Principal Note
Safety Drills
On Wednesday, all Munhall Mustangs participated in our required safety drills. Specifically, the St. Charles Fire and Police Departments were on hand for our evacuation and lockdown drills. Our students and staff did an excellent job and our feedback extremely positive. Our students were quiet, efficient, and responsive, and our teachers were well-prepared to lead their students through our safety protocols. Feel free to ask you child about the safety procedures set up in their classrooms in case of emergency.
Celebration of Fall and Friendship
On Friday, October 30th all Munhall students will end their day with a celebration of Fall and Friendship. Communication regarding the specifics of the celebration will come from me early next week. Unlike our fall parties of the past, visitors will not be allowed. If teachers or grade levels need any support with craft ideas, etc. they will reach out to families via their newsletters.
Organic Life Lunch Supervisors Needed
Are you interested in serving as a lunchroom supervisor at Munhall? If so, we are ALWAYS looking for parents who want to support! This year Organic Life responsibilities include lunch supervision only, as Munhall teaching staff covers recess supervision. Hours typically run from 10:40 am-1:00 pm. Applicants can requests anywhere from one to five days of employment. If interested, please contact Kathie Travis at 331-228-5711 or Kathie.Travis@d303.org.
Have a great weekend!
Jarrod Buxton, Principal
A Note from the Nurse
We have all started the school year with lots of changes. This is my first year at Munhall as your building nurse. I am excited to be here and working with all of you and your children.
I would like to thank you all and let you know how much I appreciate your understanding regarding the changes that have been made this year in the Health Office due to Covid-19. I know it has not been easy when I call about stomach aches, headaches, sore throats and stuffy noses this year. We have asked a lot of you as parents. Thank you for your considerate and timely responses to my calls and for your understanding as we follow the guidelines we have been given by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
