Miss Pellin's Post
June 2nd – June 6th


I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for making my first year an enjoyable, exciting experience. I will never forget my wonderful first class, each student is very special to me!

The class will take a Chicago Boat Trip on Tuesday, June 3rd! Remember to bring a sack lunch (and an optional $5 for ice cream). We will picnic at Gateway Park, across from Navy Pier or on Navy Pier. Remember to wear appropriate clothing, it can be very cold by the lake.

Center Cass School District #66 is in the process of implementing an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) mandate, Response to Intervention (RTI). RTI is an array of procedures that can be used to determine if and how students respond to specific changes in instruction. RTI provides an improved process and structure for school teams in designing, implementing, and evaluating educational interventions. Please look for the additional information on RTI, which will be included with your child’s end of the year Report Card.
