Fall 2021 Details:

Update: Viking is starting to call people as their uniform orders are ready. Please wait for them to contact you if you filled out this Google form, as we don't want to overwhelm them with people before they have everything together!

More details: Plans are for students to change into uniforms for PE starting September 7 (the Tuesday after Labor Day.) Uniforms can be purchased at Viking Awards in downtown Elmhurst. Parents should reserve their sizes using this Google form and Viking will notify you when your uniforms are ready for pickup. At this time, we are asking parents to order 1 uniform per student until we are sure every student has at least 1 PE uniform. After that, you are welcome to order a 2nd uniform if you would like. Please fill out one form per child; payment is not due until you pick up. See this flyer for all of the details.

Science Olympiad for 2021-22

Illinois Science Olympiad is a non-profit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science, and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. ISO accomplishes its goals through classroom activities, research, training workshops and the encouragement of intramural, district, regional, state and national tournaments. ISO tournaments are rigorous academic interscholastic competitions that consist of a series of team events, which students prepare for during the year. These challenging and motivational events are well balanced between the various science disciplines. There is also a balance between events requiring knowledge of science concepts, process skills and science applications.

ISO has divided the state into ten regional competition sites.  Each site hosts both middle school and high school competitions on the same day that run simultaneously. Approximately 24 schools send their team(s) to a local site to compete in these events on a Saturday in February or March. Each event is evaluated according to the scoring criteria that is published in the coaches' manual. The top students in each event receive medals according to their rank. The scores of the team in each event are then combined for an overall score for the team. At the end of the day, the top percentage of the teams then advance to the State Tournament. The scenario begins again there and the top teams advance to the national competition.
