A Moment with Mrs. O'Donnell

Dear Attea Families,

Our Flyers had a fantastic first week of school! Students are transitioning well back to school and are extremely happy to be back with their friends. On Thursday and Friday, students engaged in NWEA/MAP assessments for reading and math. The results will assist us in setting goals for achievement and growth.

Please save this date for our ATTEA Curriculum Night on September14th!

Go Flyers!

Mrs. O’Donnell

Fall School Picture Day - Monday, 9/11

A flyer with information on ordering will be sent home. Here is a digital version for your convenience. All orders need to be made using the steps and codes detailed in the flyer.

Picture orders must be preordered and prepaid using this site and this event code - 10038801. Ordering will be closed at midnight on the day of Picture Day, Monday, September 11th, so picture packages can be processed. The bulk picture package order approximately three weeks after Picture Day. For those who did not place an order, proofs and Ticket Codes will be delivered with the picture packets.

If the prepay ordering date was missed, families will have a chance to order pictures with their child's personal Ticket Code (not the event code). After placing the order with a personal Ticket Code, picture packages will also be shipped to the Attea.

Food For Thought: Delivery or Drop Off from Vendors Not Permitted

Breakfast is provided or can be purchased every morning in the cafeteria before school until 8:10am. Items from outside vendors are not permitted. We recommend finishing drinks and food purchased outside the school cafeteria's offerings in the morning before entering the building to avoid being tardy to class and keep our building clean.

Lunch can be purchased from the cafeteria, or students can bring lunch from home.

Health regulations and Federal funding guidelines state that food from outside vendors (including Starbucks!) may not be brought into the cafeteria. Students are not permitted to have outside vendor's food and drink dropped off by families or delivery services from restaurants. Only food brought from home or purchased in the cafeteria is permitted in our cafeteria. Students may not bring in food to be shared by a group. This includes birthday treats.

Only water bottles with a tight lid are permitted in classrooms.

Attendance 101

Accurate daily attendance is important to provide for the safety of our students. Click "Attendance 101" to review procedures for absence, late arrival and early dismissal.

Please remember to call the attendance line(847-486-7712) before 8:30am to report an absence, early dismissal or late arrival. Doing so helps to assure proper attendance markings. In the case of Early Dismissals, calling the attendance line early allows for a quick and easy departure from school after a parent or designated adult signs the student out.
