Please do not reply to this email or any sent from our mass communication system. These are noreply products. A few families have attempted to email me using this email or replying to this email, but fortunately they also included their teachers so it was received and we noticed the noreply email which was intended for the principal.

At Fox Ridge, each student will achieve grade level standards in literacy, math and social emotional and behavioral skills.

This week was a full week, Monday night we celebrated our primary literacy night! Parents and kids attended this great night of learning reading and enjoyment. Thank you to all the families that attended. Monday we will pay our respect to Veteran's with a brief all school assembly.

I also wanted to congratulate our Girls on The Run participants, they completed a 5K last Sunday. Way to go Girls!

As part of our school wide behavior incentives, individual students earn Golden Paws from teachers for meeting our behavior expectations of being respectful, responsible and safe. The Paws are entered into a raffle drawing that takes place on Fridays during lunch time. Students are recognized by their peers and are able to select a small prize. If you have items you would like to donate (stickers, croc charms, pokemon cards, etc), please send them in to Mrs. Patty Griffith, our Student Support Interventionist.

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.

CHANGE OF CLOTHES:

Please remember to send a weather appropriate change of clothes to school with your student.

Also, we need donations of gently used girls and boys clothes sizes 5/6 and 7/8 to keep in the health office. Pants, shirts and underwear are desperately needed.

ILLNESS:

If your student is diagnosed with an illness or infection, please notify the health office. We are tracking our students' health closely to watch for any trends in the classrooms. This includes, but not limited to, respiratory illnesses, COVID, Flu, Pink Eye, and Strep. We appreciate any information you give us regarding your student in the event they are ill.

Please remind your student to cover their coughs and sneezes and wash their hands often.

The CDC recommends that people with strep throat stay home from work, school, or daycare until they meet the following criteria:

• They are no longer feverish
• They have been taking antibiotics for at least 12–24 hours

People with strep throat should also:

• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve
• Wash hands frequently
• Wash cups, utensils, and other items that have been touched by an infected person

We're entering the final week of the toy drive through Big Hearts of Fox Valley, which provides holiday gifts for D303 children in need. New, unwrapped items can be dropped off in the cardboard boxes at the school's front and back entrances until Thursday, November 14. Next week's theme is Sports Bonanza: balls, bats, nets, hockey sets, dartboards, lawn games, and scooters.

Join us for our first Family Movie Night of the year on Friday, November 15 at 6 p.m. in the gym. Students have voted for Wonka (PG; 116 minutes) to be shown. We encourage families to wear pajamas and bring blankets to sit on. Adults may also bring lawn chairs to aid comfort, but we ask that they are placed in an area that does not disrupt the viewing experience of young audience members. Concessions and school blankets will be available for purchase in the adjoining community room. This is not a drop-off event; all students must be accompanied by an adult. Be sure to get there early, as the movie will start promptly at 6 p.m. RSVP.
