Activities

SMART Math Program

SMART will be offering a 6-week fall program to give current 2nd through 5th graders an extra boost in math, in the early evenings starting the week of October 10th. New this year based on feedback from parents and teachers: SMART will have both “regular” and “advanced” math classes this fall. The “regular” classes will practice and reinforce grade-level material and the advanced classes will go beyond grade-level material. Sessions will be taught by D97 teachers over Zoom. Students from any elementary school in Oak Park and River Forest are welcome. Total cost is $72 for the full term. Financial aid is available for those who need it.

Join the nearly 300 students who participated in the SMART program last year. For more information and to register by Friday, September 23, visit www.smart-oakpark.org.

Curriculum Night

Please join us INSIDE the school for curriculum night on Wednesday, August 31st! Childcare will be provided. Please note that because this is an indoor event, masks are required.

Please also be on the lookout for room parent sign-ups during the event! If you want to get more involved with your student’s classroom, this could be a great opportunity. Read more HERE about what the room parent role involves and reach out to Jessica Royer Ocken with any questions!

We hope to see you on Wednesday!

K-2 Sunday Meet-ups!

Is your student new to Irving or just looking to meet some new friends? Come meet some of their potential new classmates at the school playground on a Sunday afternoon before the start of school! These very casual come-as-you-are meetups begin at 3:30pm for kindergarten students, 4:30pm for incoming first graders and 6:30pm for incoming second graders. We hope to see you there!

Join the Summer SMART Program

SMART will be offering a 7-week summer program to give current 2nd through 5th graders (rising 3rd through 6th graders) a preview of key parts of the next grade’s curriculum, starting the week of June 20th. Sessions will be taught by D97 teachers over Zoom and are meant to supplement in-school instruction. The curriculum for each session will be stand-alone, so students won’t be lost if they miss a session. Students from any elementary school in Oak Park and River Forest are welcome. Total cost is $72 for the full term. Financial aid is available.

Join the nearly 200 students who participated in the SMART program this year. For more information and to register by May 31, visit www.smart-oakpark.org.
