M E SSAG E TOTHE COMMUNITY Dear Lisle District 202 Community, It is my pleasure to present the 2017 Lisle Community Unit School District Annual Report. Highlighted within these pages are the collective accomplishments of our students and staff as well as the School District’s plan for providing our students with the essential education, skills, and experiences for their future. We are also pleased to share information about the progress being made in preparing for the construction of the new Lisle Elementary School which will serve our Early Childhood through 5th grade students beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. Our School District has always been committed to providing rich learning opportunities and environments to prepare our students for their futures. However, we recognize that the skills that were once sufficient for entering college and career no longer meet today’s standards and expectations. Now, in order to be successful in the 21st Century, four main skills have been identified as integral in education, the workplace and for citizenship. These skills are: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. We believe that by integrating these four essential skills into the curriculum across the grades, our students will be equipped with the tools to face challenges and to be successful in whichever path they choose. The primary focus in recent years has been to design the curriculum to assist students in growing academic and critical thinking skills by incorporating rigorous and relevant learning experiences. With this goal in mind, this year we have implemented a new math curriculum in kindergarten through 5th grade and are currently piloting a new math curriculum in 6th through 8th grades. The High School is also redesigning course options to include more computer programming, engineering and robotics. Lastly, beginning in 2015, Lisle 202 began the Vision 202 community engagement process to gather valuable feedback from District stakeholders regarding their expectations for our school district and its facilities. Participants clearly expressed a desire to invest in one new Early Childhood through fifth grade facility rather than continuing to repair and maintain buildings that are more than 60 years old. We invite you to visit the Vision 202 website www.vision202.org to review the extensive facilities research, community input, and comprehensive Facilities Data Compilation Report along with design plans for the new Lisle Elementary School. The Board of Education, teachers, staff, parents, and community are strong partners in continuing the long-standing tradition of excellence in Lisle District 202. Together we will continue providing valuable learning experiences to effectively prepare our students for life in the 21st Century. We appreciate your support and commitment to our students and schools, and are proud to share the many achievements of our student body, the dedicated teachers, and staff of Lisle District 202.

25 Years of Service What is your favorite aspect of teaching? I particularly enjoy getting to know my students as individual people. I am interested in their likes and dislikes and their favorites, such as sports or subjects in school. Most importantly, I want them to feel valued in my classroom and to work up to their potential.
What do you hope your students take away from your class? I hope the students take away that they are valued and that if you work hard you will be able to accomplish your goals.
What is your favorite memory from teaching in Lisle 202? I have so many memories from working in Lisle because I have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing staff members, past and present, that have formed me into the teacher that I am today. Since Lisle is a smaller district, some of my favorite memories have taken place outside of the classroom, like on the softball field, the wrestling meets, and the soccer field. In Lisle, if you want to get involved, there are many opportunities to do so in the extracurricular activities at the Jr. High or High School. There are so many great students in this district that the memories are too many to list. 7

Lisle High School focuses on four pillars RIGOR Lisle High School strives to prepare students for college and career by providing rigorous coursework that includes critical thinking, problem solving, and application. Advanced Placement (AP) coursework is one avenue students can take to participate in a high-level, challenging curriculum. Governed by the College Board to be consistent with college course expectations, students may opt to take the subject AP exam and potentially earn college credit. Lisle High School first offered Advanced Placement course options in 2009. Since that time, AP course offerings have steadily increased, raising curriculum rigor and providing more access to college-level content for Lisle High School students.

Lisle Junior High School focuses on five Lisle Junior High School continually examines the curriculum to remain effective in accomplishing the District mission of equipping our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to find success for their futures. The Partnership for 21st Century Learning, or P21®, has identified the Four Cs: Collaboration, Critical-Thinking, Creativity, and Communication as skills that are essential for success, and therefore must be developed by all students in all subject areas. In addition, the incorporation of SocialEmotional Learning (SEL) instruction has played a crucial role in establishing what we believe to be the fundamental Fifth C of learning - Community. Take a look at a few snapshots of the Five Cs in action here at Lisle Junior High School.
COLLABORATION Career & Technical Education • Students engage in real-world experiences to develop crucial skills for future readiness. For example, students recently began creating a non-profit organization and will carry out all aspects of the organization's operations including product development, marketing, and accounting. English/Language Arts • Students maximize the benefits of our 1:1 technology by utilizing online tools for activities such as discussions, peer editing, assessing, and presenting.
CRITICAL THINKING Mathematics • Students demonstrate depth of knowledge and skill rather than simply memorizing procedures and finding answers. As a result of higher demands, students are now empowered to think critically in order to develop deeper conceptual understandings. Science • Students are scientists, engaging in all the practices of true scientific investigation, from Asking Questions and Defining Problems to Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information as identified by the Next Generation Science Standards. 10
C’s to prepare students for the future CREATIVITY Physical Education/Health • Students learn necessary teamwork and sportsmanship skills through structured activities and student driven activities. Students also create their own cardiovascular workouts and exercise in their target heart rate zone based on their personal interests. Fine Arts • Choir and band students learn to communicate and work with their teammates to produce outstanding performances. Similarly, art students work collaboratively as a team to discuss, design, and create a work of art.
COMMUNICATION Social Studies • Students develop critical thinking and communication skills by participating in an inquiry-based learning approach that provides invaluable experience as they learn and grow into informed and engaged citizens. World Languages • Students demonstrate their ability to read, write, listen, and speak in a “target language” through informal and formal communications within the classroom setting.
COMMUNITY Social/Emotional Learning • All students are actively engaged in biweekly SEL lessons utilizing the secondSTEP® curriculum. This program includes an increased focus on developing a “growth mindset”, which many regard as a necessary first step toward fostering all other positive character traits and skills, such as perseverance and empathy.

Elementary students grow their thinking CRITICAL THINKING Focus on Mathematics • The K-5 math curriculum incorporates the Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics in a manner that is rigorous, coherent, engaging, and accessible to all learners. Developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex problems is a main focus throughout the curriculum. In order to accomplish this, a variety of instructional approaches are utilized to support student learning, including teacher directed instruction, structured investigation activities, and open exploration choices. This approach taps into the strengths of all students by presenting material visually and in a hands-on manner. Once students have had a variety of interactions with the skills and concepts, different types of assessments are used to determine student needs, set goals and differentiate instruction. At each grade level, students focus intensely on critical areas specified by the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. An abbreviated list is shown below for each elementary grade level. Grade 1 Addition and subtraction through 20 • Whole number relationships and place value • Linear measurement in non-standard units • Reasoning with shapes and their attributes
Grade 2 Extending understanding of number concepts • Building fluency with addition and subtraction • Using standard units of linear measurement • Describing and analyzing shapes
Grade 3 Multiplication and division strategies • Developing understanding of fractions • Geometry concepts such as area and describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes
Grade 4 Multi-digit multiplication and dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends • Fraction equivalence, adding, subtracting and multiplying fractions • Geometric concepts and figure analysis
Grade 5
Extending understanding of adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions • Extending division to 2-digit divisors • Integrating decimals into the place value system • Expanding geometric concepts and analysis 12
TAT E WO O D S & S CH I E SH E R E L E ME NTARY S CHOOLS
through new curriculum and application CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING Tinkering and Design Thinking • Tinkering and Design Thinking are the conceptual foundation for the Tech Lab at both Tate Woods and Schiesher schools. Students are provided instruction that allows them to define a problem and engage in work that uses collaboration and critical thinking to move through the problem solving process with a teammate. The opportunity to use an ageappropriate approach to solving challenges assists students in growing a mindset that asks them to be flexible, persistent, resilient, optimistic and empathetic while developing academically, socially, and emotionally as learners and teammates.
APPLICATION Tinker and Design Workshop • During workshop time, students work creatively through the Design Thinking process to innovate a new design or idea. Students complete six steps in the tinker/design workshop: 1. Determine a Problem - Students begin by thinking of someone they can help and defining a problem with which they can help. 2. Rapid Prototyping – Students brainstorm and draw ideas of different designs they may make to solve the problem. 3. Research – Students gather information related to their chosen prototype to make their design feasible. 4. Build – Students begin building a 3-D model of their prototype out of a medium of their choice: cardboard, wood, Legos, Tinkertoys and more. 5. Test - When students feel their prototype is complete, they test it by meeting with another group to gather feedback on their design. 6. Revise & Improve - Armed with their test feedback, students go back to work on the prototype to make it even better!

