Good morning District 50 Families,
Just a gentle reminder to stay cozy this morning and let our students sleep in because there is no school for District 50 students today due to the Casimir Pulaski holiday. Please take care of the following two items before our in-person instruction resumes tomorrow.
1. Pack your child’s Chromebook AND charger with all of their supplies back into their tub for a return. Make sure it is charged and ready to go.
2. Select your 4th quarter instruction preference:

Attention all District 50 families,
The 3rd quarter comes to a close on March 12th which means we are in need of 4th quarter method of instruction selections to start preparing for any changes to the school environment that need to be made. The system is still the same, so please log into your Skyward or visit the Google Form below to enter the method of instruction selection for your child(ren). We ask that you submit your selection as soon as possible and no later than March 8th.

Beverly Manor Students & Families,
While we wish we were in-person, know that we are excited and anxiously awaiting our March 2nd return. In the meantime, make sure you stay up to date with your teachers about classwork due dates and monitor your progress on Skyward to keep yourself in a school rhythm until we return. Our 3rd quarter incentive is quickly approaching on March 11th and you don't want missing assignments or low grades to keep you from missing out on this event.

Good afternoon District 50 Families,
We hope day one of our current remote period has gone well or that you have been able to connect with your child's teacher or school office with needed essentials. Our building offices are here to assist in whatever way possible. As we move forward, each building (JL Hensey and Beverly Manor) will have the front offices staffed from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm on student attendance days.

Great start Wildcat families! We are at 8% completion at Manor and 9% at Hensey for the 5Essentials Survey! We need at least 20% at each building to get a report. The survey takes less than 10 minutes. If you have a child in each building, you are able to complete the survey for each building.
