2nd graders had great fun with a socially distanced science experiment by demonstrating which seed flier flew the farthest: the seed spinner, the rotochopper, or the glider! |

ITEMS FROM HOME CAN NOT BE SHARED:
- During this time we will not be allowing items from home to be shared by others in school. Therefore, birthday treats will not be allowed to come to school until further notice. That includes any type of trinket and/or food item.
TECHNOLOGY:
- Please remind your children to charge their devices nightly at home and bring them to school fully charged each day.
- Parents please remember that the Archdiocese of Chicago Technology Acceptable Use Policy needs to be signed off on in addition to our iPad/Chromebook RUP. Please complete one form per family.
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL:
- As the weather changes there will be more traffic around school for arrival and dismissal. For older students setting up a meeting place a block or two off campus may help you to avoid traffic.
- It is important that everyone watches their speed on the streets around the school.
- Students should always be unloaded from their cars on the school side of the car so that they are not getting out into passing traffic.
- It's also helpful to have students ready to get out of the car with their coats and masks on and backpacks ready to grab. That way, they can get out of the car quickly traffic moving.

SAFETY:
- Thank you for taking the temperatures of you children, and performing the "MATH" CHECK at home BEFORE they leave for school. CLICK HERE for a copy of the "MATH" PROTOCOL.
- Thank you being positive role models for your children! MASKS must be worn by adults and students at all times, anywhere on our campus as you practice social distancing.
