Welcome to a new school year at School District U-46. The district continues its commitment to our goal of Academic Success for All our students.  

 

At the elementary level class sizes in many schools will be larger. While this may make for some confusion at the beginning of the year when enrollment figures are being confirmed, we will work hard to provide an environment that will support student success. One of the results of this has been the creation of multi-grade classrooms in many of our elementary schools. This year more support is being provided for multi-grade teachers to ensure they are comfortable in their roles and students are receiving the best education possible. More information is available on that topic through this link.

 

At the middle school students in both seventh and eighth grades have the opportunity to sign up for a world language class. This provides an academically challenging class for students. It is in keeping with the commitment to more rigorous classes for our students. Along with world language students are offered AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). The AVID class provides support for students “in the middle” who are taking more challenging honors or Advanced Placement classes. The AVID class is more than tutoring; it encourages higher level thinking and provides students with the tools they will need to be successful. More information on AVID is available through this link .

 

The high schools will see an increase in the number of Advanced Placement classes that are offered. In addition, students qualifying will be able to take the AVID class to support them in their efforts to take more demanding classes.

 

This site is divided by grade level providing information that relates to every stage of a child's educational experience.

 

At every level the district is working to help students meet the demands of life in the 21st century.
