Neubert ElementarySchoolVirtual Backpack Week of December 9, 2024

Principal Updates

Neubert Families,


Wednesday, December 11th is a Late Start Day. Student arrival begins at 9:45 AM and classes begin at 10:00 AM. We appreciate your flexibility!


We are in week two of our Winter iReady Benchmark Test in Reading and Math. These assessments will show how much your student has grown academically since the start of the school year. Testing will conclude at the end of the day, Friday, December 13th. Reports will be sent to families the week of December 16th.


As the weather turns colder, we want to remind you to ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the winter conditions. This includes a warm winter coat, hat, gloves, boots, and any other necessary outerwear. We try to go outside daily, weather permitting, for recess. It is important that our students are dressed warmly to stay comfortable while enjoying the fresh air. Thank you for your help in keeping your child warm and comfortable during the colder months.


Kind regards,

Shalon Leschman

Principal

Note of Appreciation

District 300 is excited to once again provide an opportunity for families to recognize outstanding staff members through our Note of Appreciation program.


The 2024-25 Note of Appreciation form is now open and can be accessed by clicking here.

Submitting a Note of Appreciation is easy. Just open the form, identify the staff member you would like to recognize, and provide a few sentences about what makes that person remarkable.

Parents and guardians can recognize teachers, paraeducators, school nurses, lunchroom staff, custodians, coaches – any District 300 employee who has made a positive impact on their student!

Once received, Note of Appreciation submissions are printed and hand delivered to respective staff members.


Your words of appreciation go a long way toward supporting our hardworking staff!

Neubert Attendance

Please remember all absences must be reported BEFORE 8:00 AM for each day missed.


To report a student absence, late arrival, or early release, please

(1) call 847-532-6800 OR (2) email attendance.neubert@d300.org


Monthly Data Recap

Each month, our NES Attendance Team meets to review attendance data. To date, the Chronic Absence Rate is 11% This means that 11% of students at NES have been absent for 10% or more of the school-year so far. This equates to 7.5 or more days.


December Monthly Attendance Letters

Letters for students who have accumulated 5, 10, or 15 days of absences were mailed out to families last week. These letters include days that absences are both excused and unexcused.

Attendance Incentive

December Incentive: Every student who arrives to school on time and had no absences for the month of December will be receiving A Free Slice of Portillo's Chocolate Cake!


Attendance Incentive Donations

Do you own a local business and want to donate a monthly perfect attendance incentive for the students at Neubert? Each month we feature our local businesses who provide the monthly attendance incentive! If you would like to donate for the month January or February, please reach out to heather.hodal@d300.org.
