Eagle News

On September 15th, Evergreen students had the opportunity to celebrate the book, The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds. The Dot is a wonderful story of a caring teacher who assists a student in trusting their own ability to be brave and "make their mark." This is a beautifully written story and has a message that we want all of our Evergreen Eagles to take to heart!

We will have a fire drill with the Carol Stream Fire Department on Thursday this week. The students have been practicing what to do with their classes since school began in August. We will continue to review and practice this throughout the year.

On Tuesday, students will participate in a lock and teach drill. This is when the teacher closes and locks their door and continues teaching. A Lock & Teach schedule is used to clear the halls. This could be for a medical emergency, or a situation we do not want children to witness. It is a way to account for all our students and to keep them in eye contact without disrupting teaching and learning.

Please call the office with any changes to your child's after school pick-up plans. This will allow for a quicker and safer dismissal. Thank you!

Even if you are accompanying your child, please do not arrive to school before 8:15.

We are looking for adults that are available to sub during lunch and recess supervising our kindergarten-fourth grade students. The lunch shift is from 11:20-1:10. If you are interested or would like more information- please call or email Sarah Smith.

Benjamin School District 25 is always looking for substitute teachers. If you have an interest, please contact Solly Garcia in the District Office, 630-876-7800.

Please no parking in the parking lot from 8:00-8:30. This includes all Evergreen preschool, Best Buddy Preschool and all other Evergreen parents. If you would like to walk your child to their teacher please park across the street and walk over. Please do not park along the grass area in our back parking lot. We can not block that drive thru lane at any time. Thank you for your understanding.

Picture day will be on Tuesday, September 27th.

If your child is going to be absent from school for any reason, please call the Evergreen Office, 630-876-7810, to report your child's absence no later than 8:00 AM the day of the absence.

Thank you so much to the PTA for organizing and planning amazing activities and programs for the students of Benjamin SD 25.
