Dawes School serves children in grades pre-primary (special education classes for ages 3 and 4) through fifth grade. Students are organized by grade-level teams. Students receive math and reading instruction in grade-level groupings. Teachers use numerous instruction strategies to challenge children who are working at different levels. Dawes is one of the district's four Two-Way Immersion (TWI) schools for our students with limited proficiency in English (LEP).

The mission of the Chute Middle School community is to educate children. We believe that ALL students can learn, experience success, and aspire to academic excellence. We seek to provide a safe and secure environment that fosters sound social, emotional, and physical development; self discipline; critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning. We believe that these are the foundations necessary for students to become confident and productive citizens in a democratic and ever changing society. The success of this mission requires the commitment, cooperation, and responsibility of staff, parents, students and the community working together.

In pursuit of excellence, we dedicate ourselves to these guiding principles. Evanston Township High School is committed to educating all of its students to their maximum potential. This commitment requires not only respect for the differences in students and staff from widely diverse social, economic, cultural, linguistic, intellectual, racial, educational, and religious backgrounds but also a sustained effort to use that diversity to fulfill its commitment.

Park School focuses on the needs of students who have learning and/or physical challenges. Students are ages 3 - 21 and share the goal of maximizing their strengths toward preparation for an inclusive and happy adult life. The school day is divided into 8 periods: readiness, reading, writing, math, homeliving skills, physical education, vocational skills and job placement. Art and music are also part of the school week. Students can also benefit from related services provided in the school, including speech-language, social work, occuaptional therapy, physical therapy, hearing impairment services and vision impairment services, as indicated on their Individualized Education Plan.

At age 16 many students are placed in jobs in the Evanston community. By the time they graduate, students have experienced several different job placements giving them a choice of opportunities as an adult. Many of Park's alumni continue to work in jobs they had as a student at Park.
