Strategic Plan Priorities - Strive for Excellence
Since CCSD46 has completed an initial strategic planning process, several specific ideas have been identified as areas to improve the district. While each are wonderful programs/projects, we are asking the community as well as D46 staff to take a moment and rank the initiatives you would like to see implemented.

This short, 4-question survey will help us determine which initiatives you feel achieve the mission and vision of D46. Please visit the Strategic Plan Priorities Survey. Deadline to participate is March 9, 2015.

AJ Peterson - CCSD 46 Second Grade Student
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of second grader Adrian Peterson, Jr., who attended Park Campus school this year, and Avon School the previous two years. Adrian, better known as AJ to all of us, had been battling a rare brain tumor known as DIPG.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Peterson family during this incredibly sad time.

Counselors are available at both Park Campus and Avon School to provide continued support for the family, our students, as well as the entire community.

PARCC Assessment Information
In March 2015, CCSD 46 will be administering the online performance-based Partnership for the Assessment of College and Careers (PARCC Assessment). PARCC has been designed to replace the ISAT, and to assess student knowledge and understanding of the New Illinois Learning Standards. To help better inform parents and the community about the PARCC Assessment, we will be holding a Parent Forum before the Board of Education meeting on Wednesday, February 18 at Avon School from 5:30-6:15PM. Please join us for a more in depth look at this assessment. Please download the Parent Letter for more information. (Parent Letter - Espanol)
