🏫 A Note from your Administration 🏫
Hello, Husmann Parents & Guardians!
"THANK YOU" to everyone that took time out of their Monday or Tuesday to attend conferences! All of our teachers put a lot of time and effort into ensuring a great first Trimester for your child, and we know that you did from the homefront as well! It was so great to see everyone come together to celebrate successes and devise a plan to work on the areas of growth moving forward.
We also want to take a moment to say '"THANK YOU" to our HPTO for the generous breakfast spread and mid-day snack! We really appreciated starting the day off that way!
Lastly, for those celebrating Thanksgiving, we hope you have an enjoyable day with your family, friends and loved ones. The precious time with the special people in our lives is valued by our staff here at Husmann as well! We will see our Cougars again on December 2nd!
Your Partners in Education,
Mr. Sromek, Principal & Ms. Fitzgerald, Assistant Principal
❄️🌡️ Cold Weather Guidelines 🌡️❄️
Due to the many changes in weather this time of year we recommend students are prepared for whatever the day may bring. Please make sure your child is prepared with a warm jacket, hat, gloves, etc. If your child wishes to play in the snow at recess they must wear snow pants and boots or they will be asked to stay on the blacktop. Due to rain or snow it may also be a good idea to keep an extra pair of pants and socks in your child's locker. Please label your child's items. The guidelines established by district 47 during cold weather are as follows:
- 15 degrees or warmer- Unlimited time spent outside
- Zero to 15 degrees above zero- 20 minutes of time spent outside
- Below zero- Students remain indoors
🎄 Husmann’s Mitten Tree 🎄
We are collecting new mittens, gloves, hats and scarves for needy children of all ages. If you’d like to donate a new item, please place it on the tree in the main entrance of Husmann between December 2 - December 13. All collected items will be hung on the fences around Husmann for anyone who needs them!
Your support is greatly appreciated!

🔊 Be Seen & Heard 🔊
During the week of December 9, a brief follow-up video presentation of Be Seen & Heard©, an age and developmentally appropriate sexual abuse awareness and prevention program provided to students in fulfillment of Erin’s Law, will take place during your child’s STEM class. This very short refresher of the main ideas presented earlier this year reminds students how to stay safe and to communicate with their Trusted Heroes. If you prefer your child not participate, you may opt-out by contacting the principal in writing/email. If you have already opted out for this school year, you do not need to do it again.
