We hope this edition of our newsletter finds you in good health! As we move further into the second trimester, we've just completed our winter round of benchmarking. This provides us with valuable data on your child's progress and highlights areas where extra support might be needed. If your child qualifies for intervention in either social-emotional or academic areas, we will reach out to you. Also, your child's teacher is excited to share progress updates with you during conferences at the end of the month.

At Henking, our teachers are committed to ongoing professional growth to better support our students and meet the goals in our School Improvement Plan. In January, we focused on professional development in areas such as strategies to support our Multilingual students, executive functioning, and culturally responsive practices. We're thankful for the opportunity to enhance our school improvement efforts through meaningful learning experiences.

Valentine's Day will be celebrated on February 14th. Be sure to check your child's classroom newsletter for information.

As we often experience cold temperatures in February, please ensure your child is prepared for various weather conditions. We will go outside whenever the wind chill is -10 degrees or above, so please send your child with boots (and a change of shoes), hats, snow pants, gloves, and other necessary winter gear each day.

Lastly, we have been receiving reports that students on some bus routes are not following our bus behavior expectations. While behaviors continue to be addressed at school we are asking your support in reinforcing expectations. Please take a moment to review bus expectations with your child using the resource below.

We appreciate your continued partnership!

Patty and Becca

Be sure to check the weather report to make sure your child has everything they need to be warm and dry!

Please note that if there is snow on the ground, recess is as follows:

• Boots and snowpants - OK to play in the fields
• No boots - must stay on the blacktop

If your child wears boots to school, don't forget to pack gym shoes.

PLEASE!!

This time of year brings with it a lot of clothing! Please label your child's coat, hat, boots, etc. to make returning any lost items back to the student easier.

Dental health is an important part of a child’s overall health – we love to see our students’ healthy smiles!

This spring, District 34 is bringing Orland Park Dental Services (OPDS) to our schools to provide dental exams to any of our students who need them. As a reminder, the State of Illinois requires students in grades K, 2, and 6 to submit proof of a dental exam – but these in-school appointments with OPDS are open to any and all students! They provide dental services to children on public aid as well as those with private dental insurance.

The exams are provided by caring, licensed dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants with state-of-the-art portable dental equipment. OPDS has been providing in-school dental services since 1999 and their healthcare professionals ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable environment within the schools.

Parents and guardians who complete the consent form do not have to join their child at the appointment (but you are welcome to come in). If you have questions or need assistance, contact District Nurse Shari Stadler.
