Dear Parents,

The entire staff of Elmwood School welcomes you and your child/ren.

Your child can look forward to a school year of engaged learning that addresses all of the areas of growth so important for each and every student; the academic, social and emotional domains.

 The District 203 vision for the present and the future of education in our community articulates what we as a district and Elmwood School, in particular, are all about… “Building a Passion for Lifelong Learning”. Our three statements of belief continue to drive the goals that we endeavor to achieve:

1.                   The Dignity and Uniqueness of Each Individual
The Elmwood staff strives to nurture a physically and emotionally safe and mentally stimulating atmosphere in order that students of all levels, abilities, needs and cultural backgrounds have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.

2.                   Responsible Citizenship
Our SOAR like EAGLES program recognizes classrooms that go “above and beyond’ to model responsible citizenship and contribute to the learning environment that we value in our school.

3.                   Collective Partnership with the Community
The Elmwood School staff believes in working in concert with our parents and the community-at-large to offer a wide range of experiences for our students.  Looking to our students’ future educational settings, we foster linkages with Lincoln Jr. High and Naperville Central High School.    A variety of business partners not only support our efforts and programs, but also provide additional opportunities and venues for Elmwood students to share their learning and talents.

Through the combined efforts of our staff, students, parents, and community your children will have rewarding and successful experiences each and every year at Elmwood School. We look forward to, encourage, appreciate and value your continued and exceptional involvement and support.

Sincerely,                                                                                                                                                                                 
Mr. Patrick Gaskin, Principal
