Community Unit School District 200 is dedicated to fostering a well-rounded educational experience for every student, and at the heart of this mission lies our comprehensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Framework. This framework is built on five key pillars: relationships, behavioral wellness, emotional wellness, learning, and mindset. These pillars guide our efforts to enhance student learning, enrich the overall school experience, and address the emotional and social needs of all learners.
As part of our steadfast commitment to SEL, we have launched a special SEL website (https://bit.ly/4a997qY) designed to serve as a hub of resources and information. This user-friendly platform provides an in-depth look at our comprehensive SEL approach and details the programming we’ve implemented under each of the five pillars.
We encourage families, staff, and community members to explore this valuable resource and learn more about how SEL is shaping the success and well-being of our students. Together, we can continue to build a supportive and nurturing environment where every student can thrive. #YourCommunitySchools

Students at the Transition Program work on their vocational skills each week. Part of this work includes creating items for the school store and pop up shops within the district.
Last week, they visited the School Service Center. Students greeted their customers, helped show off the items they made, worked on their money skills by calculating totals and change, and wished their customers a great day.
Look for future Pop-up Shops on the CUSD 200 Transition Center Facebook page. #YourCommunitySchools

With the winter months upon us, CUSD 200 wants to take this opportunity to remind families about our protocol for inclement weather. Staff, students, families, and community members will be notified of any changes to the school day (e.g., delayed start, E-Learning day, early dismissal) via email, text, phone call, CUSD 200 social media, and website alerts.
We encourage all stakeholders to confirm that their contact information is accurate in our information systems—ParentVue (for parents) and iVisions (for staff). Having correct information in these systems ensures you receive the most up-to-date notifications from the district on inclement weather days.
In the event CUSD 200 calls an E-Learning Day due to inclement weather, students in grades 1-12 will follow the E-Learning schedule, that can be viewed by visiting https://bit.ly/4f8r7mb. This plan outlines the schedule and expectations for remote learning should there be a need to close schools due to extreme weather conditions. On E-Learning days, instruction begins online for students at 9:00 a.m. All students should log in to Google Classroom to access assignments and the Meets link. Kindergarten and early childhood students will follow the plan communicated by their teacher.
Thank you for your attention to these important updates. By working together, we can ensure a smooth and safe experience for our students and families during the winter season. If you have any questions about our inclement weather protocols or E-Learning plans, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s school or the district office. #YourCommunitySchools

A special Thanksgiving message from Superintendent Dr. Jeff Schuler:
As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to share a heartwarming experience I had last week that truly embodies the spirit of gratitude. I had the privilege of visiting Mr. Ellison’s third-grade class at Lincoln Elementary School for a special Thanksgiving-themed activity. The students were asked to write down things they were thankful for on a “coffee cup” cutout and then bring their creativity to life by coloring it in.
What made this activity so meaningful wasn’t just the colorful coffee cups—it was the thoughtful and heartfelt reflections shared by the students. After completing their designs, many eagerly stood up to share their lists with the class. Their expressions of gratitude included things we can all relate to—family, a warm home, food, pets, faith, and school—as well as some unique and personal touches, like dirt bikes, Taylor Swift, video games, upcoming birthdays, and favorite hobbies.
As I walked around the classroom, listening to their thoughtful and enthusiastic answers, I was reminded of the beauty in pausing to appreciate what fills our cups with gratitude. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of daily life, especially during the holiday season, but moments like these encourage us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters.
So, as you pour yourself a cup of coffee during the Thanksgiving break, I encourage you to think about what fills your cup with gratitude. In our fast-paced lives, it’s important to take a step back and appreciate the many blessings that make our lives full.
On behalf of the entire CUSD 200 family, I wish you a joyful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, laughter, and cherished moments. May you take this opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy meaningful time with your loved ones.
