SeeSaw Access and Remote Learning Food Service
How does my child access Seesaw? Your child can access Seesaw through a portal called Clever, which they should see on their homescreen upon initial login if using a Chromebook. Please email your child's teacher should you need a code. Only parent needs a code, not the students. Teacher emails can be found in the D47 staff directory via the D47 mobile app. To download the app, search "Crystal Lake District 47."
MEAL SERVICE DURING REMOTE LEARNING - ALL students will be offered breakfast and lunch meals as they leave each school day.
A Note From Mrs. Mattoon
Thank you to the parents and students who adjusted so well to our new drop-off/pick-up rules this week. You make such a positive difference to the safety and climate at Bernotas.

Why I Love Fall: Vanessa
Fall is the season where the trees change color and we get ready for winter! In Fall, the leaves on the tree turn bright red and orange. The temperature changes and gets colder and leads into winter. I picked fall because it's a fun season. It's when Halloween comes and when the leaves fall.
My Family's Sense of Humor: Kaleb
My family has four members, my mom, dad, sister, and me. We all have a sense of humor. For example, one day we were eating and my mom choked while drinking her pop. We all laughed, and she laughed too. She was fine. My family's sense of humor makes me love them even more.
