MARGIN OF EXCELLENCE Excellence is often defined as the quality of excelling, of being truly the best at something. But excellence cannot be accomplished alone. Excellence at North Park is an outcome of working together and amongst a community of dedicated educators, faculty, students and families who are committed to providing a differentiated learning experience and who care deeply for our community. This past school year, we entered a new era. Our building was significantly enhanced through Project North Park, we developed and attracted world-class leaders and educators, and we welcomed 48 new students and families. But what was truly excellent was what we accomplished together. Our students excelled through inquirybased learning. Our teachers grew as innovative educators. Our community came together to engage in the community. All of these things happened in a curious, safe, diverse, and inclusive community that prioritizes respect and the education and experience of all.

Philanthropy and generosity are how we improve lives around us. It is through your support and generosity that we are able to accomplish great things today and set a vision of excellence for tomorrow. By donating your time, resources, and perspectives, North Park will continue to thrive. In fact, we have recently launched a strategic plan focused on elevating our educational program, empowering our educators, celebrating our community, amplifying our vision, and advancing our financial health. Please visit our website to learn more. On behalf of our Board of Directors and our Head of School John Novick, thank you, for all you have done this past year to inspire excellence.

NPES Board President

OUR CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE Robert Marston, scientist and educator, observed, “Excellence is an attitude.” Anyone who visits our classrooms or talks to our students and teachers will see that notion in action. Excellence lives everywhere at NPES. Our students are engaged, curious, creative, joyful, and eager for challenge. This is the culture of excellence NPES has created and sustains with your support. Excellence can be found in our student-driven preschool studies that emerge from creative play and help develop essential, skills for academic success. It is reflected in first grade’s Daily Five, an adaptable and multi-faceted program that individualizes priorities for conceptual understanding and skill building. In middle school mathematics, excellence comes alive when teams of students tackle complex and challenging problems together, pooling prior learning, sharing their creative thinking, and engaging in meaningful, productive struggle to find solutions. Excellence also lives outside of the classroom in our service learning experiences like second grade’s partnership with The Common Pantry, where students learn about and actively address food insecurity and hunger in our neighborhood. Our Innovation Lab/Maker’s Space fosters excellence through its empathetic, designthinking approach to solving real world problems.

Our Middle School Science Olympiad varsity team achieved excellence by qualifying for the state finals in Champaign, finishing in the top third of all schools in the state. Excellence can be found in our neighborhood explorations and student travel programs for middle schoolers that broaden perspectives and build cultural literacy, with purposeful educational excursions to Humboldt Park, Chinatown, Uptown, Atlanta, GA for a civil rights tour, and Costa Rica. Excellence can also be found in our dedicated and outstanding faculty, staff, and administrators, who are committed to their own professional growth so that they can engage, challenge, and support all students in fulfilling their potential. A robust Fine Arts program has long been an essential part of our school’s curriculum. Over the last two years, our student artwork has had the honor of being displayed in the North Center Alderperson’s office. We continue to advance our arts programming through the generosity of the Nielsen family. While it is not possible to capture all of the powerful examples of excellence at NPES in a single report, we have highlighted some areas that simply would not be possible without your support of the school through charitable giving. Your gifts provide us with a margin of excellence to: Pilot new academic and extracurricular programs Engage in meaningful community partnerships Seize unexpected opportunities for students to expand their learning (and acquire the resources needed to do so) Compete for the most talented faculty and staff to fill vacant positions

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The Depth of Our Core Curriculum NPES students are actively engaged in practicing and building essential academic skills designed to challenge them to beome innovative, critical and creative thinkers, while understanding and appreciating mulitple perspectives in the complex world around them. Our excellence is rooted in the inquiry, collaboration, and self-expression visible in all aspects of the curriculum. Students are not simply vessels in which to place knowledge, but capable participants in and meaningful contributors to their own learning.

