Attendance is essential and helps ensure your students do their best in school. Regular attendance also ensures that students are consistently engaged in learning and developing critical skills that will contribute to their future success. We understand that children should stay home when they are sick, but if they are healthy, we love seeing our Hornets in the Hive!

A great time to engage with our summer learning resources is right after breakfast each morning. By setting aside just 15 minutes daily to practice and sharpen essential skills, your student will stay on track and be well-prepared when we return to school.

As you prepare for the week ahead, these Summer Academy superstars have a few reminders for you:
Monday: If you drive your student to school, please enter from School Street and exit onto Flossmoor Road. Please drive carefully, as some students are walking or riding their bikes to school.
Wednesday: There is no school in honor of the Juneteenth holiday. Please consider lining Flossmoor Road between Brassie Avenue and Village Hall at 9 a.m. to cheer on the Village of Flossmoor, and You Matter 2's 3rd annual Juneteenth Parade participants!
Thursday: Sports Day! Wear your favorite team shirt, sports jersey, or team colors!
It's going to be a great week, SD 161!
