Dear Families,

What a wonderful month of September! It has been great to see students engaged in their learning and having fun with their friends. We are so proud of our students and we reflect every day on how fortunate we are to be part of such a strong and supportive school community. WE ARE MEDINAH STRONG! 

We are looking forward to all of our families attending Parent-Teacher Conferences coming up on the evenings of Tuesday, October 5th and Thursday, October 7th. These conferences will be through zoom. If you have not signed up already, please make sure you do! Your child’s teacher will send out a zoom link for the conference. Please sign on five minutes early. You will be in a waiting room until your teacher finishes up their previous conference. MAP reports and conference forms will be coming home ahead of time, so be on the look-out for those documents that will be discussed during the conference. Your classroom teachers will also be sharing how they are differentiating to meet the needs of your child in the classroom. In order to enforce small class sizes, our specialists are grade level teachers again this year. They continue to serve as a support to other classroom teachers as we continue to focus on meeting the academic needs of each child. We are looking forward to setting goals for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year! There will be no school on October 8th or 11th.

Our goal is to keep students in school, safe, and healthy. We appreciate your support as we continue to follow the safety precautions of wearing our masks and following physical distancing guidelines. Please refer to our Covid 19 Dashboard for updates on the Medinah School District 11 website.  

Finally, we would like to thank our fantastic PTO for their dedication to our schools and community. They work hard every day to support students and teachers by involving families. The PTO is always looking for volunteers. We greatly value the relationships we build with all of our families and recognize that you are your child’s most important teacher! Thank you for all you do to support the school and your child. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time throughout the year. 

Sincerely, 

Natalie Czarnecki
