Message from Mrs. Shostachuk

Dear Central Road Families,

It is hard to believe September is winding down. As we head into October, we look forward to continued teaching and learning focused on growth and differentiation. The fall weather this time of the year reminds us of how much change and growth our students will experience over the course of a school year.

Thank you for taking time to read our communication. If you have any questions or concerns related to the information shared, please feel free to reach out at any time. We too thank you all in advance for your flexibility, patience, and partnership. Our door(s) continue to always be open to listen and work together. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, September 30th. Please enjoy your weekend.

Mrs. Shostachuk

School Safety Drills

The safety of our students is always a top priority at our school. Our goal is not only to provide a safe environment, but to also prepare our students, staff, and school community to know how to respond if a crisis arises. To that end, each year, schools are required by Illinois School Code to conduct safety drills.

This year, as in years past, we will do 2 lockdown drills, 3 fire drills, 1 bus evacuation drill, and 1 shelter in place drill. For lockdown drills, parents have the option to opt their student out of the drill. If you would like to opt your student out of lockdown drills, please complete the Safety Drill Opt-Out Form. Our first lockdown drill is tentatively set for 9/30. We too will hold a shelter in place drill on 10/4. We completed our first fire drill on 9/13 and bus evacuation practice took place on 9/16 upon arrival to school.

Parent/Student Handbook

Each year we update our Parent/Student Handbook to provide families with a quick reference to all things District 15. If you haven’t already done so, please make some time to review the Parent/Student Handbook.

Please review policy information related to cell phones and wearable watches on page 23-all electronic devices (including wearable devices) must be kept powered-off or silenced and out-of-sight during the regular school day.
