Referral GPS--Reminder! 
We are committed to creating a culture of well-being of students, staff,
parents, and community. In an effort to continuously support this
commitment, the district has entered an agreement with ReferralGPS.
ReferralGPS is a web-based service focused on assisting our students,
staff, and community in finding local mental-health and substance use
related treatment. The service compliments the districts existing
systems of support as a tool for student service teams and families to
connect with treatment. Along with a searchable database of treatment
options, ReferralGPS provides Care Navigation to assist families in
triage, appointment setting, and follow up care.
School families may access ReferralGPS in two ways:
1) Contact Student Services (social workers, psychologists,
counselors) to seek out treatment options.
2) Visit this link at https://referralgps.com/find-help/D114 to
search for treatment resources or connect with a Care
Navigator anonymously.

ReferralGPS takes into account all types of private and public insurance
including PPO, HMO, Medicaid, Medicare, and families who are
uninsured or underinsured. The platform also filters by age, gender, zip
code, and special requests.
ReferralGPS is available for use by district students, staff, and families at
no cost. All information entered on the ReferralGPS tool is completely
confidential and securely stored.
If you are interested in seeking counseling-related services at this time,
please consider visiting https://referralgps.com/find-help/D114 or
reaching out to the Student Services team.









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...






Happy Monday, District 114!

We had such an amazing time seeing many of you at Santa's Breakfast this Saturday! We hope everyone had a lovely time enjoying breakfast, shopping the book fair and holiday market, listening to our choirs sing, making crafts, and taking pictures with Santa.

Speaking of pictures with Santa- as many of you are aware, we had some technical difficulties with our printer, so many of you needed to leave before your photos were printed. We are working diligently to get your photos printed and will work with our amazing staff at Lotus and Stanton to get them delivered to your child's classroom so they can bring them home this week. 

If you do not receive your printed photo by Friday, please email us at PTA@foxlake114.org, and we will work with you to get your photo to you.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! Next year will go MUCH smoother!
