy for you to discuss respect at home. Just print the following document to support conversations at home about respect.

I hope everyone is having a great start to the school year. Just a friendly reminder - I'm at Sunny Hill on Wednesdays. If you'd like to schedule an in-person meeting, please call 847-842-3565.

Your participation is crucial to your student's success.

Below are some examples of how I can support you, including, but not limited to:

- One-on-one assistance navigating district platforms, apps, etc.;

- Connecting you with community resources;

- Discussing how you can be more involved in your child's education and much more!

Sincerely,

Ruth Estrada

Schools are required by law to make and follow accommodations when a doctor diagnosis a student. These tests can be expensive. However FREE neuropsychological evaluations are available for students who need it, live in Kane County, and are income eligible. Neuropsychological evaluations can cost families thousands of dollars. These evaluations can provide valuable insights into a student’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to better support their academic and personal success.
