August 26th - 30th

Welcome!

Hoping that everyone had a wonderful summer! We are happy to be coming back and are ready for a great year. Welcome back returning students and welcome to those who are new with us this year. Mrs. Krasnodebski will be working in 4th Grade Resource. Students will see her throughout the fourth grade area all day long!


We welcome back our students with three assistants in 4th grade.  Mrs. Micek will be with 4th graders all day in multiple rooms.  Mrs. Linde, who will be assisting 4th grade in the afternoon. She spends the morning half of the day as a PE assistant.  Also, new to Prairieview and 4th grade this year is Mr. Beranek. How lucky we are to have all of them part of our team! 


We are all looking forward to working with your child and helping him/her to achieve at his/her full potential. Mrs. Krasnodebski will discuss 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 Tuesday, August 27th . 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) 783-5097. You may leave a voice mail message. Your call will be returned as soon as possible. She may also be reached at the respective e-mail address: jkrasno@ccsd66.org . She can respond more quickly when sent an email. Throughout the year, she will communicate with the home through notes in the assignment notebook, blog, telephone calls, progress reports, school newsletters and report cards. She will also be available for parent-teacher conferences, as they are needed.


Mrs. Krasnodebski's 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 general education classroom and in the resource room. 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 make contact.


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.


Once again, welcome back! The 2013-2014 school year is going to be a great experience for your child! Thank you in advance for your support and commitment throughout the year.
