Dear Edison Parents:
 
Our school theme this year is “Enter with a Happy Heart.”  As principal, I am looking forward to this year with heartfelt enthusiasm.  I am committed to maintaining the high academic expectations and good social growth for all students.
 
It is my intention to work closely with the Edison staff to see that each student reaches his or her potential, not only in terms of academics, but also in terms of emotional growth and good, solid work/study habits.  As a way of helping children meet these goals, we will focus on building a caring school community focusing on respect, responsibility and being safe.
 
Illinois has adopted common core state standards for reading and math.  Our teachers are working hard to prepare our students for the new state tests coming in March.  As a learning community, we insist that every student have access to high-quality, rigorous and relevant 21st century learning.  We recognize that data is a powerful indicator of student progress.  Every student is formally assessed three times a year in reading and math to determine what interventions and learning experiences are needed to improve student performance.  We know that a child does not stop learning at the end of the school day.  The key to improved student performance is involving parents.  Getting parent and community support makes all the difference when it comes to educating our students.  I need your help in the important areas of behavior, attitude, and effort.  Attending school every day is essential.  The more supportive and consistent the message between home and school, the better the climate of the school will be. 
 
I welcome your comments and feedback and will always be available to discuss policies and decisions made at Edison School. You can contact me at 708-783-4400 or e-mail bernardj@sd103.com.
 
I am looking forward to working with you again this year.
 
Respectfully Yours,
Dr. Jan Bernard
Principal

Estimados Padres Edison:
 
Nuestro tema escolar este año es “Entran con un Corazón Feliz.” Como directora, espero este año con entusiasmo sincero. Estoy comprometida a mantener las altas expectativas académicas y el buen crecimiento social para todos los estudiantes.
 
Es mi intención trabajar cercanamente con el personal de Edison para ver que cada estudiante alcance su potencial, no solo en términos académicos, sino también en términos de crecimiento emocional y buenos hábitos de trabajo / estudio sólidos. Como una forma de ayudar a los niños a alcanzar estos objetivos, nos centraremos en construir una comunidad escolar solidaria centrada en el respeto, la responsabilidad y la seguridad.
 
Illinois ha adoptado estándares estatales básicos comunes para la lectura y las matemáticas. Nuestros maestros están trabajando duro para preparar a nuestros estudiantes para las nuevas pruebas estatales que vienen en marzo. Como comunidad de aprendizaje, insistimos en que cada estudiante tenga acceso a un aprendizaje de alta calidad, riguroso y relevante del siglo XXI. Reconocemos que los datos son un poderoso indicador del progreso de los estudiantes. Cada estudiante es evaluado formalmente tres veces al año en lectura y matemáticas para determinar qué intervenciones y experiencias de aprendizaje son necesarias para mejorar el rendimiento de los estudiantes. Sabemos que un niño no deja de aprender al final del día escolar. La clave para mejorar el rendimiento de los estudiantes es involucrar a los padres.
Obtener el apoyo de los padres y la comunidad marca la diferencia cuando se trata de educar a nuestros estudiantes. Necesito su ayuda en las áreas importantes de comportamiento, actitud y esfuerzo. Asistir a la escuela todos los días es esencial. Más soportante y consecuente el mensaje entre casa y escuela, mejor será el clima de la escuela.
 
Doy la bienvenida a sus comentarios y reacción y siempre estaré disponible para hablar de políticas y decisiones tomadas en la Escuela Edison. Usted puede ponerse en contacto conmigo en 708-783-4400 o el correo electrónico bernardj@sd103.com.
 
Espero trabajar con ustedes nuevamente este año.
Atentamente,
Dr. Jan Bernard
Principal
