PROGRESS REPORTS: Progress reports will be going home on the 18th of November. If you have not already signed up, you can monitor your child’s progress while at home. It is a simple procedure, if you have access to the Internet. You can contact the office and Lori will set you up with a password and then you can have access to the progress of your child on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. If you have questions you would like to ask the teacher, but can’t find the time in the day to do so, you may e-mail them at school, and when they have the opportunity they will respond back to you. The same goes for contacting the principal in the office. It is simply the teacher’s first initial, last name @usd211.org. I would be croy@usd211.org.
COATS AND HATS: Fall weather is here, with Winter weather just around the corner. When the temperature gets colder, please send your child to school with hats and gloves, along with their winter coats. Students will need winter boots when the snow starts to land on the ground and stick.
