Hello Munhall Families!

In art class, our students upload a photo of their work onto Artsonia, the world’s largest online student art museum. It's a free, safe, educational program designed to connect parents and families with their child's creative activities at school. Many of you are familiar with Artsonia because we have used it in the past.

Founded over 15 years ago, Artsonia has been recognized with the national distinguished service award for outstanding contribution to the arts by the National Art Education Association, as well as the distinguished service award by the state art associations in New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan and Colorado.

Families in Kindergarten and those new to Munhall, please check your students' backpacks in the next week or so for a slip of paper, which contains the information you will need to activate and access their Artsonia account.

We participate only for the digital gallery and it is not necessary to purchase anything that Artsonia offers. Thank you for your support! If you have further questions or if the paper slip gets misplaced, please don’t hesitate to contact me at: kellsa.jontz@d303.org

Recently, we have had several cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease ( HFD) at Munhall. Kane County Health Department has reported an increase in HFD this fall. Please review the signs, symptoms and when to keep your child home. Please notify attendance or the nurse if your child has (HFM). Thank you!

• Gain concrete tools to support positive school attendance and resilience.
