Filed under: General and Misc — nicole at 12:20 pm on Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Dear Parents,

 

I have just learned that the Board of Education has approved our request for this years staggered start dates. This has proven successful in previous years and we are confident that it will do so again. Mrs. Bago and I have called each of our families to notify you, but if we were not able to connect directly with you please read below for your child’s official start date:

                               

3 year olds begin Monday, August 6th5 year olds will begin Thursday, August 9th

4 year olds will start on Monday, August 13th. 

 

This will allow our 3’s a few full days to get acclimated before the 5’s come in in their leadership role with the 4’s arriving the following Monday to create the full classroom environment. Please keep in mind that all of these are full days starting at 9am and ending at 2:45. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

 

Sincerely,

Mark Neidlinger,

Director

LSC Principal Selection News

Filed under: General and Misc — Sabrina Craig at 3:04 pm on Tuesday, July 3, 2007

Happy Summer! The LSC and school volunteers have been working hard to find our next Principal, and here’s the latest update:

- Nearly 50 applications were submitted, and 12 made the first cut. After careful review, 7 outstanding applicants were invited for 1-hour interviews last week. Thanks to everyone who gave tours to the interviewees and demonstrated our school’s hospitality and community involvement!

- The LSC selected the top 3 candidates as our finalists. Each has a strong background in school leadership and brings valuable experiences and a lot of enthusiasm to the position. The finalists are: Mary Cavey (currently Interim Principal at LeMoyne), Susan Kilbane (currently Assistant Principal at Whittier), and Mark Neidlinger (currently Montessori Director at Drummond).

- You are invited to meet the finalists, ask them your questions, and share your impressions with the LSC at the PUBLIC FORUM on MON, JULY 16 from 5-8pm at HOLSTEIN PARK (2200 N. Oakley). This is your opportunity to participate directly in the
Principal Selection process - the LSC needs to hear from YOU!

Looking forward to seeing you on July 16,

Sabrina

Another fun event tomorrow!

For over a decade Chic-A-Go-Go has been throwing fabulous cable-access dance

projects for kids, and there’s lots of other wacky performers and nutty stuff
going on in that area. Plus, mosey on over to Taste of Chicago and get many
kinds of food on sticks - it’s a magical day downtown!
