We had a great week back to school after the nice long Thanksgiving break. Our students have jumped right back into their school routines and are working hard during remote learning.
This week’s classroom highlight is Mrs. Bach’s 2nd grade dual language class. Students in room 110 spent time sharing what they were thankful for and sharing their own creations of stone gardens after reading the story, The Stone Garden. We hope you enjoy this week’s spotlight! Room 110 Highlight
Parents, please see information below about the Optimistic Household Series. There are great resources to access as a family, along with some live Zoom sessions. The next module is about Being Adaptive in the Midst of Uncertainty and Change. We hope you find this resource beneficial.
Sometimes we come across obstacles in our lives that lower our overall level of happiness and disrupt our path to success. The fourth Optimistic Household module, Being Adaptive in the Midst of Uncertainty and Change, is now available for you to access with your family here: Optimistic Household homepage. You can also view the first three 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].
Today, students had an opportunity to have their questions about 7th grade answered with the junior high assistant principals during a live Q & A zoom session. Next year’s scheduling is around the corner, and a 7th grade Elective Selection Google Form were emailed to you and your child today. Please be on the lookout for that. The Elective Selection Google Forms must be submitted by Friday, December 11th. In addition, the junior highs will also be sharing a 6th Grade Parent Night video. Both the Elective Selection Google Form and Parent Video will be emailed to you by your student’s junior high administration. For our Dual Language and Chinese Immersion families, there will be an additional video shared with you in that same email. The goal for all videos is to provide specific information about the program your child is enrolled in.
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.
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.
