Lake Villa School District 41 Community Newsletter 2024

Greetings, Lake Villa District 41 Stakeholders.

Lake Villa District 41 is dedicated to offering enriching learning opportunities and fostering academic skills that will propel students into the future. This past school year, we initiated a planning process involving students, staff, parents, and community members to further enhance this endeavor. We are excited to share the results of our efforts in teaching and learning.

As a part of our Strategic Multi-Year Teaching and Learning Plan, the Math Committee adopted Imagine Learning's Illustrative Math, Number Corner, DreamBox, and Imagine Math resources to enrich math instruction across the kindergarten through eighth-grade levels. Illustrative Math emphasizes deep conceptual understanding through real-world applications, while Number Corner fosters daily math routines and problem-solving skills. Imagine Math provides personalized learning experiences tailored to individual student needs.

Moreover, District 41 is allocating additional staff and resources to enhance our programs, ensuring they effectively meet the needs of our students. The areas of focus include:

  • Special Education

  • English Learners

  • Individual Student Support and Enrichment

  • Increased Physical Education for Elementary Students

  • Professional Development Opportunities

This community newsletter contains information about Lake Villa District 41's Portrait of a Graduate, Leader in Me Lighthouse Status, community engagement, and referendum projects. Lake Villa District 41 and individual school newsletters are also available on our district website.

Kindly,

Sandra Keim-Bounds

Superintendent of Schools
