NOVEMBER

21st - Spirit Day (Hat Day)

24th - 28th - Thanksgiving Break (NO SCHOOL)

Thank you to all the veterans and their guests who joined us for a wonderful Veterans Day celebration. Your presence made the day truly special. A huge thank you to our amazing school staff for all their hard work in making this event possible — we couldn’t have done it without you! Here are some moments from the day

Our Book Fair wrapped up on Friday after a fun week of excitement and page-turning energy! Students and teachers enjoyed special preview days on Wednesday and Thursday, getting a sneak peek at all the new books before the big event.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing PTA for organizing, setting up, running, and making the entire Book Fair possible.

Your hard work and dedication brought so much joy to our school community!

Thank you to all the students, families, and staff who visited and supported the fair. Your enthusiasm helps keep the love of reading alive!

Dear Ivy Hill Families

Winter is here! To make sure your child can enjoy outdoor recess safely and comfortably, please send them with the proper winter gear every day.

• A warm coat

• Hat and gloves

• Winter boots

• Snow pants & Snow Boots (when snow is on the ground)

Students without appropriate clothing will need to remain on the cleared blacktop and cannot play in the snow.

Thank you for helping ensure a safe and enjoyable recess for all students!

We’re excited to celebrate our school spirit with some upcoming themed days.These days are a fun way for students and staff to come together and share in the excitement of being part of our school community. We can’t wait to see everyone joining in!

Dear Ivy Families !

With the cooler weather and illnesses increasing, we want to remind you that all medication, including over-the-counter items such as cough drops and throat lozenges, must be brought to school by a parent or guardian and stored in the health office. A medication authorization form must also be completed by a doctor for each medication (linked here).

Every day that your child is not in school, is late or is leaving early the office needs to know!! There are three ways to notify us and they are available 24 hours a day!

1. Our GOOGLE FORM - just write in the information - you don't have to talk to anyone!

2. Our ATTENDANCE HOT LINE - Just call 847-398-4275 (the main number) and press 1 - leave us a message.

3. Email office - ihoffice@sd25.org

If you don't notify us, we are required to call you so PLEASE let us know if your child is absent, late or leaving early!!

We want every student to get home safely and smoothly, and your help makes a big difference! Dismissal is at 3:35 p.m. — please plan to pick up walkers at that time.

If your child’s usual dismissal plans change—for example, being picked up by someone different, walking home instead of taking the bus, or any other change—in addition to emailing your child’s teacher, please also email the school office at ihoffice@sd25.org.

Thank you for keeping us in the loop! With your support, dismissal can be calm, organized, and as joyful as the start of the day.

November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor and celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native peoples. It’s an opportunity to learn about history, recognize achievements, and appreciate the diverse communities that shape our country.

This Thanksgiving, we’re especially thankful for our students, families, and staff.
Your kindness, hard work, and support make our school such a special place to learn and grow. We’re grateful for the sense of community that shines through in all you do—whether in the classroom, at events, or through everyday moments of care and teamwork. As we take time to reflect on all we’re thankful for, we wish you a safe, restful, and joyful Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends.
