Coronavirus Communication

As you may have heard, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued a warning that incidences
of coronavirus (COVID-19) might increase in the coming days and weeks. Although there is no
immediate threat, we understand that schools and families should be prepared in case schools
need to close due to the spread of the virus.

We are in the process of discussing our procedures and developing our plans if schools have to
close for a period of time. We expect that the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), the CDC,
and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) will have guidance, and we will keep you
updated.

In the meantime, we are sharing pertinent information on our website
(http://www.d46.org/health/covid19.asp), including information about Influenza A and Influenza
B, and we will alert you as more information is provided. As always, the health and safety of our
students, staff, and community is of utmost importance to our school district.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lynn Glickman
Superintendent
CCSD 46

Como sabrán, el Centro para el control y prevención de enfermedades (CDC) emitió una
advertencia de que los casos del coronavirus (COVID-19) podrían aumentar en los próximos
días. A pesar de que no existe ninguna amenaza inmediata, sabemos que tanto las escuelas
como las familias deben estar preparadas en caso de que las escuelas deban clausurar clases
para evitar el contagio del virus.

Estamos en el proceso de discutir los procesos necesarios y desarrollar nuestros planes en caso
de que nuestras escuelas tengan que cerrar por un período determinado de tiempo. Esperamos
recibir asesoramiento de parte de la Junta educativa del estado de Illinois (ISBE), el centro CDC
y el departamento de salud pública de Illinois (IDPH) y los mantendremos informados.

Por el momento, compartiremos información importante en nuestro sitio WEB
(http://www.d46.org/health/covid19.asp), incluyendo información sobre el virus Influenza A e
Influenza B y los mantendremos informados de cualquier información nueva que recibamos.
Como siempre, la salud y seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, nuestro personal y la comunidad
es de suma importancia para nuestro distrito escolar.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Students in grades 5 and 8 will begin taking the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) March 2nd
and will complete them by March 19, 2020. The ISA aligns with our new ​Illinois Learning
Standards​ in science. This assessment helps families understand how well students are
performing academically and see whether they are on track to succeed in college. The ISA
represents Illinois’ commitment to preparing all students for college and careers, including in the
high-demand science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The assessment
also satisfies federal accountability requirements.

The ISA is designed to reflect classroom experiences. Many students who took the assessment
last year said the ISA seemed more like instruction than a test. Students do not simply select an
answer and fill in the bubble of a multiple-choice test. Rather, the ISA pushes students to apply
their knowledge when they give answers, thus better preparing them for higher education and a
career. All students deserve the opportunity to demonstrate what they know; they get to see how
knowledge is applied to real-life situations.

The ISA has three sections and is untimed. The average student time-on-task is estimated at 120
minutes for the three sections. The results provide administrators with important data to help
them make broad curriculum decisions at the school and district levels. But classroom educators
will not use the results to make teaching adjustments year-to-year for individual students.

We encourage you to talk with your children about the importance of doing their best on the ISA,
while communicating that the assessment yields only one piece of information about them and
their school’s progress. Students’ attendance, classroom work, homework, projects, performance
on local tests, participation in sports and extracurricular activities, and contributions to the
school’s climate and culture all help them grow and learn.

We all work together to ensure Illinois students build a cohesive understanding of science over
time.​ ​Thank you for your role in developing lifelong learners and successful citizens.

Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or building principal if you have any
additional questions.

Sincerely,

 Paul Louis                                   Amanda Woodruff

Estimados padres y tutores legales,

Los estudiantes de 5to y 8vo grados comenzarán a tomar la evaluación de ciencias de Illinois
(ISA, por sus siglas en inglés) a partir del 2 de marzo hasta a más tardar el 19 de marzo, 2020. La
evaluación ISA se alinea con nuestros nuevos estándares de aprendizaje de Illinois en ciencias.
Esta evaluación ayuda a las familias a comprender qué tan bien los estudiantes se están
desempeñando académicamente y ver si están en camino de tener éxito en la universidad. La
evaluación ISA representa el compromiso de Illinois de preparar a todos los estudiantes para la
universidad y distintas carreras, incluso en los campos de alta demanda de ciencia, tecnología,
ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM). La evaluación también satisface los requisitos federales de
responsabilidad.

