Message From Central Road School
Mrs. Joanna Shostachuk, School Principal
A Note from Mrs. Shostachuk 08/02/2022
Dear Central Road Families:
I had originally crafted this newsletter as an exciting "Welcome Back" message as the start of a new year is right around the corner. As I am now sending this message, I am grieving the loss of six members of our D15 community-three of them being precious members of our Central Road family. My heart aches for our students, staff, and CR community.
Mrs. Green and I can assure you that the well-being and safety of our staff and students is our highest priority and urge you to reach out if there is anything we can do to support you and your child(ren). On Monday, you received information about opportunities for your child to speak with clinician staff in a private setting- in-person or virtual. Simply use this link to schedule an appointment if needed. https://go.oncehub.com/CCSD15Support
In addition, a Caregiver Support Training will be available and held tonight, August 2nd, from 6:00-7:00 pm at Central Road School for both staff and parents. This training will be held in person with a virtual attendance option also available. Access the virtual attendance session through this link. Children are welcome to attend with their parents.
If you are having trouble finding an available time, please reach out to me and I'll connect with you with the appropriate support. We are here for you and your children.
Warmly,
Joanna Shostachuk

Breakfast and Lunch Information
Both breakfast and lunch will be provided to all students at Central Road School who would like to eat the food served each day. Students at CR are offered FREE breakfast and lunch daily starting the first day of school as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, funded by the federal government. Students may bring a lunch from home if they prefer to do so.
What does this mean for families attending the CEP school like Central Road?
Again, all enrolled students will receive a free breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household. Your child(ren) will be able to participate without having to pay a fee, but we ask that you still complete the Fee Waiver form here (Spanish form) to determine if your family qualifies for other financial assistance such as school fees, athletic, and activity fee waivers. Again, completing the application is still necessary for other programs and assists with funding for educational programs in District 15.

A Note from the Central Road Health Office
Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far! With the start of the new school year only a few weeks away, it is time to make sure your child’s health requirements are up to date.
All students new to District 15 will require a current physical exam with all immunizations up to date (Certificate of Child Health Examination), and students new to the State of Illinois will require an eye examination. This form is available in the school office, online, and here: State of Illinois Eye Examination Report.
All students should provide proof of immunizations by October 15, 2022 or the student will be excluded from school. The list of current immunizations can be found on the district website here: IDPH Health Requirements.
Students with health conditions such as asthma, epilepsy/seizures, severe allergies, and diabetes require the emergency action plan completed by their physician along with the Medication Administration Forms, signed by the physician and parent, for any medications required at school. Please bring these forms and medications on or before the first day of school. These forms are available in the school office, online, and here.
Diabetic Medical Management Plans must be brought in along with medication and supplies prior to or on the first day of school in order for the student to attend. If your child requires any of these health documents and you have not done so already, please kindly make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. If you have any questions regarding the above requirements, you may contact our school office. Thank you for your patience. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your summer!
