RE: Parents ACCESS to school building amended
Date: Sunday, March 15, 2020
Out of abundance of caution, all DeKalb schools will ONLY be open tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2020 from 8am-1pm. After Monday, March 16th, DeKalb is shutting down buildings for a period of time. All Huntley Hills school events are canceled until further notice.
Tomorrow, access to the building will only be for parents who need to collect medications and/or VERGE assignments for Pre-K, Kindergarten and/or traditional 1st grade. The building is not open for enrollment requests, withdrawals, parent conferences, etc.
If parents/students need assistance with VERGE or assignments, please contact your teacher via email or REMIND101. Teachers are available via email/REMIND101 during work hours Mon-Friday. Parents should have received a letter from your child’s teacher regarding their availability.
Schools serving lunches for students are ‘grab and go’.
A few tips to keep you and your child(ren) organized:
= Plan a time for schoolwork (example: 8am-1pm)
= Establish an area for school assignments
= Ensure your child reads every day for 20 minutes
= Work on addition, subtraction, and/or multiplication facts
= Pace VERGE assignments (refrain from completing all assignments in one day)
Parents, thank you so much for your patience during this time. We will keep you updated through emails/texts, eblasts, and the HH website for information as it is received from the district.
The Huntley Hills School Council received input from parents regarding support for a school uniforms. The support for a school uniform was overwhelming (with a margin approximately 3:1).
Please be reminded of the uniform attire for Huntley Hills students which include:
Tops (with collars only; polo style): White, light blue, canary yellow, or navy blue
Bottoms (long pants, shorts, skirts, or jumpers): Navy blue, jeans or khakis
Tiger House, STEM shirts or Spirit Wear T-shirts can be worn on Fridays! Shirts are expected to be tucked in. Thanks for your cooperation as we strive to improve our school in every way.
