For all students going into 1st and 2nd grade

1_2 Summer Challenge

Our summer book challenge promotes daily reading as a way to prevent the “summer slide.” Students who complete the challenge will be rewarded when we come back to school!

Directions: Each square requires 20 minutes of reading, and only one square may be completed per day. The goal is to read over the entire summer, so completing 2-3 squares per week is recommended. Record the requested information about each square on the back of the sheet. Have fun and happy reading!

For students going into grades 3-6

Schaumburg Township District Pop-Up Library is coming to
Aldrin Elementary School
Mondays, 6/17, 7/1, 7/15, 7/29
11:15 a.m. – Noon

We’re hitting the road and bringing the Library to you!

What’s the Pop-Up Library? Children’s books, activities, games, crafts and more – all right at your door.

Why is it coming here? We know it’s not easy for everyone to come to one of our three locations, so we’re bringing the Library to you – along with plenty of books, learning and fun!

Can I check out the books? Of course! You don’t even need a Library card. Return the books at the Pop-Up Library’s next visit, or at any Schaumburg Township District Library location. There are no late fees – just bring the books back when you can.

For more information about the Pop-Up Library,
please contact Chris Murray at cmurray@nullstdl.org or (847) 923-3430.

Aldrin Flyer – Pop Up Van

The Aldrin staff would like to invite families to join us in supporting the Kenneth Young Center with a fundraiser the week of April 22^nd-26^th in recognition of the assistance that they provide to our students.  The Kenneth Young Center is a non- profit agency located in Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, and Mount Prospect that provides services including counseling, assessment, and support groups to community members.  Throughout the years, this agency has helped many of our Aldrin families.  As a result, our school is looking to give back in appreciation.

If you would like to join us in supporting the Kenneth Young Center during April 22-26, please send one of the following to school with your child:

• A check written to Aldrin Elementary School or
• Cash in an envelope marked Kenneth Young Center

We will combine all checks and cash received into a single check for donation to the Kenneth Young Center.

Due to the number of severe weather days when school was cancelled this year, the District 54 School Board officially set June 6, 2019 as the last day of school. This will be a half-day of school to make up for the half-day missed when school was cancelled Jan. 30. With that said, our students will be dismissed for the summer at 11:40 a.m. on June 6, 2019.

This weekend you received a letter from us asking for your help.  We are hoping to have every family write a quick note to each of their children letting them know how proud you are of them for their hard work and dedication this school year. Once you are done with the letter, we ask that you send it to school in a sealed envelope so we can deliver them all on the same day.  If you have any questions or you need a new notecard, please give our offices a call at 847-357-5400.

Be sure to click here to read the most to up to date news from the Aldrin.

By now, you have received information regarding registration for the upcoming school year.  If you have provided us with an email, it was emailed to you.  Otherwise, you received a letter in the mail.  If you have not already done so, please visit the parent portal to register your child/children by May 6^th.  For additional information, please visit https://sd54.org/resources/registration/
