Help Your Child Avoid the Summer Slide   |   Junior High Summer Reading List

What is the “summer slide”?  To students with vacation on the brain, it may sound like an attraction at the playground.  In reality, it’s far less cheerful.
The summer slide is what happens when students don’t read over the summer. Often, these students begin the next school year reading at a lower level than they achieved the year before.  Not only is this discouraging, it results in lost time in their education.  Next year, we will be setting spring to spring NWEA targets.  We want to ensure students are ready to begin the year achieving at a volcanic level of achievement.
Thankfully, the summer slide is not inevitable. We’ve worked with your child to make great progress in reading this year, and you can keep that momentum going.  This summer, make a commitment to help your child climb up instead of slide down.
To accelerate reading achievement, your child needs a system that makes him or her want to read. This summer we are offering the program “Read for Burritos.” Students who want to spice up their summer and earn gift cards to Chipotle need to complete the three easy steps. 

Students need to read three books of their choice (reading level appropriate), complete one Prove It  form for each book and then return them to the Keller office during the first two weeks of the school year.  Once the Prove it sheets have been reviewed, the gift certificates will be rewarded to students.

Look for it in Keller’s parking lot this summer!!!

Tom Barbini will become the new principal at Keller Junior High School in Schaumburg, replacing

Heather Wilson who will be the principal at Eisenhower Junior High School. Current Eisenhower principal Steve Kern will move to the principal position at Churchill Elementary School, replacing Lisa Hopkins who is taking a new role as a special education director for District 54.

Barbini is currently the assistant principal at Addams Junior High in District 54. Previously he was the assistant principal at Frost Junior High School. He was originally hired by District 54 in 2005 as a mathematics teacher at Mead Junior High School, where he also served as Mathematics Department Chair.

“I am extremely grateful for all of the support and opportunities that District 54 has provided me throughout my career,” Barbini said. “I am looking forward to being a part of the Keller community, and excited to work with and learn from the staff and students.”

Barbini has a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Illinois State University and a master’s degree in school leadership from Concordia University.

District 54 is hosting its 12th annual Run to Read, which will be held on Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017 at Dirksen Elementary School in Schaumburg. The day includes 100-yard and 400-yard dashes for children at 8 a.m., a 5K run at 8:45 a.m. and a 1-mile family walk at 9 a.m. Although you can register at any time, even the morning of the race, you will save $5 and be guaranteed a T-shirt and goody bag if you register by Sept. 1. The Run to Read is an awesome opportunity to promote healthy living by encouraging your children to exercise, or even better, by joining them on the walk or run. The event also supports our goal of collecting 1,000 children’s books for every classroom in District 54. To register online,  Run to Read
