Pictures and Yearbooks
We WILL have student pictures and yearbooks this year...no matter what!
Lotus Parents, due to the unusual year we are having, we are getting creative. Lotus will be having school pictures taken January 8, 2021 with retakes being done January 29, 2021. During this time of separation, we would like you take pictures of all the wonderful things you are doing at home with your class, projects you are working on and all the hard work you are accomplishing at home. Please submit the pictures by scanning, email, faxing or sending them to us. The pictures need to be in jpeg format when you are sending them to us. You can email them to sue.pinkawa@foxlake114.org or paula.kvacik@foxlake114.org . Please include your child’s name and their homeroom. We look forward to seeing all your smiling faces!
Here are dates for Stanton:
Grade 5th-7th: January 7, 2021
Hybrid Model Launch Update
AS PROMISED, OUR HYBRID LAUNCH PLAN IS BEING SHARED TODAY!!!!
Please find, linked here, an in-depth presentation of our launch plan.
If you'd prefer to just look at the slides, they are linked here and attached to today's email.
As we've done along the way, we've made a Fast Facts document to list all the key updates, including those we add based on amazing questions from YOU! This will be a live document, updated regularly. I'll keep it linked in the Morning Announcements so you always have access.
*A small group of superintendents has partnered on a local "dashboard" to show the status for re-opening specifically based on our own zip codes. The intent is to use this as a weekly tool to show how COVID data aligns with our position. Here's what the data indicated for D114 zip codes using Friday's data--the health department updates each Friday:
Again--all this depends on the data continuing to trend positively and the logistics working in our favor. The goal remains getting our kids back on site for learning, with a continued focus on balancing safety and learning. Your questions, suggestions, and feedback are welcome. This impacts us all, so there's no time ever that it's been more important to remain ONE TEAM...ALL IN.
Just a reminder that--FOR NOW-- there are 3 ways to get meals and 3 ways to get student materials:
MEALS:
1. Daily bus runs
2. Grab and Go at Lotus daily 8:00-10:00AM (9:00-10:00 on Fridays)
3. Early Bird Meal grab at BOTH SITES daily 6:15-6:45AM
MATERIALS:
1. Friday bus runs
2. Pick up at Lotus Grab and Go Friday between 9:00-10:00AM or Monday-Thursday from 8:00-10:00AM
3. Weekend pick up from totes located outside the Lotus Main Entrance (under camera surveillance for safety) anytime from Friday at 3:00PM-Monday at 7:00AM! You must call the Lotus office (847-973-4100) to request that materials be put in the weekend pick up tote. You can make this a PERMANENT ARRANGEMENT or you can call by 2:00PM Friday so we make sure your materials for that week are put in the tote. Both school's materials will be picked up from Lotus.
*Note--We will NOT HAVE bus runs, Early Bird, or Grab and Go when school is closed for a day off or holiday.
We hope this all helps as we continue this Remote Learning journey together!
