I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. We had a great day of learning during our Institute Day on Friday, and I think EVERYONE was ready for a day off on Monday!
We've been informed that the Village of Fox Lake will now be doing sewer work that will impact traffic. For more information, please click here to visit their website.
Safety and on time arrivals are always our priorities on the buses. We build routes with exact timing to ensure we can get kids to school in the morning and home in the afternoon on time.
Please--if your child is taking the bus--be sure to:
*Have them out at the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
*Do NOT wait for the bus with your child in the car, waiting for the bus to arrive. Please have them out at the stop to quickly and safely board.
*Remember that children are NOT allowed to get off at other stops.
*Should your child miss their stop at the end of the day, the driver will radio to us immediately, and my team will call you to let you know the plan. Usually, for Lotus, we'll bring kids back to Lotus to be picked up. Usually for Stanton, we will finish running the route and then circle back to drop the student at the correct stop.
Thank you SO much for your help with this!
Please note:
IF YOUR CHILD TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID...
Please alert the school office so we may inform the nurse.
Students are expected to return to school as soon as they meet the following criteria:
• Free of fever for at least 24 hours (without medication)
• Free of vomiting and or diarrhea for at least 24 hours.
Students are STRONGLY encouraged to wear a mask when returning to school to prevent the spread of illness to others.
Masks are available in the office for all staff who wish to wear one.
Please contact Heather Friziellie, Superintendent of Schools (heather.friziellie@foxlake114.org), if you have any questions!
SCHOOL SAFETY DRILL
School safety drills are an essential part of emergency preparedness; these experiences provide staff and students the opportunity to practice what to do in the event of an actual emergency. Each year we are required to conduct numerous safety drills. One of these required drills is a law enforcement drill.
Stanton will perform its law enforcement drill this Friday, October 18. As part of Illinois HB2400, parents need to be notified and provided an opportunity to opt their student(s) out of the drill, if they choose, and have their student(s) complete alternative safety education.Please call Stanton School at 847.973.4200, if you wish to have your child participate in the alternative safety education in the library. The deadline for selecting alternative safety education is noon on the 17th.
As with fire drills and other safety drills, the goal is to acclimate staff and students to a plan that they will be able to follow quickly and safely if ever necessary. The safety of our staff and students is of utmost importance to us. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
SPIRIT WEAR!!!!
You have the opportunity to order spiritwear for Lotus, Stanton and District. All orders are due by October 31st with delivery mid-November. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Here are the two links to the stores:
