SEL Newsletter
Thanks to the EC-12 team that had dedicated summer and school time to put this together.
Bus Reminder
Just a reminder on the bus that students should NOT be eating any food for safety reasons. Thank you for helping remind your student(s)!
Masks
Please send your child with extra masks in their backpack. Many disposable masks are getting broken or lost at the playground. Regular cotton masks are getting dirty/wet, a new mask would be helpful too. Students are being asked and reminded to put their masks in their lunchbox, pocket, or wear it around their wrist while at the playground, however, they are still getting misplaced or broken we are still going through a large number of disposable masks here. Thank you for your help!
Walk to School
Approximately 400 students from John Stewart Elementary will walk to school on Wednesday, October 6 along with parents, teachers, and the Elburn Police Department. If your student is a bus rider or car rider, we will take the students around the track on the west side of the building before entering the school to participate in the event.
In the United States, International Walk to School Day is expected to include more than
5,000 events across all 50 states. Walkers from the U.S. will join children and adults in 40
countries around the world.
Walk to School Day events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment, and building connections between families, schools, and the broader community.
The event is being organized by John Stewart's PTN
