Great to have the kids back and get in the "swing of things" at school. Summer was a lot of work, but it paid off with some great memories which I will post soon...keep an eye out for them!
Remember to bring gym shoes to school for SAFETY during PE AND recess.
Parents, I look forward to meeting you tonight at Parent Night.

Lets keep active!!!
As summer rolls around, remember to keep active, get outside and exercise!!!
Try something new, a new sport, new hobby? Give it a try and see how things go.
Keep reading and writing over summer. I practice with my son all the time!
Just because we are on "break" from school doesn't mean you are on a break from learning!
Have a Fun, Safe, Active summer!!!

Field Day
We did it, and in style!!
FINALLY got some decent weather and pulled off a good field day.
I would like to thank ALL of the parent volunteers who helped make this day possible for the kids. I would also like to thank food service for being able to make 2 BUSY lunch schedules instead of the usual 3. I would also like to thank Dawn Dalton for creating the signup genius...3 TIMES and for all of her help on Field Day!
Thanks to all of your help the kids had a great time!

Thanks to all those who participated in the 5th grade track meet at South Middle School! What a great time and many, many kids broke their records! Way to go!
Volleyball!!!
So...mother nature doesn't know it is Spring yet....

Indiana Jones Part 3
Indiana Jones part 3!!!! Are you crazy?!?! Kids had a blast playing the brand new part 3...they had to jump or slide around jagged rocks, leap into Hula hoops, squeeze thru the cavern, cross the small bridge, leap over dangerous snakes, avoid the boulders and cross the lava bridge. Once they got the crystal skull THEY HAD TO GO BACK!!! Kids had a blast trying to see how many skulls they could steal in 3 minutes, then switched and became the "traps."
Look for pics coming soon!!

Lunch $ for Parents
To the Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of School District 25 Elementary Student(s):
It is your responsibility to monitor your student(s) lunch account balance(s) using an on-line account at www.mymealtime.com. The ID number needed to add each student to your account is the same number students use as a “server password” to log on to school computers. There is no cost for setting up an account. Only if you decide to pay on line is there a fee. You are always welcome to send in checks to your child’s school to add funds to your child’s lunch account.
If you have any questions about how to set up an account, please refer to the district website at www.sd25.org, select departments and then food service. On the food service home page select pre payment options. If you need additional assistance please call the Food Service office at 847-758-4883.
Starting April 16th the District will be using an automated phone message to let you know when your child’s account is negative more than $2.65. Calls will be made between 8:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Once your child has a negative account balance in excess of $7.95, they will be called to the office and given an alternate meal. When adding money to your child’s account online there is a twenty-four (24) hour delay in the money showing up in the account. You must print your confirmation letter or send a check with your child to school to avoid the alternative lunch. Alternative lunches are the same price as the regular lunch and will meet nutritional guidelines.
If your family is experiencing financial difficulty, please complete an application to see if you would qualify for free or reduced price meals. Applications are available on the District 25 website or from the office at your child’s school.
Sincerely,
Coletta Hines Newell
