January 24, 2020
Dear Families,
What a terrific week it's been. There are so many fabulous things happening for kids in our
District, and I'm so proud to be a part of them. We are all so grateful for our students and
appreciate the support and partnership of our families...it takes us ALL to make sure every
learner is working to their potential!
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 and attached to this email a 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.
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.

As a reminder, the Mobile Dentist is coming to Lotus and Stanton on February 10th and 11th. Forms went home earlier this month. If you would like your student to be seen by the mobile dentist, please fill out the form and return it to the office no later than Wednesday January 29th.
Additional copies will also be available in the office of each school. If you have any questions, please call Jessica Lanners, our District Nurse, at (847) 973-4229.
