Welcome back! I hope you had a fabulous Spring Break!!!! We're excited about the spring and heading into the end of the year...there's LOTS of learning to happen, and we are ready for it!
Updated ISBE Guidance
Please review the ISBE guidance document and/or this awesome FAQ document to make sure you are clear on the new updates. The GREAT news is that we are able to more fully open...and we can get all of our in person learners on site for 4 days a week starting April 13! Please know that we will cannot FULLY open due to space concerns and the required 3 ft social distancing. If you have been learning full remote and wish to be put on a wait list for in person learning, please call your school(s) to make sure your child(ren) are added to the lists.
We continue to plan for in person summer school that will be open to FAR more learners than usual and for a FULL REOPEN for the fall.
21-22 Registration and Fees
Speaking of next year...the Board approved the fees for 21-22 with no increases. You'll remember that NO fees were charged this year due to the craziness of the year. More information about the registration process coming soon. Fee information is as follows:
Calling New Kindergartners!!!!
Speaking of next year...again...please see below for information on Kindergarten Round Up!!! Please pass this information along, and call Lotus at 847.973.4100 for more info!
IAR Testing
We are moving IAR and ACCESS testing to as late in the school year as possible to maximize learning time. While we are required to give a good faith effort to the assessments, we will not stress out about make ups, nor will we test full remote students.
No Food Treats
For the safety of everyone and given all the parameters around eating and the 4W's, we cannot allow food treats for birthday events in the building. You are welcome to send non-food items and we'll hold them for the required 24 hours before distributing. But food is NOT allowed.
Meals and Materials
We'll be sticking with our current schedule for meals and materials until we open to full
capacity on April 13:
Meals daily at Stanton from 6-7:30 and Lotus from 8:00-10:00
Materials at each site on Fridays
More info coming on plans moving forward.
