Registration 2012-13/District 95 Mission Statement
Registration Forms were sent home several weeks
ago. Registration packets were due back to school on
May 1st. Returning the registration forms helps us to
plan for the 2012-13 school year. Please call us if you
have any questions @ 719-3300.
If you know anyone that has a child entering kindergarten this fall please encourage them to register as
soon as possible. It is very important that we have accurate enrollment numbers so we can staff accordingly. Thank you.
The mission of Community Unit School District 95 is to inspire all students to be passionate, continuous learners and to prepare them with
the skills to achieve their goals and flourish as responsible, caring citizens in a global community.

Teacher Requests– 2012-13
As the 2011-12 school year
comes to an end, I want to
remind everyone about our
policy regarding any requests for specific teachers
for next year. It is very important everyone understands that parent requests
for specific teachers will
NOT be honored under any
circumstances. A tremen-
dous amount of time and
effort goes into placing students in specific classrooms.
Input is given by the current
teacher,
specials’
teachers, next year’s teachers and me before final decisions are made. It is a
complex process and any
attempt to honor specific
teacher requests jeopard-
izes that process. I am extremely proud of all our
staff at Spencer Loomis
School. They all do a great
job of teaching and meeting
the academic, social, and
emotional needs of our students.
Spencer Loomis Olympic Field Days
Spencer Loomis Olympic Field Days
Thursday, May24th
“Building a Just and Peaceful Global Community through
Sports”
The summer Olympics will be held in England this year. Our
Field Day will center around this event. We have selected
eight countries that will be represented. Our students must
learn to live and work in a global community. Therefore, the
activities leading up to Field Day will revolve around promoting an understanding and appreciation of other cultures. This will be integrated into the subject areas of art,
music and LMC. During their Physical Education classes
students will be encouraged to put forth their best efforts
on Field Day. To foster an environment of team-spirit, fairplay, cooperation and multicultural appreciation.