La evaluación ISA está diseñada para reflejar las experiencias que viven los estudiantes en el
salón de clase. Muchos estudiantes que tomaron la evaluación el año pasado afirmaron que ISA
parecía más una lección que un examen. Los estudiantes no simplemente seleccionan una
respuesta y completan la burbuja de opción múltiple. Más bien, la evaluación ISA impulsa a los
estudiantes a aplicar sus conocimientos al dar las respuestas, preparándolos así mejor para la
educación superior y otras carreras. Todos los estudiantes merecen la oportunidad de demostrar
lo que saben; de esta manera pueden observar cómo pueden aplicar su conocimiento a
situaciones de la vida real.

La evaluación ISA consta de tres secciones y no tiene tiempo determinado. El tiempo promedio
de trabajo del alumno se estima en 120 minutos para las tres secciones. Los resultados
proporcionan a los administradores datos importantes para ayudarlos a tomar decisiones
curriculares amplias a nivel escolar y del distrito. Pero los educadores del salón no utilizarán los
resultados para hacer ajustes en la instrucción año tras año para ciertos estudiantes.

Deseamos que hablen con sus hijos sobre la importancia de dar lo mejor de sí en la evaluación
ISA, y al mismo tiempo que les informen que esta evaluación sólo proporciona una clase de
información sobre ellos y su progreso académico. La asistencia de los estudiantes a clases, el
trabajo en el aula, las tareas, los proyectos, el desempeño en los exámenes, la participación en
deportes y actividades extracurriculares y las contribuciones al entorno y la cultura de la escuela,
los ayudan a crecer y aprender.

Todos trabajamos juntos para asegurar que los estudiantes de Illinois desarrollen una
comprensión coherente de la ciencia a través del tiempo. Gracias por su colaboración en el
desarrollo de estudiantes de por vida y ciudadanos exitosos.

No dude en comunicarse con el maestro de su hijo(a) o el director de la escuela si tiene más
preguntas.

Atentamente,

Paul Louis                                    Amanda Woodruff

The Foundation​46​ board of directors is honored to have been selected by the Oasis board to receive a
$2,500 grant to support District 46 music programming. Music teachers and/or directors are invited to
submit grant applications by April 1 proposing how these funds would best be used. Funds will be
awarded in May and presented in honor of Greg Henkin at District 46’s opening day in August. Greg
Henkin is a Grayslake Central High School alumnus and local guitar teacher. Over the years, Greg
volunteered for the Oasis board and coordinated concerts and music initiatives at the Oasis Youth
Center. We are so pleased to take part in honoring such a valuable member of our community.

                                    Keep Foundation​46 ​Strong!
Foundation​46​ needs you! Our team works together to raise funds so we can award grants to our most
innovative and dedicated teachers. We've had an increase in the volume of grant applications received,
which means we need to step up our game with your help. We plan events, promote community
awareness of the Foundation, encourage donations from businesses both big and small, and review and
approve grant applications from District 46 staff. Email us at ​foundation46board@gmail.com​ ​to talk with
one of our members to learn more. It doesn’t take a lot of work from any one person if we have many
people who each help a little!
Here’s a snapshot of our most crucial volunteer needs at this time:
Community Awareness - Volunteer for one or more of the following:
  ● Keep the foundation visible in social media.
  ● Organize content for quarterly newsletters and school newsletters.

Staff Grants - Volunteer for one or more of the following:
   ● Review grant applications with the committee to make recommendations to the Board of Directors.
   ● Summarize grant awards for our newsletter, facebook page, and our website.
