Stickney District and Curriculum
Lyons Elementary School District and Morton High School District follow the Illinois Learning Standards as their curriculum in all core academic subjects. The districts pride themselves in providing a quality, competitive education to all students. To make this happen, the school maintains a safe, supportive environment where students feel capable of succeeding. The school provides a rigorous, challenging curriculum but also offers support for students. Teachers can modify their lesson plans to fit the individual needs of their students, whether to challenge an advanced student or help a lagging student catch up to grade level.
We currently cover the following Stickney-area school districts: Lyons Elementary School District 103 and J. Sterling Morton High School District 201.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Stickney District Curriculum
The curriculum used in both districts focuses on critical thinking skills, analytical writing skills, science literacy, and mathematics skills. Students are challenged to read different types of texts in varying formats and are asked to respond with well-reasoned and supported essays. They are taught about the craft and structure of literature and the use of literary devices, and use this knowledge to support their interpretation of a text. They also learn how to properly cite and reference texts in their independent work.
In Science, students examine the natural world and lessons are focused on real-world applications. They learn important content knowledge and also the process of scientific inquiry and how hypotheses are proved or disproved. In math classes, students study concepts at a greater depth so they gain a better understanding of the concepts. They are required to learn mental math and also be able to describe their mathematical reasoning. The goal is to give students the skills they need to be competitive members of our global economy.

Chalk Talk: College Applications
There are many types of college applications with various deadlines, but the reality is that most of them are the same, other than the deadlines. They all require a transcript and the application, itself, which is usually just biographical information. There’s usually an essay on the application, and many colleges will have several essays of varying lengths, with topics ranging from very general, “Why do you want to attend?” type prompts, to more specific ones having to do with the applicant’s background, experiences, etc. Most colleges require from one to three teacher recommendations. Some require a resume, and even if they don’t require it, it’s a useful tool. Not every college requires standardized test scores.
