The cold weather has arrived. Please ensure you are sending your children to school with the necessary winter apparel—coats, hats, gloves, etc. All students are responsible for making sure they go outside in the winter clothes they were sent to school in.
If/when there is snow outside, only students with appropriate snow gear - coats, snow pants, and boots will be allowed to play in the snow.
- It's always good to have an extra set of clothes in their locker just in case they get wet from outside or from a spill in the lunchroom.
If you need any help in gathering any of these winter items, please let us know.

Update Information
It is important that parents keep their information updated in Skyward. If there is an emergency we do not want to have the wrong information. Please contact the proper school your student attends and give them any new information that needs to be changed whether it be for yourself, your spouse, another parent from a different address (we can separate addresses when student's are split between households),update new or old emergency contacts and any phone numbers for anyone on your Skyward parent portal. It is your responsibility to keep us informed. Salt Creek 630-832-6122, Stella May Swartz 630-834-9256 and Albright 630-279-6160.
Call the ABSENTEE LINE when your child is absent ☎️
Please make sure to call the Stella May Swartz Absentee line at 630-834-9256, press 2 if your child will be absent or arriving late. The school office will retrieve these messages every morning. If you have any doctor's notes, please send those with your student for the nurse's office.
*** You must leave a detailed reason of the absence.
