Army Trail Update

There will be no school on February 18th and March 11th. For more information, please visit: https://www.smore.com/dbcn3-no-school-2-18-21-3-11-21

Starting Tuesday, Feb 16, all students in grades 1-5 will be required to log on remotely to their teacher’s Zoom or be in-person every day at 8:45. AM In-person and AM Remote students will continue their current schedule. The PM In-Person and PM Remote Learners will be logging on for a short morning meeting to start the day. Where the teachers will take attendance, explain the schedule and asynchronous work. The rest of the schedule remains the same. Thank you for your support!

At Army Trail, we have high expectations, and one of those expectations is students attending school regularly. Attendance is mandatory, and parents have a responsibility to ensure their child attends school daily.

Remote Learners will be considered PRESENT if they are logged into their Classroom/Specials teachers Zoom meeting at the scheduled time and actively participating in the class.

Remote Learners that do not log in, partially attend their Zoom meeting, or do not participate or engage in the lesson will be marked ABSENT and, in some cases, TRUANT.

In severe cases of absenteeism, a home visit may occur by Fullerton staff in addition to the Student Resource Officer from the Addison Police Department. In extreme truancy cases, students will be reported to the DuPage County Truancy Program for poor attendance.

Students that achieved Perfect attendance during the First Trimester received a small blue coin in their package. That coin can be turned into the Army Trail Office any time between 8:00 and 4:00 Monday-Friday in exchange for a new book!

Hey District 4 - are you looking for a way to support Science Night 2021, but aren't able to volunteer to help with the event? Purchase your very own Science Night t-shirt to show your support! T-shirts can be ordered using the link to the ACPTA webstore MemberHub until February 13, and shirts can be picked up the first week in March at the District 4 school of your choice. Proceeds from t-shirt sales will help pay for Science Night materials, and anything raised over the amount needed for Science Night will help fund ACPTA scholarships for Addison Trail graduates. Thank you for your support! The Addison Council PTA

Please help us reach our Goal!

Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand your child’s school conditions and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.

The Illinois 5Essentials Survey for students and teachers will be conducted from February 3, 2021, through April 2, 2021. The Parent Survey Supplement will be conducted during that same timeframe. To take the survey, please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin.

Student attendance continues to be taken on a daily basis, whether your child is attending class in-person or remotely. Therefore, if your family intends on taking a vacation, or you must require your child to stay with a family member outside of the state or country; please be sure to notify us by calling the main office or letting your child’s classroom teacher know. This information is important for us to know so that we can plan accordingly, as we are not able to provide synchronous/asynchronous instruction or related services outside of the state. Our staff is only licensed to provide instruction or services within Illinois. If you have any questions please call our main office at 630-458-2502
