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. Atentamente, Dra. Lynn Glickman Superintendente CCSD 46

Frederick School PTO email: FrederickFalconPTO@gmail.com 2020 chair email: GwenMNelson@yahoo.comFebruary 2020 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 Assistant Superintendent Coordinator Teaching, Learning and Assessment Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Febrero 2020 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 Superintendente adjunto Coordinadora Enseñanza, aprendizaje y evaluación Enseñanza, aprendizaje y evaluación
