Healthy Habits

At South School, students play games to promote teamwork, fitness, and social skills. This supports physical health and wellness while fostering our Panda Pride.

Playful Pandas

Our newly redesigned play space is a hit with first grade students, offering updated playground equipment and a natural landscape that fosters creativity and exploration. At South School, we view play as an essential element in advancing both teaching and innovation.

Green Thumbs

Students in the Nature Exploration Club at South School harvested a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots, kale, Swiss chard, mini pumpkins, tomatoes, and peppers. This hands-on experience is a key way we nurture curiosity and engagement in our students.

Unlocking Curiosity and Innovation

At South School, we eagerly welcome families back to school, excited to nurture curiosity and innovation in our youngest learners. Our dedicated educators and staff are committed to inspiring not only our students but also their families, ensuring a collaborative approach to education. This is how we commit to advancing learning and fostering innovation.

Trusted Partnerships

We value deepening connections between school and home as fundamental to nurturing the whole child. Effective communication and collaboration between parents and staff are pivotal, ensuring that every student benefits from a united support system. 

Nurturing Hearts and Minds

At South School, we emphasize wellness and belonging alongside academic excellence, recognizing that skills like resilience, empathy, and respect are crucial for real-world success. This holistic approach equips our learners for life’s exciting opportunities.

Celebrating Our Community

In the late 1970’s, the Glencoe Board of Education chose to reorganize the district from four neighborhood schools to three age-centered buildings. This decision was based on the belief that the District is best served by bringing together all students of a grade level. 

District 35 educates the whole child to...

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

…maximize creative and critical thinking skills.
…fully challenge and realize physical, social, and cognitive abilities.
…nurture unique learning styles, interests, strengths, and pace.
…provide a solid foundation for the next phase of education and for learning throughout life.

Celebrating Our Community

District 35 views education as experiences best served by coordinated efforts of parents and the school staff.  Parent involvement through generous support of the Glencoe PTO, volunteers in classrooms and ongoing communication with teachers and school personnel are welcomed and encouraged.  Teachers in grade level and/or subject area teams work closely side-by-side in their planning, decision-making, implementation, and assessment.  Together, we nurture our greatest natural resource – our children.

Growing Every Heart and Mind

The District 35 curriculum is broadly based, reflecting an interest in the academic, social, emotional, artistic, and physical development of children. Problem-solving and decision-making are encouraged through the curriculum and informal situations, such as recess or class meetings in the lower grades and integrated activities at the upper levels.
