Good afternoon,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. It is hard to believe that we only have two weeks of learning before winter break. A friendly reminder, please call or email the office if your child will be absent. For planned absences, kindly email both the classroom teacher and Mrs. Guzman ([email protected]). We appreciate your help!
Today was Nurse White's last day at Country Meadows. We want to thank her and wish her luck in the future.
This past week, students worked hard to complete their Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Test in both subject areas of literacy and math. Our entire staff is proud of the efforts our students put forth during the testing and we know that each student is showing growth in a variety of areas as the school year continues to unfold.
As a reminder, please ensure that your child is adequately prepared for the winter weather with appropriate clothing to go outside for recess.
Have a great weekend,
Aska Lempke
Principal

As we wrap up our first few days of December, you can feel that temperatures start to dip.

If you need assistance with outerwear, please contact the front office.
NEW *Safeway Communication*
As you may know, Safeway is KSD96's transportation partner for student busing. In the case that you need to speak with someone about a transportation-related issue during non-business hours (for example, when your school front offices are closed early in the morning or late in the evening), please contact the Safeway Transportation main line at 224-434-2399.
REPEAT *Medication Procedures and Handbook Policy*
As cold and flu season is upon us - reminder from our student handbook: "For the safety of all, medication must be brought to school by the parent or another responsible adult. The medication must be in its correct prescription container, showing the child’s name, the name of the drug, the dosage to be given, and the time of administration. Medication containers must be stored in the health office and students may consume medicine only in the health office." This includes acetaminophen, cough drops, or any other nonprescription, over-the-counter medication.
