deLacey Update

Happy New Year and welcome back to school! We hope everyone had a wonderful break and a great start to 2025. We are excited to ring in the New Year at deLacey, so be sure to read below for more about our upcoming parade.

Returning to school means we will be reminding our students of our school expectations and also working on keeping track of our belongings. With the colder weather, there are more items of clothing for our students to keep track of. We work hard on having each student put their items in their cubbies or in their backpacks, but there are times that students misplace them. We request families label all student clothing so we can return items quickly if this happens. If your student is missing an item, please contact their teacher to check the deLacey lost and found.

As a reminder, we will begin Erin's Law next week with our classrooms. For more information on Erin's Law, please click here. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to the deLacey administration.

We will have a virtual parade, "Ringing in the New Year," on January 17, 2025 to celebrate using our school-wide expectations, "be helpful, be kind, and be safe."

Please note, that this is a student-only event and will be live-streamed to families.

• Please be patient and respectful to all staff, families, and community workers.

• Be sure to have your child ready (hat, gloves, coat, and backpack on).

• Late arrivals must park in a parking spot. Parents must then escort students to the main office for drop off and sign them in.

• Please be aware that animals, specifically dogs can become excitable during drop off. If this is an issue, it will be dealt with on an individual case by case basis.

• Need a car seat? Please reach out to the front office!

As we work together to ensure a smooth and successful school year, we want to remind families of the importance of being ready for the bus each morning and being available for after school pickup.

To keep our transportation schedule running smoothly and ensure all children arrive at school safely and on time, it is essential that your child is fully dressed and prepared to board the bus five minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s bus schedule or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the deLacey Family Education Center at 224-484-2300. We’re here to help!
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us provide the best possible start and end to each day for your child.

Brrr….it’s cold and flu season! We have seen an increase in respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses since December. Please keep your child home if they have new respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, nausea/ vomiting, low energy, or are just not acting like themselves before school. Return to school guidelines state that children should have either resolution or significant improvement of their symptoms before returning to school. Even “just a cold” can be easily transmitted to our teachers and friends and cause them extended absences. Let’s keep our school healthy together!

Does anyone have any donations??

We need pants sizes 2-6 for boys and girls who have accidents at school. If anyone has pants in this size range that they are looking to donate, the school health office will happily take them. Thank you!

If you believe your child has lost and item, please reach out to your child's teacher. Thank you.
