Specialist Services
Each school has specialists who focus on gifted services, math and literacy. These professionals work with teachers and pupils to assess and meet a continuum of needs to help each child succeed.
Special Education
D41 provides a free and appropriate education to students
with special needs in full compliance the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). D41 belongs
to the Cooperative Association for Special Education
(CASE); member districts work together to provide a
complete continuum of services and D41 may accept children
from other districts or place children in other districts.
A few children are placed in private schools at D41’s
expense, if that is the only way to meet their needs.
A parent group called Special Education Resource Committee
(SERC) offers programs and networking for parents. Our
buildings comply with the Americans with Disabilities
Act.
Before & after school programs
D41 partners with both the Glen Ellyn Park District
and the YMCA to make before- and after-school care available
on a fee basis. Contact the building principal for information
on a specific school.
Lunch
At all elementary schools except Churchill, students
may bring lunch (milk provided), or go home. Since nearly
all Churchill students are bused, they remain at school
for lunch. There is no hot lunch service. For student
safety, we ask that you plan ahead and let the school
know whether your child will be going home for lunch.
At Hadley, all students eat lunch at school in the cafeteria.
Students may bring a sac lunch or purchase lunch; the
menu is on the Hadley Web site.
Getting to school
If possible, parents are encouraged to establish safe
walking procedures with their child, or walk with them.
Children who live 1.5 miles or further, or who would
encounter a hazard such as a highway or railroad crossing,
are eligible for free bus transportation. |
