It is hard to believe another school year is almost complete.  We have much to be proud of this school year and as we begin to prepare for next year, your input is important to our planning process. 

 

Palos 118 teams all excelled in the South Cook Math Bowl and Newbery Bowl reading competitions. Our district was also well-represented at TECH 2015 in Springfield and the Students Involved with Technology (SIT) Conference.  We also have watched with pride as our students displayed their talent at numerous spelling bees, young authors writing contests, and received awards at South's Honors Assembly.

 

As Superintendent, I'm always looking for ways to solicit parent and community feedback on our performance.  To that end, we have created a digital suggestion box which can be found on our school district's homepage.  If you have suggestions for improving our programs or operations, I encourage you to use our new digital suggestion box and provide us with your thoughts as we prepare for next school year.

 

Later in June, you will receive a copy of our annual report.  This year, we are focusing on the relationship between strong schools and strong communities.  We are fortunate to have an engaged and supportive community.  As we prepare for next school year, we will be looking for even more ways to strengthen our relationship with the Palos community.  If you have ideas or suggestions for doing so, please consider sharing them with us using our new digital suggestion box.

 

As I reflect upon my first year as superintendent, I couldn't be more proud of our students, staff, administrators, parents, community and school board.  Our shared vision for educational excellence will continue to propel our school district forward as we continue to work together to make Palos 118 a great place to learn and a great place to work.

 

I look forward to see you at our last few school events as May comes to a close.

 

Warmest regards,

 

Anthony M. Scarsella,

Superintendent of Schools
