School Updates:
Valentine's Day: Due to COVID-19 guidelines, we do not bring items to exchange with others. Therefore, we are not sending in Valentines from home. This is a district wide decision. However, our teacher team will give students a chance to share messages with one another in a safe way & plan fun themed activities on Friday, February 12th.
Drops in the Bucket Math Book: We've ordered math review books per grade using title 1 funding. Every child will receive their own math book that fits his/her level. This is a great way for daily practice of standards and review topics regularly such as change or time. Your child's teacher will share weekly expectation for home and school.
Minute Reading Cards: Thanks for reading each night at home! Students can continue to color their minute cards for every 10 minutes of reading! They love turning in their cards for a special $5 bright buck to save for the school store!
A Message from the District:
Dear Yorkville CUSD 115 Families,
With weather forecasts continuing to predict snow, ice, and severe cold throughout the next week, District 115 families should be reminded of the following guidelines:
- Transportation speeds must adapt to weather conditions on the roads. School bus delays are likely and pick-up/drop-off lines may be longer as parents/guardians consider transporting their children to school. Please be patient. Everyone is working to ensure all students get to school and home safely. Parents/Guardians will be notified by email of any bus delays that exceed 15 minutes.
- Students should dress appropriately for predicted weather conditions. The weather in this region can change quickly, so it is best to be prepared with extra layers, gloves, hats, scarves, and boots. Students will not be outside for recess when the wind chill and temperature are 15 degrees Fahrenheit or below, or at the administrator’s discretion. Students who walk to school, walk between schools, or who wait at a school bus stop should dress to remain warm.
-
Students should bring home their Chromebooks and chargers nightly in case weather conditions dictate an “emergency all-district e-learning day.” If the superintendent designates such a day, information (guidelines, schedules, etc.) will be available for students on the district website at www.y115.org/emergencyday.
