Friday, May 2nd, 2025

Dear Ivy Hall Families, 

A huge shout out to our 5th graders and Ms. Zhang for a fantastic musical performance this past Tuesday! The concert was an incredible showcase of our 5th graders’ musical talent and collaboration. Way to go 5th grade!

As we enter the final month of the school year, I want to commend our students for their perseverance and dedication, especially as they completed the spring MAP assessment. We’re proud of their efforts and growth. As we wrap up the year, we have a variety of exciting events planned to celebrate our achievements and finish the year strong!

As the weather shifts toward warmer days, please remind students to check the lost and found—it's filling up quickly with jackets, water bottles, and other items that need to be claimed.

Have a great weekend,

Mike Senatore

REPEAT *Dental Exams*

Dear Parents/Guardians of Current KCSD96 Kindergarteners, 2nd, and 6th Grade Students ONLY:

Please note that your child’s completed dental examination has an upcoming due date, per Illinois school law. The deadline for the dental examination is due no later than May 15 of the current school year. Proof of this required dental examination must have been completed within eighteen months prior to the May 15 deadline.
