Euclid Elementary School

As we enter the winter months, River Trails School District 26 would like to update you on some of the factors that contribute to closing school in the event of a weather-related closing and when you can expect to be notified.

Euclid has a volunteer program aimed at getting father figures more involved in their children’s schools. The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) program has been a huge success! Fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, older brothers, cousins, mothers, and other important role models volunteer in Euclid classrooms for a half day at a time. They help students read, write and do mathematics. They spend recess and lunch with the students. Most importantly, they send the message that they think that school is important - important enough to spend their own valuable time at Euclid themselves. The response to the Watch DOGS program has been fantastic. More and more people keep hearing about it and are stepping forward to be involved. If you have any questions about the Watch D.O.G.S. program, please contact Ms. Ceisel at jceisel@rtsd26.org or 847-973-6396.

On January 24, 2013, Governor Pat Quinn signed a new law extending sexual abuse education in Illinois schools. The Illinois law went into effect immediately and schools are required to implement Erin’s Law during the 2014-2015 school year.

If you are concerned that your child has a delay in vision, hearing, motor, speech, language, cognition and/or social functioning, call 224- 612-7308 to set up a screening time.

One of the goals in the District’s Strategic Plan is to connect more regularly with the surrounding businesses and community groups which are part of River Trails School District. A Public Relations committee was formed to write action steps to accomplish this goal.

River Trails School District 26 has launched an exciting new community engagement process called Future Trails. See this website for more information https://sites.google.com/rtsd26.net/futuretrails
