District 105 Announcements
Attention parents of students enrolled in the Summer Reading and Math CONNECT Program:
On May 21st at 6:00pm in the Spring Avenue library, there will be a brief introduction/training on use of the new IXL Math Program which your children will be using this summer in the CONNECT program. There will be an opportunity for you to learn what the program has to offer, how you can help your child in using it this summer, and time to try out the program yourself for a few minutes. Your children do not need to attend this session as there will be time provided for CONNECT students to explore the program before the end of the school year.
