Hometown Families:

On behalf of the Hometown staff, we wish each of your a restful spring break next week. We will see everyone back on April 3rd.

We want to thank you all of our families for reaching the goal of 20% for the 5Essentials Survey. We will be able to review the results during the summer.

Our PTA meeting scheduled for April 6th will be moved to Wednesday, April 5th at 6pm. Google Meet will come out closer to the event.

Please turn in the summer school forms for ESY if you have not already done so. If you need a new form, please reach out to your teacher. They are due April 7th.

On Friday March 17, 2023, Hometown students invited a special person to attend school with them. Grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles participated in gym activities, went to encores, played math games and more. Families were able to get a glimpse into the day and a life of a Hometown Hornet. Students in art made heart art while second graders played the math game double it up! In gym, parents played speed stackers and took a step back in time and tried their hands at jump rope. It sure is fun to pretend to be a kid again. It was also a special day celebrating St. Patrick's Day with our special friends. Students in first grade read a St. Patrick's Day Scholastic News and did some Pot of Gold subtraction. Click here for more photos of the fun day! https://twitter.com/D123Hometown

Just a reminder there is no school on April 4th for elections.

Our fifth grade students will begin the Illinois Science Assessment this week. We have one more test to go. I am so proud of how hard our students are working on the questions. The final test will be on Thursday. We ask that the students get extra rest, have a good breakfast, and have charged chromebooks.

If you will have a child that will turn 5 by September 1st, please begin registration for the upcoming school year.

We are at 21% of a response rate. Please take a moment to ensure your voice is part of the process by participating in the survey.
