This publication is revised annually and is organized by school. It is intended to provide parents with an overview of the District's broad based curriculum. Each review involves a host of stakeholders who spent hours studying issues and debating possibilities. The District is grateful for a high percentage of teacher involvement and parent interest in its curriculum and instruction throughout the grade levels and subject areas.

A Parent's Guide To The Curriculum

Each of the three Glencoe Schools has its own School Improvement Team, comprised of the principal, representative teachers and other staff members and parents who are leaders in the parent community/organizations, and representatives from the business community as well as the local education foundation that supports school initiatives. The Director of Curriculum and Superintendent are available to oversee all activities of the three School Improvement Teams. The School Improvement Team is charged with the responsibilities for representing all constituencies, offering input on goals and data analysis, and reviewing the final School Improvement Plan prior to its presentation to the Board of Education and its availability to the community. The process for Internal Review by the School Improvement Team includes a thorough and methodical review based on the Illinois State Board of Education guidelines for Quality Assurance and School Improvement Planning of three areas:

• Teaching and Learning
• Student Learning, Progress and Achievement
• The School as a Learning Community

A copy of the Central, West and South School Improvement Plan is available for review within each of the schools' main offices.

The Better Schools Accountability law requires all public school districts to report on the performance of their schools and students through school report cards. The school report card is available for District #35 and each school. Links to the Future identifies highlights of the past school year and goals for the future.
