Student Behavior & Discipline Handbook

Dear CP Families,

There are two reminders that I share this weekend, starting with the Dolphin 3 expectations: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible.

This week, teachers and staff have been reminding students about these expectations and helping address behaviors that don’t align. Please take a few minutes this weekend to review them at home with your child. We look forward to celebrating with students when we see them showing these behaviors each day.

Additionally, during morning drop-off, please drop students off and continue driving forward. Those wishing to walk students to the blacktop may park on a nearby street. For safety and efficiency, please do not remain parked in the drop-off line.

Thank you for partnering with us in these two important reminders this week. 

Take care, 

Ms. Rodriguez

First Grade Service Project

 

Our 1st graders are coming together for a district-wide service project to support families in our community through Pillars Community Health. On May 7th, students will assemble Summer Care Kits filled with simple essentials and a handmade card. Our goal is 300 kits, one for each 1st grade student in the district.

We’re inviting all families—1st grade and beyond—to help by donating items through our Amazon Wish List. Contributions of any size make a meaningful difference and help us reach our goal of supporting local children and families this summer! We’ll be accepting donations thru May 1st!

 

 
 

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, students from Congress Park and District 102 will have artwork on display at the West Suburban Consortium for Academic Excellence (WSCAE) 10th annual Student Art Expo. This free public event will be held at Cheney Mansion (220 N. Euclid Avenue, Oak Park, IL) from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Approximately 500 pieces of art created by elementary and middle school students from 56 schools in 14 districts will be featured. Local professional artists will be on hand to view student work and provide feedback. Learn more at wscaeartist.weebly.com.

*Students with work in the show have been notified.
