December 2nd, 2022

In the wake of the recent tragedy, our school community is grieving and relying on each other for strength as we navigate this time together.  Our Ivy Hall Family is truly remarkable, and I am honored to be a part of it.  I want to personally thank everyone for the outpouring of support and for being so willing to help.  

Our Ivy Hall and District 96 staff will continue to support students and staff in the days and weeks ahead.  We know navigating these past few days has not been easy for anyone, but there is comfort in knowing that we are in this together - every step of the way.

I am humbled to lead this supportive and collaborative school community, and I hope everyone takes time this weekend to tend to your individual needs and the needs of your children.

NEW *MAP Testing*

The MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment will be administered in all District 96 schools in grades K-8 on Monday 12/5 and Tuesday 12/6.  If students are absent for testing, and the make up window is still open, students will be able to make up the test.  If the window is closed they will not be able to make up the test.

NEW *Lost and Found*

Items are piling up in our Lost and Found which is located in our cafeteria. Gloves, hats, shirts, you name it, we have some in our Lost and Found! Please encourage your child to check the Lost and Found if they are missing items. All items will be donated during Winter Break. Please remember to label all clothing items with your child’s name as well.
