In addition to studying the systems in class the students utilized interactive websites in the IMC, prepared by Mrs. Schmuldt, to enhance their understanding of these systems. Students were also given a hands-on presentation by Dr. Hassaballa on the negative effects that drugs, alcohol and over/under eating have on the body systems. As a culminating activity, students used the flip cameras to film commercials on all the information they had learned about their body systems. The students were expected to create their own scripts, props and costumes. Overall, the students did a wonderful job and learned an abundance of information! Click here to watch the videos. School Calendar: 2011 - 2012 School Year Academic Excellence Award - Congratulations to the staff and students of Erickson Elementary School for earning the Academic Excellence Award for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 school years.

The Virtual Backpack is helping 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 Health Website - Click here for state health requirements and for information on the H1N1 virus. District 13 Dashboard - Click here to view District 13's "Dashboard" indicators on system success and progress towards district goals. There are 3 dashboard gauges, each linked to tables with additional data on district student achievement, climate indicators (stakeholder survey results) and resource indicators (budget-related). We welcome your feedback on this new web site feature. Send your comments to DashboardFeedback@sd13.org.
