iReady Testing Scores:

We have good news to share about our school’s iReady testing. Thanks to the dedication of our students, committed teachers and staff, and the support of our families, our school has achieved exceptional academic results this year. Our test scores show that St. Helen School outperforms our neighborhood CPS schools in both reading and math, making us a top tier school in West Town - Ukrainian Village.

SHS students had a median growth of 141% growth in reading and 100% growth in math this year. This achievement is a testament to our school’s mission and commitment to academic excellence. Thank you to our entire school community for making this success possible, and we will continue to aim high in the 2025-2026 school year.

Our SHS Glow Run event today was amazing! Thank you to all of our volunteers who made this an awesome experience for our students. Thank you to our teachers who gave our students two weeks of fun with special classroom rewards. Another big thank you to our families who reached out to friends and relatives to get pledges for our students. We receive pledges from 37 states and 10 different countries, and 79% of donations came from outside the parent community.

Drum roll please...we raised over $38,000 for St. Helen! We achieved all our stretch goals and wore GLOW GLAM gear during the run, plus the students will enjoy an ICE CREAM TRUCK and BOUNCY CASTLES on Field Day where they will also get to turn me into a HUMAN SUNDAE!  MyBooster.com, our fundraising platform, will remain open for 1 more week for any last minute donations. A final round of prizes will be delivered after Easter break. Don't forget to use your Sky Zone jump pass by the end of June.
