Dear Families,
My favorite part of each day is getting to talk to our students to see how they are doing,
what they are learning, and what they like about school. This week, I've gotten hugs, high
fives, and lots of input from students that they really like being here...they feel appreciated,
supported, and connected. They also tell me that they are learning A LOT, which is the
ultimate goal. Thank you for trusting us with your most important people--they are very
important to us, too!
DISTRICT UPDATES
REFERENDUM UPDATE
At their December meeting, the Board of Education unanimously approved ballot language
to place a referendum on the March 17, 2020 ballot. This decision asks our community to
consider a ZERO TAX RATE CHANGE that would allow the District to reallocate funds that
have been used, until now, to pay the bond on Lotus to address other immediate
priorities since the bond will be paid in full in the near future.
Please find linked here list of questions you may have about this
important effort. This is a great opportunity for our District, so please reach out if you have
any questions or need more information.
CORONAVIRUS
Please find information from the Lake County Health Department on this health issue.
We are monitoring closely and will take any steps we need to to keep students and
staff healthy!
Just a reminder that school will NOT be in session on February 14--we have a District
Institute Day full of learning for our staff.
WINTER WEATHER
Please be sure to visit our website to stay current on winter weather processes. I'd love to
say that we WON'T need to use these...but chances are good that we will. Remember, we've added a DELAYED START SCHEDULE for this year, so take a peek at what those bus pick up times will be when/if we run a delayed start.
