Weekly reminders…
Breakfast is served from 7:30 - 7:55, if your child wants to participate they need to be at the school before 7:55 am. We have started serving the students upstairs so they don't have to walk to the cafeteria. The goal is to get all of the students to have breakfast.
Please remind your child to bring a water bottle everyday.
Let's make next Tuesday a "Positivi-tee Tuesday!" Wear your favorite sweatshirt or t-shirt with a positive saying! (ex. Be Kind, You are AWESOME!, Kind is the New Cool, etc...)
Do you get a weekly email from Skyward? It comes on Saturday mornings and it displays your child's grades, attendance, and how their assignments were for the week. If you do not receive this and you want to please contact the office.
We have tightened up our attendance policy with automated emails from Skyward. As a reminder...
- Every 3 tardies you will be issued an automatic detention. Detentions are every Wednesday and Thursday till 4:15 pm
- Automated letters will also go out if you miss 5 days. The letter will explain the days you missed. Another letter will go out if you miss 10 days. As per Illinois State Law, students can't miss that 10th day with out further action.

Social Emotional Learning
Move This World Family Resources
We use this in our Academy classes. We purchased the Family account if you would like to log in and explore.
Dear Families,
To support our students’ social emotional needs and mental health, we are using a video-based social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum from Move This World. I’m excited to share that you’ll be able to access this helpful curriculum at home, too!
Social emotional learning is how students learn to process and manage emotions as well as important social skills. It includes everything from goal setting to stress management, and it provides both children and adults with tools they can use to express themselves authentically and safely. SEL helps students build healthy relationships, communicate effectively, and live a meaningful life.

Coffee With The Principal
Coffee with the Principal:
Thank you to all of the parents who joined me on Friday! I appreciate your time!
Please mark your calendars for the last Friday of every month (except holidays) for our monthly Parent Coffee Chats with the Principal. Each month we will have a guest speaker or a specific topic to discuss. These are informal meetings where you can bring your questions for the Principal in an open forum. Parent Coffee Chats will be on the last Friday of each month (unless otherwise noted) from 8:30–9:30 a.m. The Parent-Principal Chats provide parents with monthly opportunities to meet with the principal as a group to discuss topics, initiatives, and issues related to student learning at the schoolwide level. The Chats are a two-way exchange whereby families and school leaders listen, learn, solve problems, and share information with each other. Every month will have a theme that is based on the feedback from the survey.
