Pre-School Screening
Bloomingdale School District 13 164 S. Euclid Ave.
Bloomingdale, IL 60108 630-671-5036
Pre-school Screening will be conducted in School District 13 throughout the school year for all children between the ages of 2.9 and 5 years old. The purpose of this screening is to identify pre-school children who may have potential difficulties when they enter the school setting. This screening assesses gross and fine motor skills, speech and language skills, social – emotional skills, and vision and hearing skills.
If you have a child of pre-school age and live within the District 13 boundaries, please call the District 13 Special Education office at 630-671-5036 to learn more about this free screening process.
If you know of a family with a pre-school child who may not receive this information, please share it with them. Our goal is to have all pre-school children participate in this screening. Research shows early intervention is important in helping children progress and achieve their potential. Please take advantage of this important service! Sincerely,
Samia Hefferan
Special Education Coordinator
President Vice President Fundraising Treasurer SecretaryJulie Coronato Marie Marciniak Liz Buck Michelle Caravello Kathy Boebel

GENERAL MILLS BOX TOP COLLECTION 2016-2017
Once again the Box Top competition has begun. As we have for the past few years, all the classes compete to see which class can turn in the most Box Tops. There are 3 separate competitions: November 1, March 1, and Mid May. There is a bulletin board by the gym with all the classes listed for the kids to see who is winning. The winning class receives a small reward from the PTO. Last year we earned $1,619 for the school. GREAT JOB everybody!!! Remember to clip those Box Tops and send them to school with your child to give to his/her teacher. Each Box Top is worth $.10. Remember these important Box Top Rules:
All Box Tops must be trimmed on the dotted lines to be submitted.
Box Tops must have expiration dates on them. Please submit them prior to reaching the expiration date and do not trim the expiration dates off the Box Tops as we are unable to submit them without the expiration date.
Please check the following website for the list of products: Boxtops4education.com. Click earn box tops, select participating products for the complete list. Let’s make this year as successful as the previous years. Thank you for your support! Lisa Cozzi PTO Box Top Collection Coordinator

Let's Build It - Chain Reaction in Action! The ball rolls down the ramp, turns the switch, that moves the post, that activates
the zip-line, that knocks the ball down the ramp and into the goal! In this STEAM program, students will be building Rube
Goldberg “Mouse Trap” chain-reaction machines featuring levers, pulleys, and other simple machines. Engineering and
physics concepts will be introduced and reinforced through hands-on, innovative lessons and creative play time. Problem
solving skills and teamwork will be put to the test as the complexity of the projects increases from week to week. On the final
class, there will be a building competition - How many contraptions can you connect in chain reaction? No previous
experience is necessary, just a desire to learn and build. Each student will receive an award on the last day of the session, and
have the opportunity to earn Energy Belts to demonstrate their learned skills!
