Fall Sports Season Successful for Spartans!





The Fall season ended yesterday with a Spartan football victory over Eisenhower Junior High giving the Lakeview Spartans the Conference Championship and an undefeated season. Congratulations to the team! The Boys Cross Team also had an undefeated season. Congratulations to Amanda Thate for finishing 2nd in the girls State Cross Country Meet in Normal. The Girls Volleyball Tournament will be held at Lakeview this Saturday. Our team is seeded 2nd for this tournament. This has been a very successful season for our students! Thanks to our coaches, Mr. Dvorak, Mr. Novotny, Mr. Rodda, Mr. Urbas, Ms. Nyhlen, Mrs. Maass and Ms. Coppoletta for their hard work and leadership

I found this parent pledge on the Indiana State Board of Education website. I think it does a great job of identifying the critical components of the relationship between the Teacher/School, Students and Family. I hope you find it interesting. Have a great week!

Parent Pledge

As a parent, grandparent or caring adult, I hereby affirm my commitment to the academic achievement and career success of my child. I promise to make the pursuit of knowledge a priority in my household.

To demonstrate my commitment to this goal, I pledge to adhere to the following principles:

  • My child will read with an adult or be encouraged to read independently each day.

  • My child will complete all homework assignments given by school instructors and will be encouraged to ask for help when it is needed.

  • My child will arrive at school on time, well rested and prepared for a full day of instruction and learning.

  • My child will treat teachers and fellow classmates with respect and compassion. I will make positive behavior the expectation in my household.

  • My child will graduate from high school and will understand the importance of a strong education in determining future success.

  • I will encourage my child to dream big and always give 100 percent effort.

  • I will treat my child’s teachers as a valuable resource and work with them to support academic improvement and classroom behavior expectations.

  • I will monitor my child’s academic growth and stay as involved as possible in my child’s education. I will let the teacher know right away if I notice any problems.

Together, my child and I, in partnership with Illinois’s educators, will make education our #1 priority.

Food for all!

Drivers receiving Board of Education Resolutions.

Today we celebrated School Bus Driver Appreciation Day at Center Cass SD 66! Our drivers celebrated with a breakfast feast prepared and donated by District parents.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this a special day for out bus drivers!

Congratulations to Mr. Rodda, Mr. Urbas and the Lakeview Boys Cross Country Team for winning the Southeast DuPage conference championship this year as well as finishing 18th overall in the state meet last weekend in Normal, Illinois. Good job!

October 8, 2010




Hasn't the weather been delightful this week? We have had great weather for football games and Cross Country meets! Congratulations to our Football team which is having a banner year and currently undefeated! Good work to team members and Coach Dvorak and Count Novotny! The Boys Cross Country team also has an unblemished record under the leadership of Coach Rodda and Coach Urbas. It was nice to see a large group of cheerleaders cheering for our football team at the Cass game this week. The young ladies looked sharp and well prepared. Thanks to them for their spirit and kudos to Miss Coppoletta and Mrs. Maass for their hard work with the cheerleaders.

I am so proud of all of the Center Cass teachers this year. These professionals are working under extreme pressure to continue to develop and enhance our RtI Program not only in Reading but also Mathematics as well as implement the new PBIS Program. All of their hard work along with the leadership of dedicated principals is paying off in highly focused learning opportunities for our students!

October 22nd has been designated as School Bus Driver Appreciation Day by the Illinois House of Representatives. This day is set aside to recognize the men and women who transport over 1,100,000 students daily in Illinois to and from school. Illinois School Bus Drivers each year travel over 122,000,000 miles on regular routes, 4,200,000 miles on field trips, 3,700,000 miles on vocational routes and 8,800,000 miles on special education routes. The Center Cass Transportation System operates over 120,000 miles per year transporting our students to and from school as well as field trips and other events. We are fortunate to have an exceptional group of men and woman that provide safe and efficient transportation for our children. I hope that you and your children will take the opportunity to remember your bus driver with a note or card during the week of October 18th. Cards to bus drivers also may be mailed to our Transportation Director, Mr. Tom Tiede, Prairieview School, 699 Plainfield Road, Downers Grove, IL 61516. Drivers will be honored with a breakfast on October 22 to mark this important day.

Over 60 of our 8th graders will be traveling to Washington D.C. this weekend for the annual Washington Trip! Thanks to Mrs. Maaas, Mrs. Coppoletta, Miss Enzbigilis, Mrs. Bergmann and Mr. Little for accompanying this group!

Have a great weekend!
