Wildcat Weekly

November 8th, 2024

As we approach the end of this trimester, we wanted to remind you that we have just two full weeks left until our upcoming break, and only one week remaining before the start of the new trimester. It's hard to believe how quickly time has flown, but we are excited to close out this part of the school year strong and look forward to what’s ahead!

A Special Thank You to Our Psychologists

We also want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible psychologists across our district. As part of Psychologist Appreciation Week, we are reminded of the unwavering support and dedication they bring to our students and staff. Their hard work behind the scenes—whether it’s providing counseling, supporting mental health, or offering guidance to families and teachers—is invaluable. We’re so grateful for all they do to ensure the well-being and success of our school community! Thank you to all our psychologists for making a difference every day!

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

The D34 Food & Nutrition Services Department wants to serve your favorite family recipe on the D34 lunch menu this spring.

Submit a recipe for an entree or side dish (fruit, vegetable, or grain). All recipes will be reviewed by a panel of Food & Nutrition Services staff members. Finalists will be updated to meet the federal nutrition guidelines and then tested and rated by students.

The winning recipe will be featured on the school menu this spring! The winning student(s) also will be invited to help serve their recipe at lunch.

Last year, over 300 students at 5 of the District’s schools sampled the recipe finalists and selected the winning recipe. The winning recipe was shared by a Lyon Family and featured on our Spring menu, Yum Yum Chicken! It remains a favorite menu item at both Middle Schools this year. Please submit your favorite family recipe this year!

We wanted to take a moment to remind you about the expectations with emails and photos on your school iPad.

Your school iPad should be for school purposes only. Photos should only be taken for classwork or projects. Additionally, you should never be taking photos of students or staff without their knowledge or permission.

Your school email should also be used for school purposes only. Emails should only be sent to other students for homework, classwork, or other school related reasons. Students should not be using email to chat back and forth with other students.

Please take a moment to clean out your camera roll and emails for anything that isn't related to a school assignment.

No worries! We just ask that you call ahead to the attendance line (847-998-5020 ---> press 1) with date/time of needed dismissal. Students are required to stop by the main office to pick up their early dismissal pass/ensure the digital pass has been assigned and also to sign out at the time requested. No need to come into the building as our front office staff will monitor and dismiss students directly to parent/guardian.
