Sandburg News

Welcome to 2020. People in education get two opportunities to celebrate the “New Year,” so why not take advantage of it?!

Just prior to the break, District 205 learned that the Illinois Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development has recognized the District as the state’s Exemplary District for Whole Child education for providing Healthy, Safe, Engaged, Supported and Challenged learning environments for students. 

The statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey is now open for parents to share thoughts about your experiences with our school. This survey provides critical input to help develop school improvement plans. The survey takes about 10 minutes.Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child. 

Parents and guardians of middle school students can sign up for Parent-Teacher conferences starting this Thursday, October 10th, at 6 AM. Sign up will be through PowerPTC and will be open until Tuesday, October 15th at 11:59 PM.

Congratulations to Sandburg Middle School’s Jennifer Leban on being named a 2020 Illinois Teacher of the Year finalist.

On September 3 and September 5, 2019, Elmhurst District 205 hosted three informational meetings about the upcoming integration of all-day kindergarten.
