Warrior Weekly September 15th

Thank you to the parents who signed our PTO Interest Form, got fingerprinted to be volunteers and/or filled out our Parent Interest Survey! We will be reaching out shortly! If you still want to fill out the survey, go to the bottom of this newsletter for the link! If you want to be a volunteer at AMS, please email me at jenniferreyes@u-46.org to let me know you are willing to have U-46 reach out to you to set up a fingerprinting appt. at the 355 E Chicago office!

Please make sure we celebrate the independence days of all of our proud nations TOGETHER with pride, respect, and love for all that we represent! This is a beautiful month to show the love we have for who we are and the rich traditions we come from!

Warriors and Families-

- Please call your student in at 847-888-5165 for any partial or full day absences. 15 minutes absent equal to a half day absence! This hurts our data and funding! Please get your kiddos to school ON TIME! For all attendance matters like this one, please see the Back to School Night Presentation Link below!

- ALMOST 25% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ALREADY CONSIDERED CHRONICALLY ABSENT! WE WILL BE SENDING MORE AND MORE DATA DURING THE YEAR!

-Every Minute Matters and count toward chronic absenteeism and truancy! This is hurting our kids in the preparation efforts for high school and beyond!

-Do they have a fever? Are they vomiting or something similar? Is there a need for a urgent care clinic/ER visit? Is there any other extreme medical issue that a school nurse is not equipped to handle? If your answer is no, they can most likely come to school! Got questions? Call us!

-Kane County Regional Office of Education is helping up curb our attendance issue and if we solve this, we feel MANY of our obstacles will be OVERCOME! Help us get your kids to school!

Thank you!

#ALLIN... Go Go Warriors!

• When a teacher asks to produce them in class, they need to have it there with them. If they do not they will be sent to the office for us to investigate where it is.
• You may be charged ($300) for the Chromebook in your student fees for LOST CHROMEBOOK UNTIL YOU CAN SHOW US THE COMPUTER THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU/YOUR CHILD.
• If it is broken in any way, we need to fix it before October. Please do NOT avoid showing us these Chromebook issues. They take time to repair. It will eventually be needing to be turned in and additional charges will apply if you allow the breakage to worsen.
• They should NOT be letting their friends use their Chromebook. you are responsible for the Chromebook that was assigned to your child.

Did you miss BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT ON 8/29?

HERE IN THE LINK to all the important info that you missed! Take the time to see how hard we work at Abbott Middle School!

Changes in the Student Handbook will include keeping our students safe in the hallways during passing periods and at the beginning/end of the day. This includes interventions we will have for our students if they cannot pass through the hallways safely. Chasing, hitting, play-fighting, and running are unsafe and we would love to make sure our Warriors are displaying safe behaviors in our halls!

IAR test scores will be going home through the mail with instructions on how to interpret them in the next two weeks!

SEE THE POLICIES that we are enforcing in the STUDENT HANDBOOK LINKED HERE /Spanish Version! Here is the Bell Schedule for your information as well!
