Greetings
Medinah Families,
Our district
will celebrate American Education Week this month in honor of our staff who
give their all every day to put children and their education first. We are grateful
for our Medinah Staff!
Now that we
are approaching daylight savings time and the start of some cooler weather
patterns it is important to provide essential safety reminders.
- While outside walking to and/or from school it is important to be alert.
- Look both ways, be aware of your environment, eyes up, phones down, walk in a group, walk on sidewalks, be a good role model, be visible.
- Dress for the weather.
- Dress as warm as possible on cold days.
- We recommend that students dress in layers, wear hats, gloves, coats and boots.
With the
weather changing we want to remind families of our plans for e-learning days in the case of
inclement weather. Please ensure that your contact information is updated with your child’s school. See Emergency School Closing Information.
Besides
setting our clocks back and changing smoke detector batteries at this time of
the year. This is also a great time to discuss and review the Medinah Student
Code of Conduct with your child. Having conversations about what being safe,
caring, respectful and responsible look like will continue to help with
maintaining a positive learning climate here in Medinah.
Medinah
Student Code
