MUSTANG MINUTE

With our ever-increasing number of families dropping off and picking up their child(ren), it is IMPERATIVE that ALL laws are followed when driving a motor vehicle. We have more cars than ever that are arriving and leaving each day; therefore, please be patient and DO NOT go around buses. Exiting Dering Lane, you have a stop sign. Those entering Dering Lane, do not have a stop sign. They have the right of way.

Many students were honored for their September display of Habit #1-Be Proactive last Friday, September 29th before school! Let's get ready to honor students who exhibit Habit #2-Begin with the End in Mind later in October!

Do you know anyone interested in working as a paraprofessional?!? Or anyone interested in working for Arbor? We are hiring for THIS school year! If you have specific questions, please reach out! Check out our vacancies HERE!

Lake Villa District 41 is looking for a parent/guardian who is a graphic artist to help in the creation of our Portrait of a Graduate logo. If interested, please contact Sandy Keim at skeim@district41.org.

Our "Lost and Found" is filling up quickly this year. Please review some items pictured below to have your child bring these items to their proper home!

With SO many families picking up and dropping off their children, we really appreciate everyone waiting in the car line as patiently as possible. We have added more staff to accommodate the numbers and are retrieving students as safely as possible. As a reminder, if you are in need of an additional window sign, please reach out to the school office.

Please join us at the Upcoming Curriculum Advisory Council Meeting

Notes from the Health Office

Each student should have a change of clothes at school. Accidents happen at lunch, recess, and in class, it's nice to have a spare pair of clothes.

As the seasons continue to change make sure your student has weather appropriate clothing.

Your student(s) should eat a good breakfast, drink water, get exercise, wash hands often, and get a good night's sleep daily!
