From the Desk of Mrs. Del Prete
Hello Bridgeview Families,
I can't believe that we are in the thick of fall! The weather has changed, the trees are losing their leaves, and winter is knocking at our door. With the start of November, we have closed out Q1 and have moved on to Q2. Staff is working diligently to provide support to your learners as they gain more skills and begin to master concepts that may have been brand new to them at the start of this year.
Along with the close of Q1, it is important for you to be sure that you have access to your child(ren)'s grades through our Parent PowerSchool portal. If you created an account in the past, you are good to go! If you do not yet have an account, you should have received an email from our Tech Department last week with a special code and directions on how to create your parent account. Once you have this account created, you can access your child(ren)'s grades at any time, from any device! If you need support with creating your account, please do not hesitate to reach out to our D109 Tech Department.
Later this month we will hold our Parent/Teacher Conferences. This is a great time to sit down for a brief period of time to discuss your child(ren)'s progress so far this school year. We are offering conferences in-person or from a virtual platform to help accommodate your needs. See below for a link to sign up for a time to see your child(ren)'s teacher(s).
Thank you always for your support, love, and care for our staff and students.
Until next month,
Candice

Don't Be Late!
8:10AM 1st Bell
8:15AM Tardy Bell
2:30PM School Dismissed
All students arriving late to school (after 8:15AM) must report to the office for a tardy slip. Every 5th tardy a note will be sent home. Continuous tardiness may constitute other disciplinary consequences. Our goal is for all students to arrive at school on time each day. When students are late, they miss instructional opportunities. Please keep in mind that students arriving after 9:15AM are no longer considered tardy, but will instead receive a half day absence.
Being late is detrimental to all students' learning, especially if it occurs on a consistent basis. Be sure to do all you can to prevent tardiness. Your child will thank you for it!
