Veterans Day at Dryden
Thank you to our PTA, Veterans Day Committee and Veterans Day Club for organizing our wonderful breakfast and assembly. Thank you to the Veterans and their families who were able to join us. To all of the Veterans in our community, we are thankful for your service!
Spreading the Warmth
There are families in our Dryden community that can use a little extra help during the holiday season. Please contact Dryden School Social Worker, Miss Caroline Sorrentino, if your family is one that would benefit from assistance.
Please contact Miss Sorrentino's confidential voicemail at 847-506-6548 by December 1st if you are interested or if you have any questions.
Attendance Matters
With report card time right around the corner, please know that we review attendance. You may receive a truancy letter regarding your child's attendance. We know that illnesses, appointments, and vacations happen throughout the year; however, days quickly add up without realizing the impact they have on your child's education. Daily attendance is expected and essential to school success. Please work with us to ensure that your child is attending school each day. If support is needed in this area, please reach out to us. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out Principal Akemi Sessler at 847-398-4280 or asessler@sd25.org.
