The Weekly Update #4

On November 13th we will be celebrating World Kindness Day. The purpose of World Kindness Day is to highlight and encourage good deeds in your community. It also serves as a reminder to all that simple acts of kindness have power and that together, we can all create a kinder world. Students will be engaging in activities that promote kindness around the school.

If you will be out of town during conferences, it is highly recommended that you sign up for a virtual conference on November 25th and 26th.

Please join us Monday, November 11th, at 1:00 pm. Prospect will be honoring all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. There will be a special assembly open to students, staff and Veterans.

Please complete the special Thank You, Hero Veterans Day form so we can add the special member of your family to our Wall of Honor. (If you have completed it in years past, we still have the information.)

Wear RED, WHITE and BLUE on the special day to honor our veterans. Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts are encouraged to wear their uniforms.

We invite parents, grandparents and other special relatives of students or staff, who have served in the Armed Forces, to join us for this special celebration.

Information from previous Smore's.

The school calendar has been established a year in advance and is available on the District website: www.d181.org. While we realize the value of family time, we strongly discourage the planning of vacations during regular student attendance days.

Elementary School Information Related to Planned Absences:

In the event of a planned absence, a parent must communicate directly with the school at least two days prior indicating their intentions. A parent/guardian may email, complete this form, or call the Office with the following information:

1. Name of student

2. reason for the absence, and

3. date(s) the student will be absent

If a planned absence consists of three (3) or more days, assignments and completion dates will be given after the absence as determined by the teacher. Teachers will not be required to re-teach material missed by students.

The Community House will be offering the Before and After the Bell programs at Prospect School to help meet the needs of our families.