Beginning in preschool, students use their innate curiosity to explore their environment and build foundational math and literacy skills through a series of interdisciplinary emergent studies guided by their own interests. As students move into the primary years they become confident readers and writers. Reading and dissecting increasingly complex texts leads to sophisticated literacy skills and develops a deep love for literature. Drafting, revising, editing, and publishing original work empowers students across grade levels to become strong, purposeful writers. Math experiences at NPES are interactive, collaborative, rigorous, and playful as students find joy in exploring the possibilities of mathematical discourse while also building the necessary computation and precision skills. Science content is based on real-world concepts and literally comes alive as kindergarteners watch chicks emerge from eggs, and 8th graders act as project engineers to design, build, and launch original and innovative rocket designs. NPES students study the human experience through empathetic and inclusive lenses while participating in Socratic debates and high-interest projects within the social studies curriculum. Whether students are harvesting crops from an urban garden for the local food pantry as they study food insecurity in Chicago, or engaging in dialogue about challenging current events, we learn from our past, strive for equity for all, and contribute meaningfully to our community.

The Breadth of Our Co-Curriculars Creative, athletic, technological, and world language pursuits are an integral component of our well-rounded, whole-child approach. Thanks to many donors, including the Nielsen Family, NPES students are given the opportunity to explore their passions, find new interests, and both literally and figuratively exercise different muscles in their co-curricular courses. FINE ARTS Students engage fully in the artistic process and gain skills and confidence by working in two- and three-dimensional mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, collage, fiber, computer arts, and mixed media.

MUSIC At NPES, we not only learn music to appreciate what others have created but to encourage students to share and shape their own unique identity through band and choral performance opportunities. CREATIVE DRAMA In creative drama, students are empowered to believe in themselves and to discover and express their individual and collective voices with confidence. The program is designed to expand self-awareness, develop imagination, hone communication skills, encourage a healthy release of emotions, and build compassion and empathy. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education program at NPES promotes favorable attitudes toward a healthy active lifestyle, physical fitness, and safety by teaching the fundamentals of a myriad lifetime and leisure sports. LIBRARY NPES values literacy in its many forms and is dedicated to maintaining a thoughtfully curated library with a diverse and expansive collection of print materials while building a digital collection. SPANISH Students learn to listen, read, speak, and write in Spanish, and develop foundational skills vital to acquiring a second language, while also exploring and promoting an appreciation of cultural traditions. 05

REFLECTIONS OF EXCELLENCE

CLASS OF 2023 39th Commencement 21 Graduates 9 High Schools

Excellence in High School Preparation NPES students, engage fully and enthusiastically in their studies and in enrichment programs beyond the classroom to build the essential 21st-century skills needed to pursue excellence in high school. The key skills that prepare our students for success after graduation are: reading and thinking critically mathematical and scientific problem-solving leading, collaboration, and increased independence self-advocacy and self-expression (written, spoken, and through the creative arts) flexibility, resilience and open-mindedness healthy social-emotional practices an understanding and appreciation of diversity, equity, and inclusion executive functioning and study skills Our students demonstrate excellence on high school entrance examinations and are appreciated by area schools for their readiness and active participation in the life of their school. NPES students are the students who attend office hours, raise important questions others may think about but not share, and seek to build meaningful connections with their teachers. As part of the high school placement process, NPES offers families and students individual counseling led by a member of the school’s administrative team that is intentional, informed, and comprehensive. Families receive assistance with every aspect of the high school selection process including identifying desirable options, managing admissions timetables, preparing necessary documentation and assistance in final selection .

Excellence Through Community Engagement At NPES, we view service learning opportunities, field studies and travel as invaluable extensions of classroom learning. By proactively seeking opportunities for our students to positively engage in the world around them, we are expanding knowledge, deepening cultural literacy and promoting active citizenship.

Service Learning NPES students pursue excellence beyond the school’s walls, engaging in community service learning with a variety of not-for-profit charitable organizations. Our focus is not on service alone, but on what people who have different life experiences, identities, and perspectives can teach us about the world.

Field Studies and Student Travel All NPES students have the opportunity to experience the rich cultural diversity of Chicago by participating in field studies and day trips off campus to specific cultural, educational, and civic institutions. Students in grades five through eight also engage in purposeful overnight travel both domestically and internationally.

