WELCOME TO DECEMBER!!!
I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather today. As the weather turns colder (predicted next week), please remember that we do go outside when it is pretty chilly. Sending your child in appropriate winter gear is important and please make sure to label anything that is sent in to school. This is the time of year when the Lost and Found is overflowing so please feel free to come in and look through it if you are missing items at home.
With winter weather on the way, please make sure to review the school closing procedures on our website. While it is always the goal to have students in school, when safety is an issue, there is no compromise in placing children at risk. With that in mind, when there is a forecast of inclement weather, television and radio stations, as well as reports from the National Weather Service and Weather Channel, are monitored. When heavy snow or extremely cold temperatures are predicted, superintendents in neighboring school districts begin planning as early as 4:30 a.m. the morning of, or sometimes even the night before a storm. Communication is maintained with District 70's bus company representatives and the district's maintenance/snow removal crews as well. Please understand that there are many factors that go into making the final decision because D70 understands canceling school may be inconvenient for students and parents, as well as teachers and staff. Please visit our website for more information about how to be notified in the event that school is closed.
We have some great AFA events coming up in the days ahead. Tomorrow I hope to see a great turn out at the AFA Pancake Breakfast and Holiday Shoppe from 7:30 – 10:30 am. We also have the Adler Talent Show on December 5th at Highland Middle School starting at 7:00 pm. All are welcome. Enjoy this festive and fun time of the year!
