Enhanced Lock Down Drill September 18, 2018 (New)

On Tuesday, September 18, 2018, Ivy Hall Elementary School, in collaboration with the Buffalo Grove Police Department, conducted an enhanced lockdown drill. Our students, teachers, and building staff participated in the drill together to help us consider and review best practice options and actions to keep us safe if an intruder were to enter our school.

Both the Buffalo Grove police department and I were extremely impressed with our students' reaction during the drill. Our students were calm throughout and their thoughtful conversation together with their teachers reflects their understanding of response options for safety in a variety of scenarios.

Clubs (New)

There are a handful of clubs currently being offered at Ivy Hall. More clubs will pop up on this page later in the year. Some clubs do not start meeting until later in the year, therefore you will not see them on club's web page until later in the year. I will be sure to mention in my principal’s message when new clubs are beginning throughout the year. Link to Ivy Hall Clubs page found here.
