Inclement Weather Days
Earlier this week the district emailed information to parents regarding the plan for inclement weather. Please take a minute to review the document and be familiar with the schedule changes when we move to a Flexible Instruction Day and the buildings are closed.

HOW TO STAY INFORMED
When the chance for severe or inclement weather looms, we will only post the cancellation of school, athletic events, and other activities.
If school is canceled or a Flexible Learning Day is called due to inclement weather, the information will be available in the following formats:
Posted on our website found HERE.
Posted to social media

Attention 5th Grade Parents!
Treats for Celebrations
Just a gentle reminder to parents: if you are planning to provide treats to be handed out in class for a special celebration, such as a birthday, they need to be individually sealed/wrapped. An example would be Rice Crispy Treats that were factory sealed.
Her is another GREAT option for you as well:
In addition to providing breakfast and lunch, did you know USD 231 Nutrition Services also cater birthday treats directly to the 5th grade classrooms? Hassle-free, safe and affordable options to celebrate your student’s special day.
