Neubert Elementary School

Dear Neubert Families,

This Thursday, our students will take part in a 9/11 observance activity to honor and remember the events of September 11th. As a show of solidarity and support, we encourage all students to wear red, white, and blue on Thursday, September 11th. Read below for more details.

Thank you for helping us create a meaningful day of reflection and unity for our school community.

Wishing everyone a great week ahead!

Your Partner in Education,

Ms. Nicole Bryan, Principal
Neubert Elementary School

In this section, we will be highlighting a Neubert staff member! Continue reading to learn more about one of our Occupational Therapists, Nadine Noreen!

"This is my 4th year in D300 and 2nd year at Neubert. I was a D300 graduate! After high school I went to Illinois State University and then continued onto Colorado State University for my Masters degree in Occupational Therapy. My husband and I live in the area and we got married a little over a year ago. We have 1 cat named Garbie and a leopard gecko named June. I love to read and do crafts on my Cricut. My husband and I enjoy being outside and spending time with our families! I am always happy to drink a Dunkin' caramel iced coffee and eat some dark chocolate. I love working with all the students at Neubert and I know this will be a great year!"

At Neubert, we are so lucky to have such a dedicated and caring staff! We invite you to take a moment to recognize a staff member who has made a difference for your child(ren) or family. Your personal messages will be sent directly to the receiving staff member. Your kind words mean so much and help us celebrate the amazing work happening every day!

Neubert Spirit Wear Days are back! Mark your calendars!

As part of our observance, students and staff will be creating origami paper cranes. In Japanese culture, paper cranes are a symbol of healing and peace. After the attacks in New York City, people left cranes at the fence near Ground Zero. Many of those, along with thousands more sent by Japanese students, are now part of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. In a powerful act of solidarity, following the devastating tsunami in Japan in 2011, the 9/11 Family Association gifted Japan an origami crane crafted from steel recovered from the World Trade Center—an enduring symbol of hope in the face of tragedy.

Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue on 9/11 and class photos will be taken with their cranes!

As Superintendent Dr. Martina Smith shared in her summer communications, starting this year, our schools will be strengthening emergency response procedures by implementing the Standard Response Protocol and the Standard Reunification Method, both developed by the “I Love U Guys” Foundation.

The Standard Response Protocol outlines five clear actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. These actions are designed to help keep students and staff safe in a variety of situations, including medical events, severe weather, police activity near the school, and more.

In addition, District 300 is adopting the Standard Reunification Method to provide a safe and organized process for reuniting students with their families should an emergency occur.

To learn more about these safety enhancements, please review the Standard Response Protocol for the District 300 Community (PDF).
