The Eagle’s Landing

Hello Ivy Families,

We've had a great first full week here at Ivy Hill! The students are learning so many new things...buying lunch, riding the bus and getting from their classrooms to other parts of the school building! It's wonderful to see so much enthusiasm!

The newsletter has LOTS of important news and dates so please read through and if you have any questions, give us a call!

Stay safe, stay kind and stay courageous!

The Health Office would like to remind all parents/guardians that if your child is sick, please keep them at home. If your child vomits, has diarrhea or has a fever, they cannot return to school until they are 24 hours symptom free without medication. Please remind your children to wash their hands often, drink plenty of water and get lots of fresh air and exercise! We want happy and healthy kids here at Ivy Hill School!

Please print this calendar and put it on your fridge!! District 25 and District 214 (the high schools) have different holidays so please be sure to send your child on the appropriate days!

We hope you enjoyed Curriculum Night yesterday with your child's classroom teacher. Please take a couple of minutes to meet some more of our Ivy Staff who make our school such an amazing place to learn and grow!

It's not too late to register for the District's elementary world language option, Fun Fluency, for the 2022-2023 school year.

Fun Fluency will offer before or after-school instruction in Spanish and French for all elementary students who sign up. The fee for the year is $295 for one day-a-week instruction throughout 25 weeks.

For more information and to register for Fun Fluency, visit their website (www.funfluency.com) and check out your school's flyer below:

Feel free to reach out to the District's World Language Coordinator, Andrea Luessow (aluessow@sd25.org), with any questions.

Please send a change of clothes along with underwear and socks in a plastic bag to your child's teacher. We do not have a lot of space to keep extras in our nurse's office and you just never know when kids will need a clean shirt or pair of socks!

Please mark all personal items with your child's name. Lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, coats, etc. This is for all grades!!

Ivy Hill is lucky to have Mrs. Khan and Mrs. Moncada back this year to serve breakfast and lunch to all of our students!

Breakfast will be served at 8:45 each morning - the cost is $1.75. If your child rides the bus, have them come directly to the commons when they arrive at school.

The easiest way to pay for breakfast and lunch to set up an account at MyMealTime.com. Call the office for your child's student ID number. You can also send cash. Please put the cash in an envelope with your child's name on it.