L ISL E 202 AS SE SSM E N T OV E RV I E W Each year, students in Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade participate in various assessments to measure their academic growth and content understanding. A more complete picture of each student’s progress is developed by utilizing multiple assessments. Classroom Assessments Classroom assessments are given throughout the school year. These assessments are administered during the learning process with the purpose of gathering information and providing regular feedback for the student and teacher in order to best support student learning.
Classroom assessments provide valuable feedback to promote effective student learning.
MAP ¡ K-8 The Measures of Academic Progress, or MAP, is a nationally normed assessment that measures student growth in the Areas of Reading and Mathematics up to three times during the school year for students in grades Kindergarten through Eighth Grade.
Lisle students consistently score above National Grade Level Norms across grade levels.
PARCC Testing ¡ Grades 3-8 The PARCC assessment is the yearly Illinois State Test administered to students in third through eighth grade. This test is intended to be administered at the end of the learning process with the purpose of evaluating student learning of the content and skills for learning targets.

L ISLE E LE M E N TA RY SC H O O L U P DATE In September 2016, after careful consideration, the Lisle Board of Education selected the Meadows site for a new Early Childhood through Fifth Grade school to replace the current aging elementary facilities. There were a number of influencing factors, but as a result of the extensive and valued community input, as well as the professional data collection process, the Board of Education is confident that the Meadows site, which is already owned by the District, is the most prudent location to create a learning environment that will serve Lisle 202 elementary students for generations to come.

NEW BUILDING FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS In 2015, Lisle District 202 was at a crossroads in deciding the future of its two elementary school buildings. The current elementary school buildings, Tate Woods and Schiesher, were built in the 1950’s. As a result, they are in need of costly repairs to the physical structures as well as significant renovations to more effectively support learning, teaching, and safety in the 21st Century. After careful consideration of data and community input over the course of two years, the Board of Education and the School District have decided that the most prudent way to support the students’ education is to invest, not in band-aid solutions for old facilities that will continue to require future investment, but rather to invest in one new elementary facility that will support the education of the community’s children for generations to come. The following information outlines the financial implications of the project. How will the School District pay for the cost of the new elementary school? Over the past decade, Lisle District 202 has been addressing and anticipating costly repairs at the elementary school buildings. As a result of fiscally responsible practices, the District has been able to save a portion of its operating funds each year to help address the impending facility needs. Based on cost evaluations and community feedback, these funds will be better utilized for one new school building instead of repairing the two old buildings currently being used as elementary schools in Lisle CUSD 202. The new elementary building is projected to cost approximately thirty-nine million dollars. To pay for this project, Lisle School District will utilize approximately twenty-one million dollars of its current funds and eighteen million dollars from the issuance of bonds. Why doesn’t the District use funds to fix the current school buildings? Based on the results of the detailed Facilities Assessment performed by the District’s architects during the summer of 2015, and despite ongoing maintenance and repairs, there are approximately five million dollars in repairs that need to be completed in the near future to maintain just the physical structure of the existing elementary buildings. These items include the replacement of roofs, replacement of parking lots, replacement of mechanical systems, and general repairs at Tate Woods Elementary School (built 1959) and Schiesher Elementary School (built 1956). These dollars do not factor in the cost of much needed educational improvements that would create learning spaces to support future-ready learning and teaching to best prepare our students. This also does not include the cost of reconfiguring entries to improve security or creating more handicapped accessible spaces for all students. After more than two years of conversations with Lisle 202 stakeholders including parents, community members, business owners, and employees, it was clearly communicated by these groups that they did not want to continue to repair and renovate the current facilities. The feedback from more than 250 participants over this time indicated a strong desire to build one new elementary school to best meet the needs of our students and community.

What will be the impact on my tax bill? Approximately 3% of your total tax bill is currently used to repay outstanding debt of the School District. We are pleased to share Lisle District 202 will be debt-free in 2019. Similar to getting a new mortgage after your current mortgage is paid off, a new bond (or loan) will be utilized for the construction of the new elementary school building. After the old bonds are paid off, the 3% of your tax bill used to repay the old bonds will be used to repay the new bonds and will not increase in the future. Also, because of its strong financial ratings and the favorable interest rate environment, Lisle District 202 hopes to take advantage of historically low borrowing costs.
