Building Update
We’ve been experiencing a number of absences involving symptoms associated with the flu. Today, we had 28 absences related to the flu, with an average of 30 absences per day this week. Due to the spike in flu related absences, we've conducted a deep cleaning in each of our classrooms, including the main gym and cafeteria, and will continue this process throughout the weekend.
When calling to report an absence, please be sure to communicate the type of symptoms your child is experiencing. We monitor this information closely and submit this to the county health department.
If your child is exhibiting symptoms related to the flu, please do not send your child to school. This increases the risk of others getting sick.
Attention All Kindergarten and 2nd Grade Parents!
Just a reminder that kindergarten and 2nd grade students are required to submit a dental exam by May 15, 2018. Please see attached flyer for an opportunity at College of DuPage Dental Hygiene Clinic on February 2 for students to have a dental exam. A second opportunity will be at Lincoln in April when the DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) will have their dental clinic in the building. Information will be provided in March for signing up for the DCHD clinic. If you have any questions or want to verify that you have turned in an exam for your student please contact the Health Office at 630-682-2075.
