What's a Behavior Report?

In an effort to better communicate with our families regarding student behavior and our response here at school, we will continue to implement a Behavior Report Form throughout the building. This form helps staff members summarize a student's actions, the context in which the action occurred, and any consequences the child receives. As we are an elementary school and regularly redirect students and coach them on their behavior, staff members will utilize this form when behaviors stand out as being worthy of sharing with parents. Our teachers will contact you when such incidents occur so that you can hear details from them and have the opportunity to ask questions. If you are unavailable when we reach out, this form can ensure you at least have the basics of what happened when your child arrives home.

School Pictures

If your child was unable to have their school picture taken, the picture make-up day is Thursday, October 10th. It’s not too late to order pictures. Orders can still be placed over the phone at 815-433-1766, or online at shop.hrimaging.com. All students are photographed for school records so you will be able to preview their picture online prior to ordering. Please do not send paper order envelopes to school.

HR Imaging has a NO QUESTIONS ASKED policy for retakes. If for any reason you are unhappy with their pictures, you may have the photograph retaken on Thursday, October 10th. Students must bring the entire package back and give it to the photographer at that time.

HR Imaging has a NO QUESTIONS ASKED policy for refunds. If for any reason you are unhappy with their pictures, you may request a refund. The ENTIRE package must be returned within 5 days. A full refund will be issued by HR Imaging and sent via US Postal Service. HR Imaging is unable to issue refunds after 15 days of picture delivery.
