Principal:   Mr. Jeffrey Hildreth          Hello and welcome to the Anderson School web site. My name is Mr. Hildreth and I have been the Principal of Anderson School for over 11 years. Anderson School is a fantastic school with a long history of excellence and caring for all students. We have grades kindergarten through 5th grade at our school. We have a Bilingual Program for kindergarten through 2nd grade and we will be adding sections each year up to 5th grade.  We also have New Pathways program for 2nd and 3rd grades. The school was built in 1952 and additions were built in 1958, 1975, 1995, and the most recent addition was in 2000. We are located in a very quiet semi-rural area with the Tekawitha Forest Preserve across the street.                Our students score very high on state and national tests. Please see our State Report Card at http://iirc.niu.edu/. Go to the site and then type Anderson in the box and click Go. At this interactive site you will find information about our Illinois State Achievement Test results, a school profile, our student population, our teachers, and district financial status. We are proud of our students, our staff and our community. Anderson is a fantastic school. We welcome visitors at Anderson School. If you would like to visit our school, please call and arrange a time to visit. We will take you on a tour of the school, visit in a classroom of the grade level you need to see, and provide you with grade level curriculum information. We provide a wide range of services at Anderson School. We have services for Special Education Resource, Reading Specialists, English Language Learners, Bilingual classes, and Speech and Language. We have a nurse on site all day, programs for advanced students, and band and orchestra classes. We also have a hot lunch program served every day. We have a very active parent involvement program. Our PTO has monthly meetings and organizes many evening programs. We have a parent volunteer system where parents work in a classroom or we have jobs where parents work in the staff workroom making copies for teachers. We can accommodate most any schedule and we enjoy the help. So again, welcome to the Anderson School web site. We hope you enjoy the information about our school and that we hear from you soon.
