With the colder weather, more families are using the carline for morning drop-off. As a reminder, ALL drivers must adhere to the proper procedures. Drivers must pull ALL THE WAY FORWARD IN THE LINE and FOLLOW STAFF DIRECTIONS. Due to the volume of cars, students must be independent, including exiting the vehicle on their own. If your child cannot get out of your car and shut the door on their own, you should park on Grassmere Dr., just past the carline exit, and assist your child getting out curbside.

Please ensure you are entering the carline before 9:00 AM (9:10 on Wednesday) in order to allow 5 minutes for your child to exit the car and walk all the way to their classroom. Students need to be in class at 9:05, not walking into the building.

There was a district-level delay in posting of Quarter 1 Report Cards due to a software issue. Report Cards should be viewable in Parent Vue today, Monday 10/27, after 4pm.

Thank you to the Fry PTA for throwing a fabulous 25th birthday celebration for Freddy last week. The students had so much fun! A huge shout out to the team of volunteers who put in MANY hours to make this event happen for our kids!

Fry will hold our annual Halloween costume parade on Friday, Oct. 31st at 2:45, weather permitting.

Students may bring costumes with them to school in the morning. Students will put costumes on in the afternoon. Costumes should be elementary-age appropriate. No weapons or look-a-likes are allowed. Dressing up is optional – we will have an alternate activity for any students who would rather not be part of the parade.

Parents are invited to watch the parade along the front or south-side sidewalks of the school. The front circle will be blocked off. The students will parade from the gym, across the front of the school, down the sidewalk of the southside of the school and in the back doors. It’s a quick parade!

In the event of inclement weather, the outdoor parade will be canceled. If this is the case, parents will be notified via email by noon.

Please read the district communication below:

As we work together to ensure a safe environment for all of our students, staff, and families, we want to provide some important reminders regarding the use of electric scooters (e-scooters).

Recently, we have seen an increase in students using e-scooters when traveling to and from school. While these devices may seem convenient, they present safety concerns for both riders and pedestrians, especially during busy arrival and dismissal times. For that reason, e-bikes and e-scooters are not permitted on school property.

We also want to make families aware of local regulations:

• In Naperville, e-bikes and e-scooters are not allowed on sidewalks and must follow the same traffic laws as bicycles.
   

• Class 3 e-bikes require riders to be at least 16 years old, and state law prohibits operating low-speed e-scooters unless the rider is at least 18.
   

• Riders are required to use bike lanes or remain near the curb, and at night must have proper lights and reflectors.

We encourage parents to talk with their children about these rules and remind them to walk, ride traditional bicycles, or use other safe methods when traveling to and from school. If unsafe or illegal use is observed in the community, parents are encouraged to contact the Naperville Police Department.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students and school safe.

Please note our school procedures, copied below from the Fry Parent Handbook:

Prolonged Absence due to Family Vacations: When an absence occurs due to a vacation, students will not be given homework in advance. Alternative assignments such as keeping a journal and assigning some reading may be given when appropriate. Upon returning to school the child will be given make- up work to be completed in a reasonable amount of time.

Prolonged Absence due to Illness: When a student has been absent for three or more days due to illness, teachers will provide homework as appropriate given adequate time to prepare. A teacher might advise alternative assignments such as keeping a journal and assigning some reading when appropriate. Parents are asked to keep in mind that much of what happens in class (direct instruction, discussions, activities, informal assessing, group work, etc.) cannot be made up by sending paper/pencil work home.
