Reminders!!! 


This Friday, October 10, is an INSTITUTE DAY. Students do not attend, but the adults spend the day learning together to get even BETTER for the kids we are lucky enough to work with! 


Also, Monday, October 13, the District will be CLOSED for Columbus Day.

📸Stanton Picture Day!!!📸

Picture Day for all students is Thursday, October 9. Retakes will be in November.  

Starting 2nd hour, students will be called down by Community Building class to have their picture taken.  






Be a Super Fan!
We love when families come to support events! Please remember, though, that we expect anyone at a D114 event (or at another school where we are competing) to represent our District with pride. Please do NOT:
*Talk unkindly to refs or other spectators. 
*Yell at your child. 
We are all cheering for D114, so please join us to cheer and proudly represent our district. 


Absences
Just a reminder that--if a student is absent from school for ANY reason--they are NOT permitted to attend any after school events. If they can't come to school, they should not attend after school events. 



ATTENDANCE MATTERS! 
We have updated our procedures when students are frequently absent. It's our goal to support students and families in getting to school EACH DAY!
Why does this matter?




Here's what our support will look like...
