Flanagan-Cornell Unit 74

Celebrating the 67th day of school the only way we know how…
6… 7… 😎✨
Our teachers even pulled off an underground dress-up day to join the 6/7 craze — and they did NOT disappoint!

The Fourth Graders were treated to a guest speaker! Jeremy Duffy, the Deputy Executive Director of the IASB came to share his travel adventures with us. We studied the 7 continents and 5 oceans and Jeremy has been to ALL 7 continents and over 70 countries! We had world cookies and ocean punch too. We enjoyed seeing all of the amazing pictures and locating the places on our map! (Mrs. Harms dressed as Cleopatra since his recent adventure was to Egypt) Thank you, Jeremy! 🌎

Congratulations to Flanagan-Cornell High School on achieving Exemplary Status on our Illinois School Report Card! A special thank you to our Flanagan and Cornell communities, teachers, staff and students for their hard work and determination!

In Illinois, an exemplary report card designation indicates that a school is in the top 10% of all schools, demonstrating high academic performance and no underperforming student groups.

Criteria for Exemplary Status: Schools must meet specific performance indicators to achieve an exemplary designation. This includes having no underperforming student groups that fall below the "all students" group of the lowest-performing schools in the state. Essentially, this means that all student demographics are performing well above the state averages.

Congrats, Kaylee!
