December Bees Business
Principal's Corner
Hello Oak Crest Families:
I hope you are doing well and had a great Thanksgiving holiday celebrating with family and friends. We have made it to the last month of the year! Winter holidays are approaching fast, and whatever holiday you celebrate, be it Hanukkah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa we wish you a safe and healthy holiday.
Winter is also approaching and so is the cold weather, please make sure that you are sending coats, hats, and mittens with your child. We go outside for recess every day that the weather is above 30 degrees and it is not snowing or raining. We cannot keep your child inside from recess unless they have a letter from their doctor stating that they cannot go outside due to illness. If you need assistance with winter clothing for your child please contact the school, there are resources available to help you with those items.
We are entering flu and cold season. Please remember to keep your students home if they have a fever, are vomiting, or have diarrhea. Students may not return to school until they are symptom free for 24 hours.
Winter Break begins on December 23rd and classes resume on January 8th. Please make sure that you are taking your vacation during the winter break window.
Please reach out to me at (847) 599-5525 if you have any questions as I am always happy to speak with you.
In partnership,
Jennifer Convey
