Each year, schools across Illinois celebrate Respect Week. We take pride in participating here at SPEED! This celebration is derived from the Spread the Word Campaign that originally worked to promote the end of using derogatory terms to describe people with disabilities. This campaign now focuses on inclusion for people with disabilities. In Illinois, we celebrate “Respect for All” each year to promote respect for all students with disabilities.
Congratulations to the Program for Adaptive Learning (PAL) Staff of the month of February!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the incredible students in the Program for Adaptive Learning Room E130, Ms. Jackson's class, have been learning about the heart. Check out their coloring jobs. Nice work class!
Happy Martin Luther King Day !
Welcome to our school!
Check out the amazing art work the students in the Early Learning Center did in honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! As reminder there is no school on Monday in observance of Dr. King's birthday.
