Announcing District 13’s Virtual
Backpack - School District 13 is introducing a new tool for
distributing information to parents which will help us “go
green” by allowing approved non-profit community organizations
to post flyers online instead of making and distributing hundreds
of paper copies. Doing so, will also save the district and community
members a tremendous amount of time and money.
Beginning in January 2010, you will be able to access the “Virtual
Backpack” link located on the District website and view materials
appropriate to your child listed by school and grade level. We hope
you find this tool helpful!

District 13 is Recognized for Achievements
- School District 13 has been recognized by ISBE for the
6th consecutive year for fiscal responsibility for having a Comprehensive
Annual Financial Rating of 4.00 (on a 4-point scale). This score
is based upon five factors: fund balance to revenue ratio (67%),
expenditures to revenue ratio (97%), days cash on hand (249.69),
percent of short-term borrowing maximum remaining (100%), and percent
of long-term debt margin remaining (93.32%).
District 13 has also been named as a winner of the SchoolSearch
Bright Red Apple Award, also for the 6th consecutive year. Only
10% of Illinois schools have received this distinction. This award,
too, has five criteria: level of student achievement, percent of
teachers holding advanced degrees, average teacher salary, pupil/teacher
ratio, and per pupil expenditure / operating cost.
Erickson Elementary School has been named by ISBE and the Illinois
Interactive Report Card at NIU as a 2008
Illinois Honor Roll School for Academic Excellence. Erickson
is one of 288 Illinois schools to earn this distinction for having
at least 90% of its students meet or exceed state standards on the
ISAT each of the last three years.
