Dear Prospect Families,

3-5 Tech Ambassadors will start on 10/25

Goals and Mission of the Tech Ambassadors:

• To foster positive digital citizenship

We ask both new and returning students to indicate their interest in the program by September 25th.

We have three upcoming safety drills that will be taking place at Prospect:

Per the School Safety Drill Act covered under Illinois Statute (105 ILCS 12/20), this notification is being provided to parents and guardians of students attending Prospect School. On Monday, September 18th at 2:30, Prospect will conduct a lockdown drill that will include school staff, students, and Clarendon Hills law enforcement agency representative(s). During this drill, teachers will utilize the linked Google Slides to instruct students.

We understand that some parents/guardians may want to opt out of this type of drill for their child. As the parent/guardian of a student attending Prospect, you have the option to exempt your child, for any reason, from the drill. If you choose to exempt your child from the drill, please notify Mary Ann Alberts at 630-861-4400 or malberts@d181.org no later than the day of the drill.

New and improved absence reporting. You may now notify us of illness, vacation, appointments, and other absences through the same Absence Reporting Link. You may also submit them in advance and we will keep track of them.

The Community House will be offering the Before and After the Bell programs at Prospect School to help meet the needs of our families.
