Mayar R. is today’s feature on Ask an 8th Grader! Mayar heads to Hinsdale Central in the fall, but some of their favorite memories from Maercker D60 included playing soccer with friends and going on field trips. Mrs. Cook is a teacher that left an impact on Mayar, who plans on becoming a doctor in the future. Mayar shared, “Advice I would give to future students is to make the most of middle school because it goes by fast. Don't be shy to make new friends and do as many activities as you possibly can. Never think you aren't good enough to do something and have fun.”

Alex D. is today’s feature on Ask an 8th Grader!

What is your best memory of your time in Maercker District 60?
Going to IMEC in 7th grade with the Westview Gold Band.

Who is a teacher who made an impact on you during your time here?
Mrs. Ogrodnik made an impact on me because she helped me get better at math and more importantly let me be me during class.

What are you interested in doing for your future?
I want to work as either a software engineer or a theme park engineer.

What advice do you have for students starting at Westview Hills Middle School next year?
When people tell you middle school is scary, they are very wrong. Middle school was the best part of my life, from going on school trips to making new friends. Don't be scared, for middle school is just an extension of elementary school and there is nothing to be scared of.

We are excited to announce that Caity Collins will be joining the team at Maercker Intermediate School in 2026-27 as the new Student Services Coordinator!

With strong experience in the classroom, as an assistant principal, and most recently as the MTSS & SPED Coordinator at River Forest Public Schools, she says the role at Maercker felt like a perfect fit.

“I have always known I wanted to be a teacher and the passion for special education came when I was in high school and worked with a best buddies program,” said Collins. “I was working with a student who had autism and I knew that this is what I wanted to do. My drive and passion has always been finding what works for each student and watching them learn and grow.”
