Independence Highway

Independence Highway is a program designed by the Society for the Preservation of Human Dignity. The program provides parents and teens the opportunity to discuss topics including healthy sexuality and relationships both together and with their peers, in a facilitated learning environment.

Students from all district 15 junior high schools are invited to attend any of the sessions listed above. Please RSVP at least five days prior to the program date to Linda Millar, NWSC Health and Safety Chair, at linmillar@comcast.net.

For more information check out the Independence Highway flyer and visit www.sphd.org.

In order to accommodate this terrific program we have cancelled the Parent Ed Workshop on Tuesday, February 23.

Winter weather is here~Time to review school closing procedures

Generally speaking, District 15 schools will remain open except for instances of extremely inclement weather.

If a snow day is called, that decision will be made by 5am. Shortly afterward, an announcement will be posted on the homepage of the District's Web site, sent to radio and TV stations, and made via D15 E-news e-mails and SchoolMessenger emergency notification system phone calls. A recorded message will also be available at the District's main number, 847-963-3000.

These announcements will only be made if classes are canceled. Otherwise, the day will proceed as usual.

Daily Announcement Podcasts

We have started to podcast our WRS UpClose and UpDate broadcasts. As soon as a broadcast finishes one of the anchors re-reads the entire script in the Studio's Control Room while being digitally video recorded with one camera. It's a simple effort but has a sort of newsy feel. Sundling is the first school in our district to podcast both the morning and afternoon broadcasts and next week we will really take things to another level! The link for the podcasts is:

WRS UpClose podcasts will be posted by 9:00 each morning. WRS UpDate podcast will be posted by 2:00 each afternoon. The Daily Herald is planning to do a big story on the kids' effort within the next couple of weeks. We are breaking new ground!
