Principal's Message
I do hope everyone was able to enjoy the weather this weekend!! What a difference between 14 degrees and 48 degrees!!!
Don't forget about our All School Assembly tomorrow, Monday, March 1st!! Students will finally learn the answers to the clues and begin a journey of something wonderful!!! We would like all students to log-in. Please use the Morning Announcement link found on Peterson's Remote Learning Site: https://sites.google.com/ipsd.org/peterson-remote-learning-site-/home. Classroom teachers will begin class once the assembly has completed.
As Dr. Talley shared in his Superintendent Update that can be found here, we are going to be transitioning to a 4 day per week hybrid model at elementary school starting March 9th. For families who completed the survey and would like to transition from Remote to Hybrid, I will be communicating with those families this week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
As always, please don't ever hesitate to reach out with questions!
Best,
Alli Landstrom

Illinois 5Essentials Survey for Parents
Parents, students and teachers across Illinois will once again have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of your child’s school as it relates to the important elements of school effectiveness.
On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey is administered online by the University of Chicago. All survey responses will be kept confidential. The state will provide survey results for individual schools only if a school has at least 20 percent of parents take the survey. If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school.
To take this short survey:
1. Visit 5 Essentials Survey Link
2. Type and select “Dupage” as "County." (The county is the location of the school district's main office.)
3. Type your school's name into the "School" field and select your school.
Dinner Nights
Mark your calendars for our next dinner night which will be at the Chick-Fil-A on RT59 by Fox Valley Mall on Monday, March 15. Please see the flyer below for instructions. Chick-Fil-A app must be downloaded and used for us to get any credit for the sale. More details to follow as we get closer.

Arrival/Dismissal Reminders
All students have purple tags with their Car Rider numbers on their backpacks. Please encourage your student to remember their number! It really helps our carline to move more efficiently.
Self-Certification Required Before Coming to School
Please note, if you are using the ParentVUE app to self-certify, you need to make sure you are using the most updated version and are logged in. If you have any difficulties with the app, please use the desktop version to complete self-certification.
The self-certification prompt will appear each day you login to ParentVUE, regardless of your child’s schedule for in-person learning. You only need to complete this step on the days your child will be at school.
Here is a helpful way to self-certify:
- Go to your search engine (Google, Safari....)
- Type in "parent vue 204"
- Click the first link that pulls up (it should have the title 'Edupoint Education systems' as part of the link).
- Click on the link and it will have you sign in and the first thing that will pop up after you sign-in is the self-certify questions.
We ask that you please monitor your child's health closely and keep them home if they aren't feeling well. You can report your child's absence using ParentVUE after completing the self-certification process.
News from the LMC
Curbside Book Pick-Up:
- Did you know that Peterson LMC has been providing contactless Curbside Book Pick-Up since October? The LMC will continue to do this for the rest of the school year. Additionally, we are also going to deliver books to classrooms for our In-Person learners too! Reading is so important to learning. The more practice students get, the better they are at reading! We want to give students as many opportunities as possible to find books that they enjoy!
- Below you will find a flyer for the process. A video is also within the flyer. The video explains the process and shows students how to place holds through our online catalog that all students have access to through the SSO.
- It's simple, safe, and contactless! Please know that when books are returned, they are quarantined and then cleaned before being put back into circulation! Please see the attached flyer. If you have any questions, please reach out to me with questions via email: ann_schimmoler@ipsd.org It is my hope that your child uses this process to select books from the LMC. We have a library of books waiting to be read! :) ~ Mrs. Schimmoler
