10/19 Home and School
Dear Young Families,
Our shortened week was packed full of learning.
Fall weather has arrived and the temperatures have been chilly. Please make sure
that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather with coat, hat, and gloves.
Students go outside everyday unless it is precipitating or the temperature is 5
Degrees or Below.
Please take a moment to review the information listed below.
Have a good weekend.
Ms. Morgan
Health Notes: Please make sure that any medical note or pe/recess excuse is
given to the school nurse, Mrs. Chani McOmber (chani_mcOmber@ipsd.org) as
well as your child’s classroom teacher.

Rhodes, Ninja Detective: The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit.
 The Fall Party will be held on Friday, October 25. Students may bring their

PDAC World Cafe
I am looking for a few parent representatives to attend the PDAC World Café on
Monday, October 28. Each year the Parent Diversity Advisory Council (PDAC)
hosts the World Cafe at Waubonsie Valley High School from 6:45 pm – 9:00 pm.
This year’s theme is: How Can We All Answer the Call to Action? The focus of the
World Café is to address how the extended school community can meet the
learning needs of all students. Every school building within District 204 will be
represented during this important round table conversation. Please email me if
you are interested in attending this event with me and several teacher
representatives from Young School. Please find attached the World Café
invitation for your review.
