NOVEMBER

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

DECEMBER

1st (Monday) Return to School

Just a reminder that there will be no school next week for Thanksgiving break. Classes will resume on Monday, December 1. We hope everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday with family and friends!

Our kindergarteners had their very first field trip of the year to Prairie Lake Theatre! They enjoyed a fun and engaging show, making memories with their classmates. This is just the beginning—many more exciting adventures are ahead this year!

A huge thank you to our amazing third grade teachers for bringing the Thanksgiving Balloon Parade to life! Their creativity, guidance, and enthusiasm helped students design and showcase their festive parade balloons. The hallways were full of color and holiday cheer thanks to their hard work and dedication.

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!

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.
