Posted on February 11, 2014 by royfmc

Schiller Park School District 81’s Washington School students are putting on the musical “Annie” on Thursday, February 13, 2014, at 6:30 pm in the Little Theater at Lincoln Middle School at 9640 Soreng Avenue. The 4th and 5th grade students as well as staff have worked very hard in putting this production together.

Everyone should plan on reserving their evening on Thursday to come out and support the children’s performance. This has become quite an tradition for the Washington School students to perform in their annual musical show.

It is great to see the wonderful talent and opportunities for all of the children of the District through the numerous productions and performances that the Schiller Park School District Board of Education and Administration support.

A special thank you needs to go to the District 81 staff for the countless hours that they annually invest in the development and education of the children in these numerous opportunities.

Schiller Park School District 81 Updates School Calendar

Posted on February 11, 2014 by royfmc

Schiller Park School District 81 has issued an update for everyone regarding changes in the school calendar for 2013-2014. This is the release as follows and can be found at http://us7.campaign-archive2.com/?u=19a6d8933497b90f5013be0fb&id=560cddc7be :

As of today, District 81 has used 4 out of 5 emergency days that the Illinois State Board of Education requires to be scheduled into the school calendar. If no other emergency days are used this year, the last day of school will be Thursday, May 29th. If one more emergency day is used, we will have used our allocation and the last day of school will be Friday, May 30th.

If we go beyond the 5 emergency days, the District will seek approval for so-called “Act of God” days. These days must be approved by both the Cook County Regional Office of Education and State Superintendent of Education. Once approved, these days are not made up and do not negatively impact the General State Aid granted to School District 81. If these days are used due to hazardous and weather-related conditions that are a threat to the health and safety of students, they would in all probability be approved. Since the only reason we cancel school is due to the safety of students, our last day of school, regardless of other cancellations, would be no later than May 30th. It would be safe for School District 81 families to make summer plans after that date.

Please also note that due to using these emergency days, School District 81 will need to change the dates for 8th Grade Graduation, Kindergarten Graduation, and Pre-K Celebration.
