From the Illinois State Board of Education:

Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who must provide transportation to and from school because free transportation is not available for their children may be eligible to receive money from the state to help offset some of the cost, for example, bus fares or mileage reimbursement for private automobiles at $0.505 per mile...

Click here to read this entire NOTICE TO PARENTS/GUARDIAN.

Please note (as explained in the NOTICE) if you apply for transportation reimbursement and live WITHIN 1 1/2 miles from the school, you need to file a Serious Safety Hazard form with the state. Please download and print this Application for Determination of a Serious Safety Hazard (which includes Forms and Instructions).

We have been very busy here at school. Here are some of the recent happenings:
• Our first fire drill was successful. Students exited quickly and quietly.
• Staff used early release time to learn about updates in the grading program that is used, Power Teacher. All staff also received mandatory yearly training on blood borne pathogens.
• A committee is planning Walk to School Day for October 8. More information will be coming.
• PBIS is working well! Students are following the expectations and enjoying receiving "Rutledge Rewards". Our first celebration is scheduled for next week. We hope all students have earned enough tickets!
• Constitution Day was celebrated with an all-school video. Students hopefully have a better understanding of how our Constitution was written and what it means.
• 3rd graders went to the Botanic Gardens.

Curriculum Night was a huge success!! Thank you to all our families for making it out in the rain and coming to this very important event. If you have any questions or concerns that were raised as a result of the evening, please don't hesitate to contact the classroom teacher or Dr. Weiss.

Bus Evacuation Drills were held this week. All students participated and learned how to safely exit the bus in the event of an emergency. Our Lincolnwood Police Department and Positive Connections Bus Company assisted us.

Don't forget to return the following items to school with your student:
• Handbook signature sheet
• PBIS signature sheet
• Safe Routes to School Survey

As the weather changes, please make sure that your children are dressed appropriately. Especially important are shoes that are closed and provide adequate support. We want all of our students to be safe while here at school.

Welcome to the 2008-2009 School Year!

We have had a wonderful start to the year this week. Here are some highlights:
• Flag raising ceremony - a big thanks to the Lincolnwood Police Department Honor Guard for their presentation.
• Cool Tools - we have taught school-wide expectations for behavior. We expect students to be respectful, responsible, and safe throughout our building.
• Kick-off celebration - our first school-wide assembly focused on our expectations. We had a great jaguar mascot who helped kick-off the celebration.
