Dear Families,
We hope you had a relaxing break and holiday. It was wonderful to see everyone back and ready to learn Monday morning.
In the coming weeks, we will be finishing up units of study before we leave for Winter Break. Staff is also planning some fun activities for students on December 18th. More specific information will be shared, after plans are finalized.
Please continue to stay safe and healthy. If at any time you have questions or are in need of additional support, please feel free to contact us sgesbocker@sd104.us or sleone@sd104.us.
All the best,
Dr. Shestine Gesbocker, Principal
