Happy Friday Families!
It is so hard to believe that this will be our final blog for the year. It has been an amazing year with your children. Thank you for all you have done to make it such a success. We had a great time at our Fun Run today! The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast during the run and the kickball game! Here is what's happening the last few days of school:
Transition Day
The students really enjoyed our time at Twin Groves on Wednesday. They were able to hear all about next year and everything Twin Groves has to offer. They were given quite an informative presentation by Twin's principal, assistant principal, and teachers. They were also given a tour of the building by former Ivy Hall Students. Our students left Twin Groves with a lot of excitement for next year!
Museum of Science and Industry
Our field trip is next Wednesday, May 31st. Please send your child with a sack lunch. Please not send money with your child and we are also asking that they do not bring any electronics on the trip. We are so looking forward to a day of exploring!
A Note From Our Tech Department Regarding iPad Collection
As the end of the year is quickly approaching, we are beginning to prepare collection of learning tools and materials. Collection this year for 4th and 5th graders includes the iPads, iPad cases, the charging brick, and the lightning/charging cable.
Each grade level is scheduled for an "iPad Collection Day." 4th Grade is scheduled for June 2 and 5th grade is scheduled for June 1. Please make sure your child has their iPad, iPad case, charging brick, and lightning/charging cable on the appropriate day. If a student is missing an item or it's damaged, this will result in a fine. If there is a fine, parents will be notified with a note that is sent home. Checks can be made out to Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96 and sent to the Business Office at Ivy Hall or returned to your teacher before the end of the school year. Please see below for more specific information regarding fines.
Damage to Hardware
- Students WILL NOT be charged for damage to iPads.
- Students WILL NOT be charged for missing or damaged lightning/charging cables.
- Students WILL BE charged for missing or damaged charging bricks. The fine is $19.00.
- Students WILL BE charged for missing or damaged (beyond normal wear and tear) cases. Tearing, chunks missing, etc, are pretty good examples of beyond normal wear and tear. The fine is $35.00.
