Ivy Hall Families,
Another great week of learning is in the books!
This week students completed NWEA MAP Reading and Math testing. Students who were absent will have an opportunity to complete the tests next week. Thank you for ensuring your child was well-rested for the testing session.
Next week, we have Monday, September 4th off in honor of Labor Day. I hope you enjoy the time off with your family!
Take care,

NEW - *Erin’s Law*
An Illinois law known as Erin’s Law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness/prevention curriculum for Kindergarten through Grade 12.
Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 researched and observed best practices and programs for delivering this instruction, selecting Be Seen & Heard ©. For more information about this presentation please go to www.victorpacini.com/peace-of-mind-2
This developmentally appropriate and interactive program focuses on teaching children skills to keep them safe from danger or abuse. Concepts discussed will include distinguishing safe from unsafe touches, safety rules at home and school, saying NO, safe/unsafe secrets, and telling a trusted adult, as well as reinforcing that an adult’s touching him or her is not the child’s fault.
Opt-Out Procedures
The presentation to Ivy Hall students will be during the school day on Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023. If you prefer that your child does not attend this prevention education session, please submit your written request or your questions to [email protected]
NEW *Stevenson High School Tutoring*
Stevenson Tutoring is a tutoring program for those students who are in need of a little extra support. This program is for all grades. The first/second-grade program is strictly a reading program, all materials will be provided for your student. The concentration of this program is reading fluency and comprehension.
The upper-grade program reinforces what your child is doing in their classroom. Therefore, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will get support from the students who go to Stevenson and are in the Future Educators of America program. They will receive help with their homework and then do other activities to help support their reading or their math skills. This is not an acceleration program.
The club runs on Thursdays from 4 - 5 pm. All participants must be able to provide their own transportation to and from Ivy Hall. If you are interested in joining this club, please fill out this permission form.
