Halloween Party Fun
Please enjoy this video of photos taken on Friday (10/29) during the Halloween Parties!! We were so happy to be able to make new memories during the parties and the parade. Thank you to all of the parents who helped make Friday an extra special day!
Parking Lot Reminders
A friendly reminder to please use your turn signals when entering and leaving the parking lot to ensure all are safe during the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. THANK YOU!! Dressing for the Weather
It's that time of year again when we need to dress in layers. Please remember to dress your children warm with coats, hats, and gloves as they do go outside for a 20-minute recess and a variety of mask breaks anytime it is above 4 degrees real feel temperature. Staff Shout Outs
Thank you to those who have shared a teacher shout-out already! I share the shout-outs with the staff member on a Monday and it is a really great way to start their week off knowing how much they are appreciated. Thank you!! If you would like to give a shout-out to a teacher or staff member, please email me Samantha Aversa (10017@kaneland.org) with a short blurb about a teacher that has gone above and beyond for your student. Thank you so much for your continued support! We Need Your Support
This year we have noticed an increase in students being physical with other students. Pushing, hitting, grabbing, etc in the classroom, hallways, and mainly at recess. We are working with our Behavior Interventions to support these behaviors around the school with a variety of whole-class, small group, and individual interventions but could use your help at home to remind students that the expectation at school is to NOT use physical contact. For example: getting the attention of another student, using their name, and not hitting them. Playing tag outside should be a touch and not pull a student's arm or clothes. Or hitting someone when they are frustrated. Instead, we encourage students to use STOP, WALK, and TALK. When a student feels they are upset or angry they need to use the strategy: stop what they are doing, walk away from that situation, and talk to an adult for more help. We appreciate you working with your child at home to remind them of these expectations.
Masks/Water Bottles
Please remember to send your child with extra masks in their backpacks and a labeled water bottle daily. Our water fountains are still only used to refill bottles.
