Here are a few updates and reminders:

School Bus Behaviors: Mustang families we need your help to communicate with each of our scholars safe and respectful behaviors on the bus to and from school. Please keep in mind that students unable to ride the bus safely, respectfully and responsibly will be given consequences for their behaviors and could be suspended or removed from this opportunity. We will continue to work with First Student on the timeliness of rides, but also need your support to reinforce proper bus behavior.

One Way On Oak Center Drive: We will open the 2022/2023 school year with a designated One Way Street on Oak Center. This proposal was approved by the Oak Lawn Village Board last month and will take effect for next school year! Here is the LINK for the picture of the one way plan.

Morning and After School Drop Off: Please continue to be courteous, safe and careful of one another, our scholars and our neighbors. Keep in mind drop off in the morning or the afternoon must take place on Oak Center Drive in the back of our building. We need the front lot for bus drop off and pick up.

Respecting our Community: Please remind our scholars to be respectful of our neighbors! Now that the weather has finally shifted, more students are walking, which is great, but we have had some concerned community members with the amount of traffic on their property.

Social Media: Continue to monitor and discuss the importance for the use of social media and potential implications for our scholars. Technology and information is at the tips of our fingers. It is all our responsibility to use these tools as positive resources and model respectfulness. Our school continues to be challenged by negative social media interactions affecting our school and scholars.
