Terra Nova Testing After Thanksgiving (Repost)

Our students will be taking the Terra Nova assessment between December 3-5 during a portion of each morning. Optional practice will take place on Monday, December 2. Parents will receive information about your child’s performance on these assessments in January. 

First Trimester Report Cards (Repost)

Parents can access the first trimester report cards electronically on November 22 after 12:00 PM via Parent Portal. Report cards are available electronically upon the conclusion of the first and second trimesters, and a printed copy will go home with students on the last day of the third trimester. 

For instructions on accessing your child’s report card on Infinite Campus, view this 30-second video. The first section of the video is for Wood Oaks students, and the second section addresses kindergarten through fifth grade

 In Summary: 

  1. To access your child’s report, log into Parent Portal. 
  2. Then on the left click “More.” On the new main window, you can now click Online report cards. 

Once you click on that, you will need to choose your child’s name from the drop-down menu, then the report card you wish to view. 

Erin's Law Presentations (Repost)

In compliance with State law, a program on child sexual abuse awareness and prevention will be presented to students on November 18 or 20. The presentations will be made by members of the Shabonee Social Work / Counseling Department.

The session is being scheduled in response to Erin's Law, a State law requiring that all public schools implement a sexual abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades K-12. For additional information about Erin's Law, please visit www.erinslaw.org.

The presentations will cover the following topics:

  • Safe touch, unsafe touch, confusing touches
  • Private body parts (parts of the body covered by a bathing suit)
  • Good and bad secrets
  • Saying "no" to unwanted touches
  • Safety steps and reporting

The presentations are designed to empower and educate children in a developmentally appropriate, child-friendly manner. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this program, please email Shabonee Principal, Dr. Panozzo, informing him of your request to have your child excluded before November 18. A confirmation acknowledgment of your request will be sent.
