Wellness & Belonging
We are committed to nurturing wellness and belonging by creating spaces where students feel safe, focused, and connected. Our Away for the Day protocol supports this commitment by limiting distractions, encouraging face-to-face interactions, and fostering a school community where every student can thrive.
Partnering with Parents
At Central School, we believe strong partnerships with parents are key to student success. That’s why we offer a robust parent engagement calendar filled with opportunities to stay informed, learn about best practices, and connect with our school community—ensuring families are supported every step of the way.

Celebrating Our Community
In the late 1970’s, the Glencoe Board of Education chose to reorganize the district from four neighborhood schools to three age-centered buildings.
District 35 educates the whole child to...
…maximize creative and critical thinking skills.
…fully challenge and realize physical, social, and cognitive abilities.
…nurture unique learning styles, interests, strengths, and pace.
…provide a solid foundation for the next phase of education and for learning throughout life.
Celebrating Our Community
District 35 views education as experiences best served by coordinated efforts of parents and the school staff. Parent involvement through generous support of the Glencoe PTO, volunteers in classrooms and ongoing communication with teachers and school personnel are welcomed and encouraged. Teachers in grade level and/or subject area teams work closely side-by-side in their planning, decision-making, implementation, and assessment. Together, we nurture our greatest natural resource – our children.
Growing Every Heart and Mind
The District 35 curriculum is broadly based, reflecting an interest in the academic, social, emotional, artistic, and physical development of children. Problem-solving and decision-making are encouraged through the curriculum and informal situations, such as recess or class meetings in the lower grades and integrated activities at the upper levels.
