Welcome!
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. We are happy to be coming back and are ready for a great year. I would like to welcome those students who are returning and those who are new with us this year. Mrs. Krasnodebski will be working in 4th Grade Resource this year. We welcome Ms. Shahnasarian, who is new in assisting at Prairieview School. Also, we are thrilled to announced that you will be rejoined with Mrs. Micek, who had assisted in 3rd last year. She also has assisted in 4th, and 5th grades at both Elizabeth Ide and Prairieview schools over years; so, she will be coming with a wealth of knowledge in the grade levels.
We are all looking forward to working with your child and helping him/her to achieve at his/her full potential. I will be discussing your child's academic history with his/her classroom teachers in preparation for the upcoming year. The parent-teacher relationship is vital to your child's success in school. By working together, we can help your child have a very fulfilling learning experience.
We hope to see you at the Open House on Monday, August 25th . If you are able to visit, the resource room is located in the 4th Grade Wing on the second floor. Mrs. Krasnodebski may be reached during school hours at (630) 783-5068. You may leave a voice mail message. Your call will be returned as soon as possible. I may also be reached at my respective e-mail address: jkrasno@ccsd66.org . I tend to be able to respond more quickly when sent a email. Throughout the year, I will communicate with the home through notes in the assignment notebook, my blog, telephone calls, progress reports, school newsletters and report cards. I will also be available for parent-teacher conferences, as they are needed.
My teaching is based on the premise that all students can learn, despite any obstacles in their path. For that reason, our students receive instruction and support both in the resource room and in the general education classroom. Your child will receive an educational program that encompasses the goals and instructional strategies outlined in his/her Individualized Education Program (IEP). We will work very hard to help your child complete all of his/her goals and objectives. If you have any questions regarding your child's academic performance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
The resource room is a classroom like any other. In order to function, it must have rules and policies that ensure fair treatment for teachers and students alike. The specific rules and consequences of our classroom will be established as a class and signed within the first few weeks. If you have any questions regarding the rules, I will be happy to answer any of your questions.
Once again, I would like to welcome everyone back from summer vacation. The 2008-2009 school year is going to be a great experience for your child! I would like to thank you in advance for your support and commitment throughout the year.
Best Wishes,
Mrs. Krasnodebski
