It was truly heartwarming to see so many families come together to celebrate the rich diversity of our school community. Families proudly shared their cultures through food, displays, traditions, and meaningful conversations. The evening was filled with learning, laughter, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event so special. A special appreciation goes to our amazing "The Equity Committee" for organizing such a beautiful event and to our Art Teacher "Ms Kara Lee" for leading the creative decoration project that made the space so vibrant and welcoming.

We are also grateful to all staff members who supported and participated in the evening. Your teamwork and dedication made this celebration unforgettable!

Please enjoy the attached pictures highlighting some of the wonderful moments from the night.

We truly appreciate your help! Please take a moment to look through the attached items that are still waiting to be claimed. Any unclaimed items will be lovingly donated after Friday, February 27.

Parents are more than welcome to stop by and check the Lost & Found on school days between 8:50 a.m. and 3:35 p.m.
We’d be happy to help reunite any missing items with their owners!

Regular attendance at school is an essential part of each student’s educational experience in District 25. If your child will be absent, we ask that you report the absence using the method designated for your school, listed below.

Please notify the office if your child is absent, late, or leaving early:

• Google Form

• Attendance Hotline: 847‑398‑4275 (press 1 & leave a message)

• Email: ihoffice@sd25.org
  

If the school office has not been notified of a child’s absence by 9:05 a.m., the school will contact the parent/guardian. If they cannot be reached, the school will attempt to contact the emergency contacts listed on the student’s emergency form (included in the registration packet).

These procedures are in place to ensure families are informed each day and that all students are accounted for and safe.

Parents may request that their child be excused from Physical Education for one day due to a medical reason. Any absence beyond one day requires a physician’s note.

For elementary students, physician orders must clearly state any restrictions for both Physical Education and Recess. Students who are unable to participate in Physical Education may not participate in school-sponsored sports during that time.

Elementary students regularly participate in outdoor activities during Physical Education classes, daily recess, and the lunch period. For the safety of all students, children are expected to go outside during these times unless there is a documented medical reason. If your child needs to remain indoors, a physician’s note is required that specifically states the outdoor restriction.

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!!

Black History Month is a time to celebrate and honor the achievements, contributions, and voices of Black Americans—past and present. Throughout the month, students will engage in learning experiences that highlight history, culture, and the importance of equity and respect.

Presidents Day is a day we recognize and honor the presidents of the United States. It gives students a chance to learn about the leaders who helped shape our country. We talk about what leadership means and how presidents serve the people. Students also explore how our nation has changed over time. Presidents Day helps us reflect on responsibility, service, and making a positive difference.

Lunar New Year is a celebration that marks the beginning of a new year based on the lunar calendar.

The holiday represents new beginnings, good luck, and happiness. It is a time to reflect on the past year and welcome the year ahead.

Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, during which they fast from sunrise to sunset and focus on prayer, reflection, and helping others. It is a time for self-discipline, gratitude, and spending time with family and community. The month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Ramadan teaches important values like patience, generosity, and caring for those in need. It is a special time to celebrate faith, family, and community.
