🎉 Whittier’s Playground is Officially Open! 🎉
Yesterday, our Whittier community came together to cut the ribbon on the brand-new playground! The celebration was part of our Back-to-School Picnic and Corn Hole Tournament, making it the perfect way to kick off the school year.
Today, Wheaton Police Officer Berlin—familiar to many students from DARE—was at Whittier Elementary filming short safety videos about bus and pedestrian safety. These reminders help keep our students safe as they travel to and from school. Thank you Wheaton Police for all you do for our community! 💙👮♂️ #YourCommunitySchools

Superintendent Dr. Jeff Schuler set the tone: “I want you to jump right in on the first day. You matter. Your impact matters.”
School Board Vice President Julie Kulovits, Edison Teacher Heather Gordon, and two inspiring students, Emily Fahrman (Wheaton Warrenville South) and Gavin Arena (Wheaton North), shared heartfelt stories about teachers who sparked their love of learning and became their biggest cheerleaders.
“You see the impact you have,” said Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Matt Biscan.
We’re beyond excited to bring you Week 7 of full-speed developments at Franklin and Monroe Middle Schools! 🚧
🎥 Check out the latest video update for a look at:
Steady progress on the front entrance at Franklin
Demolition of west side of building completed at Franklin
New flooring in 7-8th grade wing at Monroe, and beginning installation of frames of skylights in 15 classroom at Monroe (Final installation of the actual skylights won’t be completed until late fall due to manufacturing delays)

For the 3rd consecutive year, CUSD 200 PACE teachers offered a bridge program for rising 5th-grade students new to PACE math. Students worked hard to complete a year’s worth of math in six weeks - especially over break. Thanks to PACE Teachers Sara Garner and Taylor Wilson for supporting the students over the summer as they enter PACE Math! #YourCommunitySchools
