Bulldog Families - Thank you to all that were able to join us for conferences. We had an amazing turnout and appreciate your partnership.

Students will go outside for recess when the feels-like temp is above 20 degrees. Please ensure your child is dressed in warm layers and is wearing a coat, scarf, gloves, etc. so we keep them warm while playing outdoors. If it is too cold and we are indoors, students will still have fun activities to choose from during recess time.

The Paw Party winners are TEAM SILVER!!! We are so proud of all of our students as it was a tight race, but Team Silver wins the prize this time.

Thank you for the outstanding response for calls for volunteers. We are so appreciative of everyone who has turned up for mural restoration and shelving in the library. We are fortunate to have a supportive PTA and community!

Kudos to you, car line families! Pulling all the way forward at arrival is definitely getting better. We are seeing less u-turns and dropping off on the wrong side of the street.

Please respect the transportation change process by communicating ALL transportation changes via the teacher and office before 2:30pm on full days and 11:30 on half days. Emails or Dojo messages to only teachers at the end of the day OR calling/texting your child to do something different at dismissal is causing a lot of confusion and concern. Thank you for your cooperation.

In the event we have inclement weather or need to call for e-learning, there is important information you and your child will need in order to participate. Please review the bullet points below and the homeroom schedules specific to your child(ren).

• If an e-learning day is called by HSD 153, Churchill will also send out notification. This notification will be followed by additional information from your child's teacher. Please be on the lookout for these communications so the day runs smoothly for everyone.
• If your child will be absent, please call 708-647-2200.
• Students will be logging into live instruction as their schedule indicates. Attendance/Check-In, Math, Reading, PE, and Specials are all live instructional blocks. Students must be logged into their school issued device and on their teacher's respective Teams page to access the correct meeting link. Tech and teacher teams will be working with students to ensure they have this information and have practiced logging in.
• Following lunchtime, students will have independent assignments on Teams and extra skills practice tasks while the teacher is available by way of Teams or email (Office Hours). Students must check their teachers' respective Teams pages (including PE and Specials) and complete work that is assigned.
• If a student does not show progress on their assigned work, the homeroom teacher will be checking-in before the end of the independent work block. Additional assistance is also available to those students who receive special education services, EL, intervention, etc. These staff members will connect with students via Teams or are available for requests for assistance.
• Staff members have a block of plan time during which they are collaborating with peers or preparing for instruction. They may not be immediately available during this time period.
• On an e-learning day, email or classroom platform (Remind, Dojo, etc.) is the best way to communicate as there will not be staff onsite to answer telephones.
• If you have technical difficulties, you may submit a tech ticket at this link: Family Tech Ticket Link
