Hello everyone! The Wasco Wellness Team wanted to do a project involving

different cultures and the foods they bake around Christmas time! In this Recipe Book each Wellness Team member will present to you a country, a dish, the ingredients, how to make it, and some healthy alternatives that you can use to make the dish! We hope you enjoy this Recipe Book that we worked so very hard on! Merry Christmas from your Wasco Wellness Team!

Join K-9 Koda on Saturday December 23rd from 7am – 10am at the Congregational United Church of Christ, located at 40W451 Fox Mill Blvd. for a morning of fun. Koda is helping support the Elburn-Campton Hills C.E.R.T. group by hosting a pancake breakfast. The breakfast is by donation and will include pancakes, eggs, sausage, orange juice, and coffee. Santa Claus is making an early trip to Campton Hills and will take photos with each child in attendance and give them an early Christmas gift. C.E.R.T. is made up of volunteers who receive specialized training and aid Elburn and Campton Hills during emergencies, including weather disasters, accident scenes, and searches. Help Koda support this amazing organization!

Early Release:

One Wednesday per month, students will have an early release and dismissal will occur at 2:10pm. Please refer to the district website.

If possible, please make sure to notify the teacher and the office if your student is leaving early.

Absences should be called in by 7:45 AM if your child will be absent for any portion of the day. The number is 331-228-2900 and has voicemail. You can call during the evening or overnight and leave a message. Please leave your child’s name, their teacher's name and the reason why your child is out. If they are ill, please indicate their symptoms. You are also welcome to email absence information to Candy Thoke in the main office at candace.thoke@d303.org.

When using the drop off lane, please drive all the way forward so that we can load/unload as many cars as possible. Please stay in your car. If you wish to get out and load your child, you are welcome to park in the lot. By following this procedure, we can expedite everyone’s waiting times in the car lane.
