Message from Mrs. Shostachuk
Dear Central Road Families,
This past week felt more like summer than fall and we loved it! We enjoyed the extra sunshine. Thank you for attending Parent Orientation Night. We appreciate your partnership as building a strong home-school connection is important to us. We hope you learned a great deal about your child's classroom environment. Students also wrapped up their fall benchmark assessments (fastbridge and NWEA map). You can access your child’s percentile scores in early-October through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
Thank you for taking time to read our communication. If you have any questions or concerns related to the information shared, please feel free to reach out at any time. We too thank you all in advance for your flexibility, patience, and partnership. Our door(s) continue to always be open to listen and work together. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, September 23rd. Please enjoy your weekend.
Mrs. Shostachuk

PBIS Celebration: Monday, September 23rd
Our first PBIS celebration will take place on Monday, September 23rd pending good weather. Students will have an extra recess, be able to play outside, and have a popsicle. We will be serving the same popsicles shared at Meet the Teacher. If the weather is not favorable, we will move it to a later day in the week. We are excited to celebration together. Students have been working hard on being respectful, responsible, and safe at school while focusing on their academics.
Central Road T-Shirt
All students at Central Road will receive a t-shirt this school year. Those who were not able to get one at Meet the Teacher will receive one this upcoming week via school backpack. Thank you for completing the google request form that was shared a few weeks ago. Please keep an eye out for a t-shirt coming home this week if your child did not receive one yet-thank you

School Safety Drills
The safety of our students is always a top priority at our school. Our goal is not only to provide a safe environment, but to also prepare our students, staff, and school community to know how to respond if a crisis arises. To that end, each year, schools are required by Illinois School Code to conduct safety drills.
This year, as in years past, we will do 2 lockdown drills, 3 fire drills, 1 bus evacuation drill, and 1 shelter in place drill. For lockdown drills, parents have the option to opt their student out of the drill. If you would like to opt your student out of lockdown drills, please complete the Safety Drill Opt-Out Form. Our first lockdown drill is tentatively set for 9/30. We completed our first fire drill on 9/13 and bus evacuation practice took place on 9/16 upon arrival to school.
Drop Off & Pick Up Table
Our drop off and pick up table is located in our school foyer. Please feel free to use this table to drop off/pick up items, school supplies, lunches etc.. Please note your child's first and last name and grade level on any items. Thank You
School Visitors
We love our school visitors. If you are coming into the building, please stop to check into our school office for assistance FIRST. If you are here to stay and volunteer, please bring a photo ID as well. All school visitors will receive a red visitor lanyard and sticker to wear. This is a visual reminder to all in our building that you have been welcomed in our school office. Please also kindly remain in the area you been designated to be in during your time at Central Road. Thank you for helping keep our building safe and secure during your stay with us. We appreciate all that you do for our school community.
Parent/Student Handbook
Each year we update our Parent/Student Handbook to provide families with a quick reference to all things District 15. If you haven’t already done so, please make some time to review the Parent/Student Handbook.
Please review policy information related to cell phones and wearable watches on page 23-all electronic devices (including wearable devices) must be kept powered-off or silenced and out-of-sight during the regular school day.

Students are always welcome to bring a packed lunch from home too. Please pack preferred items your child will eat. Breakfast is served from 9:00-9:15 am each day.
