Principal's Letter- June 21, 2019

6/21/2019

Dear Budlong Families,
 
Congratulations on another strong year! From our eighth grade commencement ceremony to Budlong Meets Broadway to visiting the state’s capital, let us celebrate the accomplishments of our students. 2018-19 gave us memories that will make us smile for years to come.
 
Thank you to all of our parent groups and parent volunteers. Your help and input is greatly appreciated. We cannot do all we do for our students without you! Our LSC, BAC, PAC, and Friends of Budlong continue to be very supportive of our staff and students. Friends of Budlong will meet over the summer to start planning for the 2019-20 school year and a Back-2-School Picnic, so be sure to keep an eye out for e-announcements. I encourage you to attend and meet current and prospective families.
 
Below are the dates for 2019-20 registration for all kinder through eighth grade students.  During registration, you will be notified of your child’s homeroom and teacher.  Registration is also the time to pay school fees, submit all required forms, including emergency contact and lunch forms, medical documents, and other school-related information.  Links to all forms, required by grade level, are available here.

Enrollment for pre-kindergarten is underway. Our pre-kinder team is contacting families who have been accepted through the application process. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

School supplies can be purchased through Yubbler, and delivered directly to you. 50% of the profits go back to the school.  For the month of July there will be a 5% discount on all purchases.

We are happy to announce that our Aftercare Program will be extended to include PK to fifth grade students, and until 6:15 p.m. Aftercare enrollment will take place on August 19th and 20th.

Registration is also the time to go through the volunteer process. If you are interested in volunteering at Budlong and have filled out the online application, you will be able to do the fingerprinting and TB testing here at Budlong on August 19th. Please send an email to yicustodio@cps.edu to be added to the list for an appointment.
 
All current Budlong students need to register each August. Have a safe and healthy summer. Laugh a lot, and spend time with your friends and family; be #budlongbeautiful. I look forward to seeing everyone in the fall!
