All children can learn.

Mistakes offer opportunities for learning and growth.

Children learn in a variety of ways.

Children demonstrate what they know in a variety of ways.

Students learn from their peers.

Learning empowers people.

Learning is a lifelong process for staff and students.

Each individual deserves respect and has dignity.

All children have the right to be educated in a safe and healthy environment.

It is important to recognize the emotional and physical needs of students.

Education is a shared responsibility among student, family, school, and community.

Education of the child is our highest priority


FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE

Greetings Medinah Families, 

During November, District 11 will celebrate American Education Week in honor of our staff, who give their all every day to put children and their education first. We are grateful for our Medinah Staff!  

Now that daylight savings time is approaching and cooler weather patterns are beginning, it is important to provide essential safety reminders.

  • While outside walking to and/or from school, it is important to be alert.
  • Look both ways, be aware of your environment, eyes up, phones down, walk in a group, walk on sidewalks, be a good role model, and be visible.
  • Dress for the weather.
  • Dress as warm as possible on cold days.
  • We recommend that students dress in layers and wear hats, gloves, coats, and boots.

With the weather changing, we want to remind families of our plans for e-learning days in the case of inclement weather. Please ensure that your contact information is updated with your child's school. See Emergency School Closing Information.

Besides setting our clocks back and changing smoke detector batteries at this time of the year, this is also a great time to discuss and review the Medinah School District Code of Conduct with your child. Conversations about what being safe, caring, and respectful look like will continue to help maintain a positive learning climate here in Medinah.

                        Medinah Code of Conduct
                                        We are safe. 
                                       We are caring. 
                                     We are respectful. 
                                   We are responsible. 
 
Medinah is thankful for our parents/family members and all you do every day for your child/children.

Wishing you a joyful fall season! 
  
Susan Redell    
Superintendent of Schools