Middle School Neighborhood Explorations and Partners Twice a year, our middle school students participate in neighborhood explorations to learn about the history, geography, and demographics of a Chicago community before participating in a guided walking tour of the neighborhood. The focus of these tours is to celebrate the culture, history, art, and architecture of an area while also acknowledging and appreciating social justice issues like gentrification, employment, public safety, access to healthcare and transportation.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Student Initiatives Emphasizing an experience-centered education, rich in multicultural perspectives Providing opportunities at all grades to explore their identities, develop their voices, and live their authentic truth, as we seek to offer identity mirrors and windows in our curriculum Partnering with Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to educate faculty/staff on best practices in supporting students’ gender-identity development, teaching students to be upstanders for non-binary identities Providing service learning opportunities to volunteer across the city to advance causes that hold meaning, while learning from the stories, insights, and questions of those they meet Celebrating the unique abilities, different learning styles, and characteristics of NPES students and their families, and supporting diverse types of learners. Providing opportunities to grapple with complex world issues that enable them to explore the roles, rights, and responsibilities of citizens in a democratic society Sustaining an NPES PRIDE Alliance, a fun, affirming, and inclusive space for all interested middle school students to explore history, current events, biographies, and art that teaches about the LGBTQ+ experience; raises awareness and promotes understanding and empathy around LGBTQ+ issues within and beyond NPES; and supports a safe and inclusive school for students of all genders and sexual orientations 12

Faculty Initiatives Developing a culture with a shared vision for equity and inclusion, with professional development to evolve our practice (including SEED) By the Spring of 2024, all NPES Teachers, Admin and Full-time Staff will have completed SEED Training Creating purposeful spaces for leading DEI efforts, including the Diversity Action Team (DAT) for employees and the Board of Trustees DEI Committee. NPES Faculty participation in the NAIS people of color conference Through inclusive hiring practices, the percentage of faculty who identify as people of color has tripled over the last two years

Community Inititatives Actively seeking to expand the school’s reach into new communities (now up to 17 different zip codes) through authentic, transparent, and inclusive marketing; new organizational partnerships; networking by faculty/staff and families; and participation in events like the ChicagoArea Independent School Diversity Job Fair Offering parent/caregiver education opportunities to grow cultural literacy and better understand the societal context in which their children are growing up. By way of expanding our geographical reach, NPES has doubled the number of students that identify as students of color

DEI Challenge Grant In the Spring of 2023, NPES introduced a Challenge Grant to the NPES Community in support of its commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Without hesitation, the NPES Community stepped up and raised $24,555 in just twenty days. As a result, the Kalhan Family Foundation made a matching gift of $25,000. NPES continues to demonstrate its commitment to pursuing a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable community. Thank you to the Kalhan Family Foundation and to all who who supported the DEI Challenge Grant.

STRATEGIC PLANNING MAJOR OUTCOMES:

VOLUNTEERISM As a parent, Board Member, Development Committee Chair, and 7th grade basketball coach I have found so much fulfillment in the many ways to volunteer here at NPES over the years. I’ve watched so many of our students and alumni grow into curious and impressive young adults and teenagers and have met some dear friends along the way. Giving of your time, being in our building and getting to know our students and community is absolutely the best and most intimate way to participate in NPES Excellence. -Ted Moore Board of Directors, Development Committee Chair

One of the things that is special about NPES is the enthusiastic engagement of parents and other caregivers in the life of the school. The regular presence of parents on campus throughout each day helps students understand that our entire community wraps around them, supporting their well-being, learning, and growth. Our school lifts children up in affirming and healthy ways, and NPES' volunteers are essential to that work. -John Novick, Jr., Head of School

EVENTS AND ENGAGEMENT North Park Elementary School’s longstanding tradition of excellence is fueled by the ongoing generosity of our parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, and friends. Your support is vital to the NPES mission of raising confident, self-reliant individuals. Annual gifts to the NPES Annual Fund and special events, such as the Fun Run, Fall Event, VIP Day, and the GALA provide vital support to the NPES student experience. I am inspired and motivated daily by the highly supportive, social, and celebratory NPES Community in creating memorable and meaningful moments each school year. Erin Leyden Director of Development
