Dear Schiesher Families:

It has been a productive year here at Schiesher with the implementation of our first School Improvement Plan. The plan outlines four goal areas along with a developed strategic plan for reading and mathematics, social emotional learning, communication to families, and fiscal responsibility. While the complete document can be found at lisle202.org, the highlights of the four goals are:

Academic -
    Continued improvement of reading instruction and our intervention      program to meet the needs of all learners.
    Additional focus on stronger implementation of our new math program and standards based instruction.

Social Emotional Learning-
    The Character Counts philosophy has been expanded with a school wide focus and the addition of the Paws Laws (Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Ready) framework.
    A review team was formed to begin preparation for a revised discipline policy outlining greater expectations for behavior and citizenship for next year.

Communication -
    A concerted effort has been given to highlight and celebrate the fantastic educational opportunities and programs being provided to your children through local media and internet resources.

Financial -
    The school wide recycling program has been expanded with a specific focus on the lunchroom.
    Implementation of the “paperless” or virtual backpack option for school news and communication.

Schiesher School will conduct a formal review of our School Improvement Plan in the fall with a complete evaluation and updated goals for the 2010-2011 school year.

On behalf of the Schiesher staff, I want to thank you for the opportunity to work with your child during this school year. I often wish that each and every parent could witness the skill, dedication, and compassion that the teachers exhibit on a daily basis. I assure you that your children are receiving a quality education and I am proud to work with such an outstanding staff.

In closing, I would like to thank all of you for your support. By working together, for the children, I truly believe that your experience with Schiesher School has provided your child with an education that is worthy of your love and concern for them. As always, if there is anything we can do to help you please do not hesitate to call.

Have a happy and safe summer -

Dr. Linda Kotalik
