Last week school report cards were posted on the Illinois State Board of Education website. Corron earned an Exemplary Summative designation once again this year. This designation applied to all areas that are measured - Proficiency (Math, ELA and Science), Growth (Math and ELA), EL Progress, Attendance and participation in our Climate survey (5Essentials). These designations came as a result of a lot of hard work by our students, staff and families. If you’d like to learn more about how schools are rated, you can visit the ISBE site to learn more about our subgroups and the categories for Corron’s ratings.

Thank you for all that you do to support our students in their success!

Last week, all D303 third graders traveled to Norris Cultural Center at St. Charles East High School to meet author and illustrator Dav Pilkey. The visit was possible through a partnership with Anderson’s Bookshop, and the students and teachers had a great time! They saw him draw different characters, learned about his inspiration for creating his Dog Man and Cat Kid series, and got to hear how Mr. Pilkey thinks of his neurodivergence, specifically his dyslexia and ADHD, as his creative superpower. As a surprise, Mr. Pilkey also gifted each D303 library a $1,000 gift card to Anderson Bookshop’s for new books. It was a truly wonderful experience!

Our Corron Student Leadership is excited to organize a donation drive to support Lazarus House in St. Charles! Lazarus House provides food, shelter, and support to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or hardship right here in our community.

We are asking Corron families to help us spread kindness by donating much-needed supplies! Items that Lazarus House regularly needs include:

• Paper towels and toilet paper

• Disposable plates, bowls, cups, and utensils

• Cleaning supplies such as disinfectant wipes or spray

• Hand soap

• Gift cards to stores such as Walmart, Target, and Meijer

You can learn more about Lazarus House and view its current needs at www.lazarushouse.net. Also, you can find the easy-to-donate Amazon list here.

Donations can be brought to Corron from November 16th through November 20th.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference! Thank you, Corron families, for helping our Student Leadership show what it means to Be Kind and care for our neighbors!

Any concerns or paperwork that needs to be turned into the Health Office can be sent to this updated email address: cor-nurses@d303.org
