Comment on First look at Summer School 2013 by ddschools

This is purely driven by space needs in our buildings used for Summer School. In the last two years, we’ve had between 500-600 students, Kindergarten through Grade 5, participate in Summer School. This makes Turtle Creek about full. Due to space and classroom needs, the incoming fifth graders are placed in Phoenix Middle School for summer school. This summer school placement decision is unrelated to the possible changes in school structures being considered for the future.

Why are the students that will be in Grade 5 in the Fall attending Summer School at the Middle School? I didn’t think that any decisions on the proposed school changes had been made.

Comment on Understanding the subject with a subject to study by Dion Wisniewski

I had Ms. Quartucci for AP Psych when I was in high school almost 10 years ago. She always had inventive ways to keep class interesting. The most memorable for me was our final exam where we watched the movie “Patch Adams” and had to find clips that corresponded to different units we learns throughout the year.

Wondering if there is a survey that will be send out as was for the 4k program changes? Some parents cannot make it to these meetings and would prefer to send in their response or thoughts electronically. Thanks!

Comment on State report cards give overview of how Delavan-Darien schools are doing by rachel

rachel — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:16:46 +0000

I appreciate the update and hope that all our teachers and educators, parents, and children realize this is just one small part of assessing our schools. This is based on a few criteria and a standardized test. There is so much more to effective schools than results of standardized tests. Lets not forget the strong art, music and sports programs that enrich our children and develop them into productive and creative citizens. And lets not forget the supportive advisers, counselors, coaches, teachers and support staff who make our schools safe and nurturing places for our children to learn and excel. We have so much to be grateful for and are moving towards our goals to provide an education for all our children in a safe and friendly environment.
