Students and staff in a zoom together and a story page showing Students and staff in a zoom together

One of our peak moments this week was launching our first series of bedtime read alouds. We loved connecting with so many of our families this week in a fun and relaxing way.  Be on the lookout for more stories next week!

We would like to thank all of our families who enjoyed Chipotle on Wednesday night.The PTA sponsored fundraiser brought in over $200 to support our school!

This week’s highlight is Ms. Nowak’s first and second grade classroom. Students have been participating in #DoGoodDecember.  They are sharing about their acts of kindness on a class Padlet.  Students have also been connecting by sharing about their Holiday traditions.  Room 109 Holiday Traditions Padlet

Tuesday, December 7th is another Optimistic Household Virtual Discussion.  Ms. Conway and I both attended last week and walked away with some great tips for our families.  Please see below for details!

Parents can also take steps to ensure that their children develop growth mindsets. The fifth Optimistic Household module, Uncovering Possibilities with a Growth Mindset, is now available for you to access with your family here: Optimistic Household homepage. You can also view the first four modules. Don’t forget to share your family’s experiences with us on social media with #OptimisticHousehold and #54Happiness or by sending photos and videos to [email protected].

New D54 Wellness Website

The year 2020 has been a difficult time for so many people. Throughout this year one thing that hasn’t changed is District 54’s commitment to the well-being of our community. This week we are launching a new online District 54 Wellness Space. This website includes videos, resources and links to valuable activities for students, for families and for staff. For example, the student pages include energizing videos and calming videos, read-alouds of books about feelings, and links to help children manage their emotions. The pages for adults include mental health webinars, COVID-related resources and links to support provided by District 54. We hope you will take the time to explore this self-care website and engage with the resources that best support your needs.

The School District 54 Food Pantry at Mead

The D54 Food Pantry at Mead is open and ready to serve our District 54 families. Although you will not be able to come into the pantry due to COVID restrictions, you will be able to place an order online and pick up at the pantry site.  Please click on this link to place your order online.  If you have any questions, please call (847) 357-6000.

District 54 Food Pantry Donations

During this unprecedented school year our six District 54 food pantries have been utilized more than ever before.  We know that many of our families and community members look to support these pantries especially as the holidays approach.  At this time, for safety reasons, we are not accepting physical supply donations, however monetary donations would be greatly appreciated and well utilized.  District 54 has set up a Food Pantry Donation page for interested families and community members through the Infinite Campus Portal.   To make a monetary donation, please log in to the Infinite Campus Portal HERE and follow the below example:

Log into Infinite Campus the same way you would normally.  On the left hand side you will see an option “School Store”.

Clicking “Shop” will bring you to the below screen.  If your school has set up a donation page, you will see the school’s donation item along with the D54 food pantry.  If your school does not have an additional donation page you will only see the D54 food pantry icon.   You then click “View” in order to see the description and make a donation.
