Vision and Hearing Test
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Vision and hearing screening will start during the week of September 18. Hearing will be performed on all students in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades. Vision will be performed on all students in second grade. Vision and hearing will also be performed annually on all
children in special education, children new to the district, and teacher/parent referrals. If your student wears glasses please make sure the glasses are being brought to school. Please remember vision screening is not a substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye doctor. Please contact Charity Richardson, the school nurse, if you have any questions or would like further information regarding vision/hearing screenings.Mrs. Richardson
3rd Grade Parents
Dear Parents,
During our recent iPad swap for 3rd-grade students, we noticed that some chargers and charging cables were not returned. As these items are essential components of our iPad program, we kindly ask that your child return the missing charger and/or charging cable to their teacher as soon as possible.
- Missing Item Fee: The cost for a missing charger or charging cable is $19 each. If you are unable to locate these items, the associated fee will be applied to your account.
- Return Deadline: Please have your child return the charger and/or charging cable to their teacher by Monday, September 9th.
If you have already returned these items, please disregard this message.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Pre-Planned Absences
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:
Name of student
reason for the absence, and
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.
