Ridge Circle has many students that are affected by food allergies. Due to this health concern, we do not allow food celebrations for student birthdays. We would love to celebrate your child's special day with items that all students will be able to enjoy. Individual items - such as pencils, erasers, stickers, or small toys - make perfect gifts. Another way to celebrate your child is by purchasing a whole class gift, such as a new book for the library or fun new game to use at indoor recess during those chilly winter months. We will continue to celebrate birthdays, however, we want to do this in a way all students can participate. Thank you for understanding.

Holiday Celebrations

As a District, we encourage students to make good choices around healthy eating and physical activity to promote positive outcomes. With the holidays around the corner, U-46 will continue this practice by promoting holiday celebrations with non-food items. To stay aligned with the USDA's Smart Snacks requirements, food-related celebrations or distribution of snacks to students to eat in the classroom during the school day will not be allowed. The USDA-defined school day hours are from midnight to 30 minutes after the end of the school day.

Illinois law defines “chronic absentee” as a student who misses 10 percent of school days within an academic year with or without a valid excuse.

13% of Ridge Circle students are currently considered Chronic Abseeteeism. We will be working to improve this number.

Did you know October is National Fire Prevention Month?

To celebrate, the Streamwood Fire Department has a coloring and poster contest. We hope all our students will participate. The supplies have been handed out by our teachers. The details are below.

Watch for the Streamwood Fire Department to visit each of our classes later this year to learn more about Fire Safety.

We have a few yearbooks left from last year..... If you are interested, please send $25 to the main office with your child.

Kindergarten Vision exams, required by the State of Illinois, are due October 15th, please send in completed forms with your student, email to carentillrock@u-46.org or have faxed to 630-213-9407 as soon as possible.

Critical Information

Our teachers need your child's pick up information. Please share with them whether your child is a parent pick up, walker, turnabout pick up, Boys & Girls club or older sibling picking up.

If you are driving your child to or from school, you must use the turnabout on Streamwood Boulevard. Drivers must stay in their cars. Staff will escort your child to their line up location. There is no parking in the turnabout.

Reminder--The staff parking lot is for staff. No parent parking or drop off is allowed.

We encourage all our parents to walk their child to school on the first days to see the traffic and better understand how drop off and pick up work.

** In order for our process to work, it takes patience. **

U-46 provides all students with computers. Grade 1-12 have Chromebooks and kindergarten have Ipads.

Computers that are not working can be switched out through the main office.

Please be sure to send your child to school everyday with a charged computer.

The U-46 Educational Foundation’s Run for U-46 is returning on Saturday, Oct. 8, at Bartlett High School.
