Principal's Letter- October 27, 2018

Good Afternoon,

Here are updates as we head into the last week of October:

• Kudos to the Kinder Team for another fantastic Fall Fest!  
  
• After School Programs on Wednesday, 10/31, are cancelled because of Halloween...boo!
  
• Medical Compliance - Public schools in Illinois are mandated to record the most up to date immunizations and physicals for all students.  Please be sure to turn in documentation so that your student is in compliance.  Questions about requirements, timelines, or clarification can be addressed to our school nurse, Mary Jo Hennessy at mjhennessey@cps.edu.

We need your support for our upcoming fundraisers:

• November 13- Jog-a-thon 
• November 17- Restaurant of the Month- Carbon Arc Cartoon Brunch
• November 30- Mother & Son Dance
• January 17-  Restaurant of the Month- Sweet Pepper

• February 21-  Restaurant of the Month- Nick's Pizza

• March 3- Get Some Sleep Mattress Fundraiser
• May 31- Budlong Under the Stars

Thank you to all our parents who have completed, or are in the process of completing, the CPS Volunteer Process (all volunteers must complete level 1).  The first step is to complete an online application here: FACE2. Be sure to work with your child's teacher to create a schedule and list of tasks.

Mark your calendars for upcoming events:

• November 2- School Improvement Day- NO CLASSES
• November 7- Junior Achievement
• November 12- Veterans Day- NO SCHOOL
• November 13- PAC & BAC Meeting @ 8:30 a.m.

                                     LSC Meeting @ 5:00 p.m.

And finally, I am proud to announce that Budlong has earned the 1+ rating again for the third consecutive year.  This designation is the culmination of hard work by our staff, students, and families. Congratulations!  

Have a #budlongbeautiful weekend :)
