As we continue through the final weeks of winter, student safety remains a top priority. Changing weather conditions can create additional hazards, so we appreciate your partnership in helping keep all students safe at school.

Please review these important winter safety reminders:

• Use caution on snow and ice: Students are reminded to walk carefully, avoid running on icy surfaces, and follow staff directions during arrival, dismissal, and recess.

• Play safely during recess: Throwing snow or ice is not permitted. Students should use designated play areas and follow playground expectations.

• Dress for changing weather: Mornings can be cold and afternoons warmer. Dressing in layers helps students stay comfortable throughout the day.

• Arrival and dismissal safety: Please allow extra time during snowy or icy conditions and be mindful of traffic flow and pedestrian safety in school zones.

• Stay home when sick: If your child is not feeling well, keeping them home helps prevent the spread of illness and keeps everyone safer.

By working together, we can ensure a safe, smooth end to the winter season and a positive learning environment for all students.

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. The earlier in the day that we know, the easier it is on our end.

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.
