NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Weekly Communication to our Families
At Husmann, we value the partnerships we create with our families. A key piece of that relationship is open communication. One way that we communicate regularly is via this newsletter each Wednesday. It will contain a plethora of information in regards to the "happenings" at school. It will be delivered right to your inbox each week!
The 2020-21 School Year starts on 8/24!
Themes for this School Year
We are incorporating two themes this school year, both the one chosen by District 47, as well as the one chosen by our very own Husmann Staff! The two themes are 'Navigating Forward' (D47's theme) & Cougars R.O.A.R. (Husmann's theme). The R.O.A.R. stands for Respect Others, Own Your Actions, Act Safely and Rise To The Challenge. We will continue to 'Navigate Forward' as a school, District & Community while also continuing to R.O.A.R. as only our Cougars can do!
Office Hours
Our school office will be open between the hours of 7:15am to 3:45pm Monday through Friday.

Nurse News
Please turn in your physical, dental, and eye exams as soon as possible. Be sure to fill out the parent portion of the physical, answering all of the yes/no questions, as well as indicating if your child has any allergies.
You can scan and send them to husmedrecords@d47.org, or drop them off in the bin that will be outside of the main doors starting this Thursday, 8/13. The bin will be available for drop off Mon-Fri from 8-3:15. We ask that you please do not ring the bell for entry, as we are not allowing visitors inside the building at this time.
You can also mail them directly to the school. Our address is:
Husmann Elementary
131 W. Paddock St.

Please feel free to email me with any questions at jsauck@d47.org
Thank you for your cooperation and welcome to Husmann!

UPCOMING EVENTS
School Supply Pick Up Day
We wanted to let all of our families know exactly how student supplies will be distributed prior to the upcoming school year that will be starting on 8/24. If you were a part of our Husmann Family in the spring, think of this as a reverse! This time, you will be coming to pick up student items, and will not be dropping anything off.
Each child will receive a box containing school supplies and curriculum materials. Each box will also contain district purchased school supplies. The supplies will be used for remote learning and in-person learning. The box will also contain grade level specific curriculum and technology. (Please note, returning 4th and 5th grade students already have District Chromebooks at home.) A mask and a lanyard (1 of each) will also be included in each box. Please label each item, including the mask and lanyard, with your child’s name. If you choose to return to in-person learning when in-person instruction begins, please make sure that you send all of the items you will be receiving next week back to school with your child. The box is a great way to transport items back to school once in-person learning resumes.
Here are the District 47 confirmed dates and times for the school supply distribution:
August 19th: K-2nd: 4:00-5:00 pm; 3-5th grade: 5:00-6:00 pm
August 20th: K-2nd: 12:15-1:15 pm; 3-5th grade: 1:15-2:15 pm
August 21st: 3rd-5th grade: 8:00-9:00 am; K-2nd grade: 9:00-10:00 am
In an effort to avoid everyone coming at once, we have divided up the time slots to best accommodate families based on when they are available to come and pick up supply boxes. We want each of our families to be able to choose whichever day works best for them.
Before heading to school, we ask that you write all student names and grades on a piece of paper and have them displayed in your front or left side windows. We ask that you enter the car pick up lane off of Franklin Street and pull up as far as you can towards Paddock Street. Once you come to a stop, we ask that you pop the trunk. A supply crew member will then place the box/es into your trunk. You may then proceed towards Paddock Street and exit the pick up lane by making a right hand turn.
In addition to the district provided supplies, please make sure to purchase the items on the Husmann Elementary School Supply List to ensure you have everything needed for the first day of learning.
We look forward to seeing you on the 19th, 20th and 21st for supply pick up at Husmann! While this is a unique year in so many ways, we are so happy to have all of you as part of the Husmann Family.
NEWS FROM THE PTO
Welcome Back!
Welcome back Husmann families! We are excited to be navigating forward through this year with you! We anticipate a fun year for our staff and students, whether that be remotely or in person. We know we can make this a great year with help from all of you. We are going to need some out of the box thinkers to get some virtual activities planned for our kids. Until further notice, PTO meetings will be held virtually via Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. We hope that allows more of you to join us and offer your opinions as to what you would like to see happening within our Husmann community. Stay tuned for more info regarding Zoom meetings!
Looking forward to a successful year,
Husmann PTO
