As we remember the lives lost and honor the extraordinary courage and sacrifice displayed that day, District 20 will lower the flag at the District Office to half-staff in remembrance. Across our schools, students and staff will also take time to commemorate the occasion with a special announcement, a moment of silence, and a tribute to the first responders who answered the call and continue to serve our communities today.  Together, we pause to reflect on the values of unity, resilience, service, and remembrance that remain as important today as they were 25 years ago.

    🔔Weekly Announcements September 2, 2026   🔔Announcements 📊Understanding Benchmark Assessments: What Families Need to Know All K-8 students participate in benchmark assessments three times each school year. These assessments provide valuable information about how students are performing in English language arts and mathematics compared with grade-level peers nationwide. Kindergarten and first-grade students are assessed in early literacy and foundational math skills, such as letter recognition, letter sounds, and number identification. Students in grades 2-8 are assessed on reading comprehension and grade-level math skills. The data collected from these assessments helps teachers identify student strengths and areas for growth, adjust instruction to meet individual learning needs, and monitor progress toward grade-level expectations. Benchmark assessment results also help ensure students are prepared for state assessments. 📝Student results will be shared with families during parent-teacher conferences (October 29-30) and included with first-trimester report cards (November 13).

If your registration is delayed due to special circumstances, including IEP-related matters, please contact your school's administration as soon as possible to determine an appropriate start date and coordinate plans with sibling schools, if applicable.  For families who have not yet completed registration, we encourage you to attend our  Registration Night  on Thursday, August 6, between 4:00 and 7:00 PM in the Spring Wood Middle School Commons.
