Cell Phone Reminder in School Zones
Please remember that talking on cell phones in school zones is prohibited in Illinois, unless a hands-free device is being used. Please help keep our children safe by ensuring that any grandparent, sibling, or other family member that would pick up a student knows this law. We want to make sure that our students, staff, and parents are all safe during arrival and dismissal. We truly appreciate your help.
Erin's Law Presentation
Last week, Victor Pacini talked to our students about Erin's Law and being seen and being heard. We understand that several of our students went home to talk to their parents regarding the information they learned at the presentation. Feel free to download a free copy of Victor's book Be Seen and Be Heard, so you can have a conversation with your child.
Stay warm out there, and have a fantastic week!
