Welcome to School District 100
It is a pleasure to
welcome you to the District 100 web site. During the year, this
web site will contain information about various aspects of the
school district. The Board of Education and district staff are
committed to providing the children of Berwyn with a quality
education.The district staff members are available to provide
assistance and answer questions, and we encourage parents and
community members to contact school personnel whenever
necessary. The addresses and telephone numbers of the
schools
and the
administration center are available in this web site. About the District
School District 100 serves the community of South Berwyn, which is
located approximately 15 miles west of the city of Chicago. On a clear
day, you can see the Chicago skyscrapers looming in the sky just east of
Berwyn. The school district has six elementary schools (K-5) and 2
middle schools (6-8), and the student population continues to increase.
The
curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all students. Some
programs address the needs of the gifted student population while other
programs focus on at-risk and special needs students. Some student’s
needs are addressed by reading, Title 1, and bilingual teachers who are
located in each school.
Student test scores continue to improve, and, this year, additional
reading teachers have been hired to work with students and provide extra
help with reading skills. After school, students have many
opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities such as, but
not limited to, sports programs, academic competitions, and fine art
activities.
Our Parents and the Community
Parents and community members are a valuable part of the educational
process. One of the major links between parents and the schools is the
Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Through various fundraising
activities, the PTA actively supports programs for the children in
District 100. We view parents and community volunteers as assets to
District 100 and welcome them into the schools.
Be a School Volunteer or Partner
We encourage individuals to volunteer in our schools and businesses
to become partners with our schools. It is easy to become involved
with the schools in District 100. It is as easy as calling the school
of your choice and offering your assistance. Please think about sharing
your expertise and call a school today.
We welcome individuals and businesses to join us in helping the
children of the Berwyn community. A business may adopt a school and
work closely with the staff and students during the year. Ideas for
school and business partnerships are endless. Just call a school and
explore the volunteer and partnership possibilities. With the help of
individual volunteers and business partners, the District 100 students
will benefit. |
