Hello Ivy Hill Families!

Another Halloween is behind us - we hope all of you that made it out to the parade enjoyed seeing all the cute & creative costumes! Our sincere thanks to all the Room Parents for providing such fun parties for our students!

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, November 4th. Please remember that the conferences are only 20 minutes long so try to be on time.

Tuesday, November 5th is Election Day and the school district is closed as buildings are being used for voting.

We're holding our annual Veteran's Day Breakfast and Assembly on November 11th. If you have a Veteran in your family (or a friend of your family) please sign them up for this very special event!

"Ivy Gives Back Week" is our annual collection week that helps us teach our students the joy of giving to others less fortunate than ourselves. This special week will take place from November 11th - 15th. We'll be collecting new and gently used winter clothing as well as non perishable items for our Veterans and Active Military. The details are listed below.

We are so fortunate to have a wonderful PTA (Parent/Teacher Association) here at Ivy Hill. Please consider joining their program and participating in all the great activities they bring to our students! Check out their weekly newsletter The PTA Happenings!

Please read through this newsletter as there is a lot of important information for you!

Stay safe, stay kind, and stay courageous!

Scott & Monique

We'll be hosting our Parent/Teacher Conferences on Monday, November 4th. Please make every effort possible to meet with your child's teacher. Remember that these conferences are only 20 minutes long so please try to be on time! When you enter the school, go directly to your teacher's classroom.

The staff and students of Ivy Hill would like to invite all our Veterans to a Celebration Breakfast and Assembly at 8:30AM on Monday, November 11th. If you have a family member or friend that you'd like to invite, please click here for more. information.

As you are cleaning up from your Halloween adventures, please take a look at those costumes. If

you'd like to get them out of your basement, Ivy Hill would like to take them from you!! We're desperately in need of larger sizes but will take smaller sizes as well. New and gently used are welcome. We'll be collecting through November 15th.

As the season of "Giving" begins, we try to teach our students about giving to those less fortunate than ourselves. Every year Ivy Hill students collect new and gently used winter coats, boots, hats, scarves and gloves. The recipient of our goods is "Partners of our Community" (POC) on Rand Road in Arlington Heights. We'll start our collection on Monday, November 11th and end on Friday, the 15th. We're very thankful for our PTA that is working with us on this project.

In addition to our Veteran's Day breakfast and assembly we'll be collecting non perishable items for our Veterans and Troops. Take a look at the flyer below to see what is needed. The students will have a chance to write a letter to an Active Service Member. Our troops say that the hand written letters are the best part of their "Care packages"! If you'd like your students to celebrate a Veteran in your family, please have them decorate a "Star" to line our "Hall of Fame" in the commons.

Our Picture Retake Day will be November 8th. If you missed Picture Day or didn't like your child's photo, please send them for Retake Day. If you have photos from the company, please send those with your child on Retake Day. More information will be coming soon.

Every day that your child is not in school, is late or is leaving early the office needs to know!! There are two ways to notify us and they are available 24 hours a day!

1. Our GOOGLE FORM - just write in the information - you don't have to talk to anyone!

2. Our ATTENDANCE HOT LINE - Just call 847-398-4275 (the main number) and press 1 - leave us a message.

If you don't call, we are required to call you so PLEASE remember to call your child in absent, late or leaving early!!

Anything can happen during the school day - no matter the age of your child! From being caught in the rain, to a failed science experience, things happen! Please pack a change of clothes in each child's backpack for them in keep in case of a "wardrobe malfunction"!

Be sure that all clothing items are marked clearly with your child's name.

We have student messengers that deliver late items every morning. To ensure your late items reach your student, try to have them in the office by 9:15. We request that you include your child's first and last name and their teacher's name on each item. We do have post it notes here in the office. Once it is marked with your child's first and last name, please place the item on the colorful bench! Just a reminder...we do have water fountains all over the school so water bottles are not mandatory!!

Please print a copy of the calendar so that you will know when our holidays occur!

All students at Ivy Hill will be given a Lunch Card that will be remain at school. The lunch card acts like a debit card - each time a student purchases a meal, that amount is deducted from their account.

AHSD25 Food & Nutrition Services Department uses the Mealtime Online Payment System for families to conveniently deposit money and monitor their student(s) lunch account balance.

If you prefer, you can send cash or a check (please make out checks to AHSD25 and write your child's name in the memo). At elementary schools, money is turned into the school office.

We encourage all families to use the mealtime payment system to monitor their child’s balance. Even if you choose to pay for meals with cash/check, you can monitor your students' account online. Once you have established an account for your child, please check the box to have an email reminder sent to you when your balance is low.

You will need your child's Student ID to set up an account - that number is located on the Teacher letter you received on 8/22. Or, call the school office for help.

Elementary School Menus can be found here. The cost is $3.25.

Elementary Breakfast Menus can be found here. The cost is $1.75. Breakfast can be purchased from 8:45am - 9:05am. Please have your child to the the Lunch Window as soon as they arrive at school.

The school does not provide snacks. Please send your child with a fruit or vegetable for their morning snack.
