The Eagle's Landing, 13

NOVEMBER

11th - Veterans Day (Red, White and Blue Day)

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

We are excited to celebrate Veterans Day and honor all the brave men and women who have served our country. This is a special day to show our gratitude for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

Our Lost & Found is overflowing with hoodies, lunch boxes, and other items still waiting to be claimed!

All items will be on display Wednesday, November 12, and Thursday, November 13, so students will have a chance to look through them. Teachers will help bring classes down, but please remind your child to check if they’ve misplaced something.

Please make sure to label your child’s belongings in the future to help prevent items from getting lost. Any unclaimed items will be donated to charity after Nov 13, 2025

Are you or someone you know struggling to access enough food? We know that times can be challenging, and our school community is here to help.

If your family is in need of food, reach out via this confidential google form. Please know Ivy Hill is here for your family and all responses are confidential and private.

Complete the google form by Monday, November 10th to sign up to receive food and basic need benefits via our Eagle Eats program.

Again, your responses in this form are confidential and private.

Together, in partnership with the Ivy Hill PTA, we want to make sure every student and family has what they need to learn, grow, and feel cared for.

If your family is in need of immediate food assistance, the following organizations may be able to help:

• Northern Illinois Food Bank – www.solvehungertoday.org

• Greater Chicago Food Depository – www.chicagosfoodbank.org

• Wheeling Township Food Pantry – Information on how to make an appointment to shop at the pantry

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!

Date: Friday, November 14

Time: 3:35–6:30 pm

Come explore a fantastic selection of books with your child! Every purchase helps our school provide books to Ivy Hill students, including supporting our Birthday Book Program. In-person shopping happens on November 14, and online shopping will be available from November 11 through November 24 for added convenience.

Share the online link with out-of-town family members or pick up some holiday-themed books to make reading part of your celebrations.

We are also looking to fill volunteer spots! If you have time to help, your support would make this event possible.

Mark your calendars—we look forward to seeing you there!

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.

As Veterans Day approaches, we pause to honor all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Their bravery and commitment inspire us to value service, respect, and gratitude. We are especially thankful for the veterans within our school community and their families.

Thank you for your service and the example you set for future generations.

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.
