Thanksgiving Break

From the Desk of Mr. Sefcik and Mrs. Peters... Dear Parents and Guardians, It was wonderful seeing so many of you at Student-Led Conferences. We hope you found this time with your child valuable. Throughout the year, we encourage you to discuss with your child their educational goals and accomplishments. If you have not already taken the 5Essentials Survey and the Ready Math Survey, we kindly ask if you would take a few minutes of your time to do so. Your input is important and appreciated. The 5Essentials survey looks at five components found to be critical for school success: effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environment, and ambitious instruction. The link for the survey is on the front page of the d114 website. During Teacher Institute Day on October 5, math teachers from Lotus and Stanton received professional development for Ready Math. Teachers were able to explore how to read the diagnostic results that students will be taking three times a year, how to intervene when students do not understand a specific skill, and how to find resources to support student growth.

On Friday, October 19, Mr. Sefcik, 56 students and 8 chaperones traveled to St. Procopius Church in Chicago’s historic Pilsen neighborhood. Students earned the trip by collecting $200.00 or more in Day of Service pledges. The students performed service both inside and outside the church and enjoyed a delicious authentic Mexican lunch. Students and chaperones also had the opportunity to visit the National Museum of Mexican Art. According to Mr. Sefcik, “It was a wonderful day of team bonding, service, culture, and education.”

t was a quiet day on Fox Lake for Stanton’s inaugural fishing trip, but that didn’t dampen

the spirits of the 17 anglers that came out and braved the cool weather and windy lake

conditions. A special thank you to Mr. Lomas, Mr. Olson, and Mr. Schoenbeck for

chaperoning and sharing their fishing skills with the kids. A spring fishing trip is on the

hook, so watch for more details.

Whether we like it or not, cold and flu season is coming. The common Cold and Influenza (flu) share many similar symptoms, so it can be difficult to tell them apart. In general, the flu is worse than the common cold and symptoms are more intense. The common cold is generally not life threatening.

1. Get a flu shot-the CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated against the flu.

2. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, use hand sanitizer if soap and water is not available.

3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth (this is how germs enter your body). 4. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 5. If you are sick, prevent spreading illness by limit contact with others. 6. Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze with a tissue, use the inside of your

elbow if there is no tissue available (wash your hands after).
