Updates & Friendly Reminders
Reminder that this week we have an early dismissal on Friday, January 13th at 11:10. Monday there is NO SCHOOL in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
SAVE the DATE! Family Reading Night is coming up on February 9th! We hope to see you there! More information to come.
Our district is looking for a parent/guardian to join our district leadership team. If you are interested please contact Ryan Janisch by emailing rjanisch@sandwich430.org. Our district leadership team is made up of staff/educators that represent many levels and areas throughout our school district. It's incredibly valuable to have a parent/guardian at the table as well to join us in collaborating toward common goals and objectives that help us serve our students and families. Please consider joining us!
Our winter benchmarking is coming up. This is when we administer assessments that gauge progress students have made from fall to winter in the areas of reading and math. Progress reports will be coming home this Friday. Parents/guardians of students who may still be in the “beginning” stage of learning in one or more areas of an assessed grade level standard will receive a progress report. Beginning means that a student “seldom demonstrates an understanding of concepts and procedures, while requiring consistent support.” on a specific standard or area.
Erin's Law Presentations will take place on January 18th. Please click here to read more information on Safe Passage and personal body safety presentations.
Every year, the Illinois State Board of Education requires schools to participate in a series of drills including fire, severe weather or tornado as well as lockdown/intruder drills to prepare students in the event an emergency occurs while students are present in our building. I am informing you that we will be conducting a rescheduled law enforcement drill on Thursday. December 12th. During this drill, students and staff will practice a lockdown. Our district resource officer will be visiting classrooms prior to the drill to speak with students. Staff are aware this drill will be taking place and are excellent at preparing and supporting our students in advance and throughout the short drill.
Check out our great work!
