Hello,
Letters were sent home on Wednesday to any families whos child is missing at least one health requirement that is DUE BY 10/15. Please check their backpack for the letter that contains specific information of what is missing.
It is very important that the health requirements are completed within the next 2 weeks. In addition to requiring these forms, the State of Illinois also requires that children who do not have these completed by 10/15 must be excluded from school until requirements are met.
To ensure your child will not need to be excluded from attending school, your prompt attention to this is appreciated. If possible, please turn in the forms by Friday, 10/11 since there is no school on Monday the following week. If you have any questions, please let me know contact Christine Knight @ cknight@cusd201.org
NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE IN THIS MATTER.

2 x 4, 1 x 12 or 1 x 8 pieces of wood. Scraps no less than 3ft please! You can contact Mrs. Stobl at astrobl@cusd201.org to make drop off arrangements.

The Student Council is kicking off “Socktober.”
So why SOCKTOBER? Because every night in the United States an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets and need simple things, like socks, to help get them through the night. Plus, the number one needed clothing item for those in need is new socks, but people very rarely ever donate new socks to the homeless!
Donate some new socks or gently used socks to the box in the front office. We will be collecting all month long!
