As if the Covid-19 pandemic hasn't given us enough to think about, the holiday season is just around the corner! We all know that as the hustle and bustle of our lives gets even busier, it is important to remember what matters most, family and our health.

The CDC gives us guidance for how to remain safe during the upcoming holidays as we may gather with family and possibly friends. Click here to learn more.

Looking for something that will give you and your family access to more digital books?

The Open eBooks app will give kids access to a digital library of thousands of popular and award-winning children’s and young adult eBooks for free! Never before have educators and librarians had the ability to actively teach digital literacy, encourage family engagement, and share the love of reading through millions of mobile devices already in the hands of young people and their families. Open eBooks makes this possible.

The free app allows kids of all ages and their caregivers to instantly download up to 10 eBooks at a time to their mobile digital devices. Each eBook will be available for 56 days before it must be renewed. Students and their families can choose eBooks based on the topics that get them excited about reading and learning, and search for eBooks by title or author.

The Open eBooks app is intended for children to use at home for pleasure reading (independently or with their families), but it can also be used in your school, library or program. Each student will need one code and PIN combination to use on his or her family’s device at home. This will be provided upon completion of the parent consent Google Form shared here and in your student’s Library Google Classroom.

Please make sure to call your child(ren) in if they will not be attending remote learning classes for the day. Our attendance line can be reached by dialing (708) 496-8713.

Teachers will be tracking attendance in Google Classroom so you will not need to fill out an attendance form each day. The classroom teacher will handle this for you.

8:10AM 1st Bell

8:15AM Tardy Bell

1:45PM School Dismissed

All students arriving late to school (after 8:15AM) must report to the office for a tardy slip. Every 5th tardy a note will be sent home. Continuous tardiness may constitute other disciplinary consequences. Our goal is for all students to arrive at school on time each day. When students are late, they miss instructional opportunities. Please keep in mind that students arriving after 9:15AM are no longer considered tardy, but will instead receive a half day absence.

Being late is detrimental to all students' learning, especially if it occurs on a consistent basis. Be sure to do all you can to prevent tardiness. Your child will thank you for it!
