The Weekly Update #4

We’re excited to celebrate Earth Week at Prospect! Earth Day is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about the importance of taking care of our planet and the small actions we can all take to make a big difference.

Check out the Earth Week Overview as we encourage families to join us in celebrating at home by partaking in eating the "Rainbow" challenge.

The school calendar has been established a year in advance and is available on the District website: www.d181.org. While we realize the value of family time, we strongly discourage the planning of vacations during regular student attendance days.

Elementary School Information Related to Planned Absences:

In the event of a planned absence, a parent must communicate directly with the school at least two days prior indicating their intentions. A parent/guardian may email, complete this form, or call the Office with the following information:

1. Name of student

2. reason for the absence, and

3. date(s) the student will be absent

If a planned absence consists of three (3) or more days, assignments and completion dates will be given after the absence as determined by the teacher. Teachers will not be required to re-teach material missed by students.

The Community House will be offering the Before and After the Bell programs at Prospect School to help meet the needs of our families.
