Dear Families,
The month of December has been packed with many learning activities and we are so proud of our students!! On Wednesday, December 21st the students participated in our PTO winter parties. The students always have a great time during these festivities and we certainly could not do it without the help of our PTO.
January will continue to be an eventful month. Our winter MAP session will take place mid-January and the students will be focusing on their goals to think about what they can do as learners in order to continue to make growth. The ACCESS testing window is January 11th -February 28th . As always we appreciate your support and partnership by providing nutritional breakfasts, ensuring attendance, wearing weather appropriate clothing, arriving on time, and most importantly, encouraging them to do their best. We cannot wait to see how much the students have learned so far this year! As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Again this year, we will be implementing a child sexual abuse prevention program in our schools to support Public Act 097-1147, also known as Erin’s Law. Throughout the Month of January, Medinah Primary School students will participate in the Child Protection Unit through our current Second Step Curriculum. Students will learn skills and rules to keep themselves safe in a variety of situations. Medinah Intermediate students will participate in the Child Protection Unit at the end of February and into March.
We wish everyone a wonderful break and a Happy New Year. We hope you enjoy your time with your family and look forward to starting the 2023 year together. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Natalie Czarnecki
Principal, Medinah Intermediate School
