For students who wish to opt out, we will have a separate learning space available. Please call the office to let us know if your child will not be attending classroom celebrations.
Immigration Information Hub
This week was intense for many members of the Carpentersville community. This website offers many helpful resources and guidance to: learn your rights, understand what to do if someone in your family is detained, prepare for an ICE encounter, review policy changes, develop family emergency plans and more. Go to the top right corner of the website to change the languages.
Join us for a joyful, educational, and inclusive celebration. Come enjoy food tastings, performances, storytelling, art, or interactive displays. Hosted by our District Equity Team, on Monday, October 27th from 6-8PM in the BHS Cafeteria & Lower Atrium. Our very own Sunny Hill principal will be sharing about our Spanish Dual Language program!

đź’ˇ Parent Moves: Encourage Responsibilityđź’ˇ
Encourage Responsibility...in New Ways
Our Character Strong focus for October is Responsibility
This month we are talking about Responsibility. One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others. Responsibility is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Strong.
Across grade levels students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting. Just print the following document to support conversations at home about responsibility.
Be Kind
Be Strong
Be Well
