Central School District 51

Mrs. Wulf released her classroom butterflies yesterday! 🐛 🦋

Kindergarten Screening Update. The Kindergarten Screening, scheduled for May 26th and 27th is cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will reschedule the screening once we learn more about current restrictions being lifted.

Today is National School Principal’s Day! We are lucky to have two amazing principals leading at CPS and CIS! Thanks for everything you do! 💙 #celebratecentral51

Please see the information regarding Student Material Pickup and a few other items.

Mr. Clarke’s "Tournament of Historical Significance" project looked a little different this year, but it was still a fun and engaging learning opportunity for our 7th Grade Social Studies students! Typically, 7th graders choose their top-32 historical figures in U.S. History, each student then picks one historical figure, and then they go through a March Madness-styled tournament in which students debate against one another with the winner moving on from round to round. Prior to the closure, students established their top-32 but were unable to do the debate-formatted tournament. The tournament still took place, though, through student-led research and a vote on who they thought was most historically significant in each matchup. Check out the final brackets with the winners!

1st grade students Aarush G. and Daniel B. went above and beyond for Mrs. Davidshofer! They completed informational reading, created a web, and even wrote a paragraph about a spring “critter” of their choice. ✏️📓💙
