Building Bridges, Keeping Kids First
Dear Builta Families
On Friday we celebrated Custodian's Day by thanking and recognizing our head and night custodians for all that they do to keep Builta School clean and safe for Builta students and staff.
We are very excited that the PTA is planning fall parties for Builta students. We are appreciative of our PTA's hard work in providing this fun activity for Builta students. The fall parties will occur outside on 10/13, 10/14, and 10/15. If you are interested in volunteering at the parties, please contact Mrs. Bradway, PTA President, at zarinahbradway@gmail.com.
Please note that in order to volunteer at school:
**school volunteers must be vaccinated and provide the office proof of covid-19 vaccination
**school volunteers must complete and turn in the volunteer form IPSD Volunteer Form
**school volunteers must have their driver's license or state identification on file in the office with the Raptor System
On October 17, three of our Builta parents will run the Naperville 5K/Half-Marathon to raise funds for Builta School and students. Thank you to Mrs. Pavithra Arun Kumar, Mrs. Jennifer Malinsky and Mrs. Lisa Pagano (parent) for their support. Donations can be made to our parent runners at the following link. Team IPEF Donations
We look forward to another week of learning and growing together.
Sincerely,
Ms. Morgan

Listen and Learn with Dr. Talley
Dr. Talley will hold three Listen & Learn sessions with the community starting Monday, October 4 at Fischer Middle School from 7 – 9 pm. In the sessions, Dr. Talley will share information about the district as well as his goals. Community members will have an opportunity to share their feedback on what works in the district, what is not working, and what specific suggestions they have for what is not working. Information gathered during these sessions will help the superintendent in planning for the future and may be used as part of the strategic planning process that will start later in the school year.
Please RSVP for any of the sessions at the following links:
October 4 - Fischer Middle School
November 4 - Granger Middle School
December 14 - Crone Middle School
If you have questions regarding the Listen & Learn sessions, please contact Lisa Barry, Executive Director of Communication Services, at lisa_barry@ipsd.org.
Picture Retake Day-10/19
If your child was absent or was not enrolled at Builta School on Picture Day (9/17), he/she will have a picture taken on Picture Retake Day on 10/19
Picture packets will be sent from HR Imaging and sent home soon. If after receiving your child's picture you do not like it, you can choose to have your child's picture retaken by sending the picture package back to school with your child on 10/19. Doing that will notify staff members that you want your child's picture retaken.
Only those students who were absent or who return the picture package for retakes will be photographed.
