Hey families! We still have some hoodies, jackets, and other items looking for their owners.
Peek at the attached photos — do you see anything that belongs to your child?

Please pick up items by October 31 — after that, anything left behind will find a new home through donation!

It was wonderful to see so many families take the time to connect with teachers and discuss each child’s progress and goals. Your engagement and support play a vital role in your child’s learning journey. We truly appreciate your partnership and commitment to our school community.

A special thank you to our PTA for providing dinner, and to the parents who brought delicious homemade salads and desserts — everything was enjoyed and appreciated!

Our Cultural Arts Chairs, Colleen Sintich and Kym Wehrle, brought a vibrant Diwali assembly to Ivy Hill this fall! The music and dance group Bollywood Grove visited our school to share the stories and significance of the five days of Diwali through lively performances and storytelling. Students and staff had a wonderful time learning, dancing, and celebrating together.

A big thank you to our PTA for organizing this amazing cultural experience and helping our students explore the beauty of traditions from around the world.
Enjoy a few photos capturing the joy and energy of the celebration!

Show your spirit by dressing in the theme for the day!

• K-5 students will participate in a parade, and ECDEC students will join them.
• Parents must remain outside the building, lining the parade route.
• Please leave sidewalks clear for the parade walkers.
• Do NOT bring food or treats

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.
