Central School District #104

Have a marvelous weekend!

With the promotion of our Dawn Elser Elementary Principal to Director of Student Services for the 2026-2027 school year, we are looking for our next building leader! Please share!

Have a beautiful weekend!

Please see this fundraising opportunity for a student battling in the ICU! 🙏

We recently had a third party analytics company send us free visual representations of our historical ELA and Math scores on IAR that we wanted to share as we approach testing season. Why do we continue sharing progress? Because it is important! Your children transition to OTHS, an exemplary high school in the state of Illinois. Our school community working together to provide the BEST education to them so that they are well prepared to compete with their peers from feeder districts is essential. It takes our village to fully equip them, from our PK-8 grade teachers, support staff, consultants, administrators, students and families. Together, we are closing gaps that we never knew existed. These visuals are a testament of the hard work we have collaboratively achieved. Congratulations to everyone and thank you for trusting us to educate and serve your children to the best of our ability. Here's to a great testing season in hopes our bars continue to rise!

Kudos to our Central School District 104 teams for their strong engagement and pass rates in Personalized Instruction on iReady! March is a great time to pause and celebrate the intentional work happening in our classrooms. Our staff and students ROCK!
