A Moment With Mrs. O'Donnell
Dear Attea Flyers,
This week students completed the Panorama Survey during their SEL class on Wednesday. This survey helps us understand how students are feeling about different aspects of school life. We utilize the responses to help our Attea staff support students and make plans for success.
Please keep an eye on your email Monday, 10/3 for an email with information about Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences. These 15 minute sessions are an opportunity to discuss student progress as we have reached the mid-point of Trimester 1.
Go Flyers!
Diana O'Donnell
Principal
Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parents will receive an email in the morning of Monday, October 3rd with information on scheduling an appointment with a Team(grade level) teacher using “My Conference Time”.
Additionally, parents should look for information coming in grade level newsletters about how to set up a conference with Encore, Global Language or PE teachers.

Order Your 22-23 Yearbook
Please remember that the school yearbook is an optional purchase. Students will only receive a yearbook if one is ordered and purchased. The Yearbook is a time honored tradition that recaps the school year in pictures. It is a produced by the students of the Attea Yearbook Club. So far only 150 yearbooks have been ordered out of 778 Attea students.
If you would like to make sure that your child gets a yearbook, order one as soon as possible. The yearbook fee is $23.00. Payment can be made through e~Funds (Pay for Optional Fees) or by sending cash or a check to the main office.
Unsure if you ordered a yearbook already? Parents can find the information in PowerSchool in the Fees section or contact Diane Kaneshiro in the school office at 847-486-7703. It is better to ask if the purchase was already made than to pay twice!

You’ll leave with actions that you can put into place immediately to make a difference for you and your child.
Professional counseling staff from Family Service Center and members of the D34 student services team will guide parents in supporting their children’s academic and social emotional success.
