Ivy Hall Celebrates Diversity February 19, 2018 (New)

On February 19, 2018, Ivy Hall Elementary School, students, and families are planning on organizing a wonderful gathering to celebrate the diversity of our school community. I am attaching a form that will describe culture and what we are trying to accomplish on the 19th of February. Inside the form it will ask you if your student and/or family are interested in:

  • Sharing your culture for our community. There are various formats.
  • Helping plan the event
  • Serving as a volunteer to help manage a portion of the event, on the night of the event

Please fill out this form if you are interested in any of the above items. The form can be found here.

5Essentials Survey (Repeat)

District 96 parents are asked to complete online the parent portion of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey by Jan. 18, 2019. Access the survey: https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/

As a parent, this is your opportunity to share your thoughts on important elements of your child’s school’s effectiveness. The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains.

The Weather Outside is Frightful/Delightful (Repeat)

As a reminder as long as the wind chill is at least 10 degrees our students will go outside for recess.  Please send the proper outdoor wear for them to be warm and enjoy the snow. For students to be able to play in the snow they need to have boots, snow pants, hats, and gloves.  Students who do not have the proper outdoor attire will have to stay on the blacktop.
