Hello SD 308 Families,

I hope this message finds you well. This week, I am requesting your assistance in talking with your child(ren) about the importance of keeping threatening words and/or inappropriate discussions out of school. Recently we've worked through a number of situations where students said things that caused fear in others. While intentions of harm may not always be real, when potentially threatening language or topics are discussed it necessitates a response. We want all students to feel safe while at school and we try to minimize disruptions as much as possible.

I am so proud of the students who have come forward to report to a trusted adult when things they see or hear are concerning, "see something, say something". We take each of these reports seriously and conduct a full investigation in order to maintain a safe learning environment in our schools.

It's important for students to remember that their choice of words and actions can cause serious repercussions when they generate fear and disruption at school. Resources are used each time we investigate these situations, including consultation and sometimes response from police. Thank you for your help in reviewing with your child(ren) what is appropriate to discuss at school, and what is not. It's hard for students to understand that even when they're joking, certain statements have to be taken seriously and consequences may be significant.

As always, we value our important family and school partnership as we work together to provide students with the best educational experience possible.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!

Students, teachers, and parents across Illinois now have an opportunity to participate in the eleventh annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of a school. For parents, this opportunity allows them to share their thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about their child’s school. If at least 20 percent of parents at each school complete this survey, a parent supplement report will be generated. To take the survey visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin. Note: you must choose Kendall County in order to locate all SD 308 schools. Please complete the survey between now and March 31.
