On Thursday, January 23rd we have a school wide Town Hall. While we will be designing our kindness posts, there's potential for students to be doing some painting. Because the posts are eventually going outside, we are using permanent outdoor paint. Please have your children wear clothes that are appropriate for painting, and that you won't mind if they end up a little more colorful than when they started. We will make the same request for the Town Hall dates in February and March as well.
NEW PLANT BASED FOOD ENTREE OPTION FROM ORGANIC LIFE
Organic Life is offering Plant Based options alongside traditional entrees on our menu.
This will include Plant Based meatballs, burgers, chicken nuggets, chicken patties and chicken tenders.
Grades K-5 menus will reflect the added options and students will be able to choose "Plant Based Entrée E" in the morning when they choose their lunch entrée in the classroom.
We are excited to take this step to provide Plant Based items to the students! If you have any questions please contact Kathie Travis at 331-228-5711 or kathie.travis@d303.org.
District 303 is proud to partner with the Glenbard Parent Series (GPS) to offer our families broader access to information sessions and resources that support their child’s development.
For decades, GPS has been offering free programs that aim to empower and strengthen families, individuals and communities. As a partner organization, District 303 will support promoting upcoming programs and their importance to our local community.
Please call 331-228-2300 to report absences and choose option "1" or email Cheryl Wiley at cheryl.wiley@d303.org
- Messages can be left 24 hours a day.
- Please leave your name, your child's name, phone number, reason for absence and your child's symptoms if ill.
- If you have advance notice of an absence please fill out our prearranged absence form, inform your child's teacher and submit the completed form to the front office. You are allowed up to 5 prearranged absences per school year.
Our parent volunteers are an integral part of our school community. Therefore, we'd love to invite you to spend time with Ferson Creek students during lunch and lunch recess.
Interested? Information and sign up can be found using this link.
Please keep in mind that it is important to keep our students, staff members, and volunteers safe while they are in our schools. Given that, all volunteers must:
- Have your ID ready and sign in at the office to receive your visitor badge.
- EACH YEAR complete a Volunteer Liability Form. If the school does not have one on file for you and you do not provide one, the office will provide one for you when you come for your first day as a volunteer.
If you have any questions, please contact:
Dr. DuCharm (331-228-5920, Alison.DuCharm@d303.org)
