Donations will be collected in boxes by each classroom door from November 18 – 22. The pantry will be preparing Thanksgiving boxes to distribute, so they would appreciate donations of boxed stuffing and potatoes, canned vegetables, and jars of gravy. They also always need soup, pasta, chili, toiletries and diapers. Thank you for supporting our food drive! Holiday Shop Time! The shop will be open for student shopping: Tuesday, Dec. 3 & Wednesday, Dec. 4: 9:30am – 3:30pm The Holiday Shop is a much-loved tradition and a fun way for students to shop for family and friends. Look for a preview link (coming soon) so you and your student can create a shopping list or just send them with a budget and let them surprise you! The Holiday Shop is run entirely by volunteers. This year we need multiple volunteers for 2-hour shifts to help students stay on time, manage budgets, wrap gifts, restock shelves, and make the experience fun! Please click on the link and sign up for any available time slot(s). For questions, contact Amanda NelsonDowns at (630) 460-1853 or Deena Vargocko at (630) 456-1696. Thank you for your support!

Additional information BPS101 Attendance Awareness (Priority 2) Fall is in full swing, and winter is right around the corner, bringing holiday celebrations, family gatherings, colder temps, and…the dreaded spike in illnesses. While it may be more tempting to keep your child out of school for vacations or to avoid exposure to others, a regular attendance routine is important for your child’s well-being, learning, and long-term success. Please check out the following resources for some tips to keep your child healthy and avoid unnecessary absences from school: Health Guidance for School Attendance Tips to Keep Your Student Healthy and In School Seeking additional information about attendance policies in BPS101?
