Mrs. Kovarik has 3rd grade Growth Mindset Club up and running again this winter. Students play a variety of games that require planning, strategy, and critical thinking, and they reflect on building a growth mindset when facing challenges. Thanks to Student Excellence Foundation for Wheaton-Warrenville District 200 for providing initial funding for the materials. Thanks also to Washington PTA for their ongoing support so that additional games can be purchased. We have so many students participating, that this club meets in two separate groups! Thank you, Mrs. Kovarik! #YourCommunitySchools

Due to the freezing rain and icy road conditions, especially on side streets and untreated surfaces, all District 200 schools will engage in an e-learning day today, Jan. 23. Students in grades 1-12 will follow the e-learning schedule that can be found here. All students should login to Google Classroom by 9 a.m. to receive assignments and Google Meets links. Kindergarten and early childhood students should follow the plan that has been communicated by their teacher. Coaches and/or sponsors communicate the status of any after school or evening activities with families later today. Barring any additional travel challenges or inclement weather, school will be back in session on Wednesday, Jan. 24. With that said, we encourage you to continue monitoring e-mail, social media and the district’s family of websites for updates about the weather and its impact on our operations. We recognize that this month has brought a number of severe weather events that have forced us to engage in e-learning, which creates additional challenges for our parents/guardians, students and staff. Your understanding, cooperation and resilience are greatly appreciated as we navigate these challenges together. Please reach out to your child’s teacher(s) with any questions. Sincerely, Dr. Jeff Schuler Superintendent of Schools Community Unit School District 200
