CL PUBLIC LIBRARY WINTER READING INCENTIVE
On Monday January 10, students will watch a presentation for the CL Library Winter Reading Incentive, "Waddle You Read?" which will take place from January 16 - March 11. This program does not require a CL library card for registration, which means it is open to all District 47 families. Reading logs will be sent home next week and include information for registration and earning prizes. Students may register and begin reading now. If you have questions, contact Seanine Brady (sbrady@crystallakelibrary.org).

WEATHER INFORMATION
Please have your child dressed and ready for the outdoors in the morning. When looking at weather temperatures to determine if the students are inside or out, the district uses https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/crystal-lake/60014/current-weather/332823

If temperature is 15 degrees or warmer the maximum time out is unlimited
If temperature is zero to 15 degrees the maximum time out is 20 minutes

PARENTVUE
ParentVue is a secure Internet-based communications tool connected to the District 47 student database that allows parents/guardians to participate more directly in their students' learning and school lives. Use ParentVue to see student schedules, communicate with teachers, view report cards, pay student fees, and certain assessment information, such as Fastbridge.
We encourage ALL parents/guardians to activate their ParentVue account if they have not already done so. If you need assistance, please contact us at 815-788-5400, or contact the district Help Desk at hd@d47.org or 815.788.5080.
