Happy Friday!
Thank you to everyone for coming out for Parent/Teacher Conferences this week! We appreciate having this opportunity to sit down and partner with you to ensure great outcomes for the students of Hoffman!
I also wanted to thank the PTA for providing a wonderful lunch for our teachers today. It was greatly appreciated after a day of meeting with families!
Have a great weekend!

In order to help our students enjoy this holiday in a safe manner, please observe the following guidelines for their time at school. Remember that costumes should be simple and fun in nature, and easy for a child to get on and off without adult assistance.
- Students may bring their costumes to school in a bag, to change into later in the day.
- No weapons (real or look alike) this includes swords, guns, knives, lasers, etc.
No costume masks that cover the entire face (we want to be able to identify students)
- Costumes should not depict violence or gore.
Aerosol spray cans (hair spray, hair color, etc.) are not permitted in school
Costumes should avoid portraying violent characters such as Killer Clowns, “Jason”, axe-‐murderers, etc.
Our children are facing emotional struggles like never before, and as parents/guardians, we often don’t know how to respond effectively. Recent brain science offers new insights into emotional regulation and provides tools to support our children in their toughest times. This workshop will equip parents with strategies to better understand and help their children during challenging moments.
The Debra Gelfand Children’s Foundation has invited Psychologist Doug Bolton to speak to all D34 families and the Glenview community on Wednesday, October 23, at 7pm at Attea Middle School (2500 Chestnut Ave). Interpretation and childcare services are available to in-person attendees.
