Parents of High School Juniors and Seniors: College admissions can feel overwhelming for students and families, but Illinois has a new simple and stress-free program, One Click College Admit, that matches students with Illinois public universities and community colleges for direct admission. No essays, no fees! Just one click and your student is in! Join us on YouTube, www.youtube.com/@ISACvid/streams, Wednesday, December 3 from 5:30 - 6:00 pm, where ISAC’s Parent Outreach Coordinator, Claudia Aly, will share information on One Click College Admit. She will review program eligibility, deadlines, and the participating colleges and universities. This is a great opportunity to learn and support your student in their college admission process.

Dress in your best Hawaiian, tropical, or tourist outfit and help us kick off Day 2 of Spirit Week!

Pre-K enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving by making bracelets to tell us about the meaning of Thanksgiving and watching and listening to "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." We concluded the day by having a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving feast with popcorn, jelly beans, pretzels, and buttered toast! We also enjoyed deciding what flavor our jelly beans were! Happy Thanksgiving from Pre-k!! #elevate38
