On Thursday, August 31, Westfield Elementary School dedicated the new Park Programming Center, a space in the school’s library that will be used to teach students coding and programming skills.
The Programming Center is named in honor of Catherine Park, the mother of three CCSD 89 students. Catherine Park, 46, died unexpectedly during a family vacation in Costa Rica in 2016. Her family made a $22,000 donation to provide opportunities for all students to learn more about the field she worked in. Read the full article here.

In order to protect student privacy, Community Consolidated School District 89 will no longer be posting class lists outside any of our elementary school buildings. Instead, the District will be mailing a letter to each family. That letter will include the name of the student’s classroom teacher and room number.
The letters will be put in the U.S. mail on Monday, August 7, and should be received within a few days. If you do not receive a letter by August 14, please contact your school for more information.

This will be a rotation format where ALL K-3 students will get to participate in 24 different activities (water games, 3-legged race, potato sack races, volleyball, kickball, bag toss, etc.) throughout the course of the day. The event will begin at 9:15 AM, break for lunch and then resume at 1:15 – 2:45 PM.
4th and 5th Grade go to Butterfield Park District.
We would love parent volunteers to help us run the activities and participate in the celebration. Please e-mail Ms. Hewick if you are interested in helping!
There is no school on Friday, April 14th
Please send students in warm outer gear. In order to play in the snow at recess, students are required to have boots, snow pants, gloves, hat, and a winter coat. Otherwise, they remain on the blacktop to play so as not to get wet and be cold the remainder of the day.
Students will be outside at bus stops, as well as before school during arrival, and during lunch so long as the combined temperature and wind chill factor have a ‘feels like’ result of 10° or higher.
Weather.com is our source when keeping an eye on these guidelines.
The 2nd grade Wolf den of Cub Scout Pack 246 are collecting crayons for SCARCE (School & Community Assistance for Recycling and Composting Education) in Glen Ellyn.
The Super Crayon project diverts broken, unusable crayons from going to the landfill. SCARCE recycles crayon pieces into “Super Crayons.” The scouts will help peel and sort the broken crayons which will then be melted and poured into molds to form large Super Crayons in a variety of shapes which can be used by children with special needs.
If you would like to donate, there will be a crayon collection box located in the front office at Westfield. Thank you for your help!
