School attendance is important for effective learning and undisrupted academic development. Most children, unless they have a specific medical problem, should only miss a few days of school a year. It is important to notify the school nurse if your child suffers from a medical problem, particularly if it will impede his/her school performance or attendance. Absences should be reported to the Main Office. Communicable diseases and hospitalizations should also be reported to the school nurse.

Most school-age illness is secondary to viral infection and not life threatening unless the child is immunologically compromised. If your child has a fever over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or is experiencing vomiting or diarrhea DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL for at least 24 hours. Severe pain, infections, and rashes also warrant medical consultation. Purulent drainage from the eyes or ears or large wounds is indicative of infection. Over-the-counter remedies may improve their discomfort but if symptoms persist or are severe, consult your physician. Children that miss more than five days of school may need a doctor’s note prior to reentering school. Recurring symptoms also warrant physician follow-up. If you have any questions feel free to contact the School Nurse at (847) 357-5358 or email ashleyhood@nullsd54.org

Finally, this is a friendly reminder regarding when to keep your child home from school:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Fever 100 degrees or higher
  • Students may return to school when they no longer have a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication (i.e. ibuprofen / acetaminophen).

Please refer to page 27 of the “School District 54 Parent-Student Handbook” for more information regarding Health Services.

The Campanelli PTA is excited to invite you to join us for our first Dads with Donuts Breakfast event.  Flyers went home this week with more info.  The event will be on Wednesday, November 20^th from 7:45-8:15 am in the Gym.  This is an event for Campi students and their Dad, Grandpa, Stepdad, Uncle, or other important person in their life.  There will be donuts, coffee, and juice available as well as a fun craft to do with your student(s).  We welcome and encourage pictures to be taken.  Whether your child is planning to attend Donuts with Dads or not, please email a photograph of your student(s) with dad, grandpa, their favorite uncle, or father-figure to Mrs. Buckner by Monday, November 18^th at marycatherinebuckner@nullsd54.org.  The pictures will be featured in a slideshow the day of the event!  And don’t worry Moms, we will have an event for you in March!

We are looking forward to an afternoon of fun and excitement on Thursday, October 31st.  Due to the impending weather forecast tomorrow, we will have our parade inside the classrooms for students only. This has worked out nicely in the past. We will have all students dress in their costumes in the afternoon.

If you have volunteered and signed up to be a parent helping us out with the class parties, you can check in the front at 1:30. As previously scheduled, our class parties will be from 1:45-2:40.

Thank you for understanding with regard to the weather. We will make tomorrow a wonderful Halloween despite our snow and rain.

School Picture Day was on September 27^th.  If you ordered pictures, your packets will be coming home soon.  If your child was absent on September 27^th, a re-take picture order envelope was sent home with them this week.  If you would like your child’s picture to be retaken, please return the entire purchased picture package with your child on November 1^st.

District 54 has emailed out a fee statement if you have not paid your $50 consumable fee for the 2019-20 school year.  You can pay online through your parent portal or you can send a check, to the office, in an envelope marked “Consumable Fee” with your student. If you pay before November 15th, you will avoid the $15 late fee. If your email address has changed since you registered in April, please contact the office to update your information.

Tuesday, October 29th – PTA Pizza Tuesday

Wednesday, October 30th – 5th & 6th Grade Variety Show, Campanelli Gym

Thursday, October 31st – Halloween Parade & Parties, 1:00-2:30pm

Friday, November 1st – Picture Re-Take Day 9:00-11:00 in Gym and PTA Hot Lunch (Chick-Fil-A)

We are excited for our annual Halloween parade! Our students are always creative and we thank you for your support during this fun time! Here are a couple of reminders:

• Costumes and make-up may not be worn to school by students in grades K-6. Students will have time to dress before the parade.
• No hair coloring, sprays, or supplies are to be brought to school.
• Keep make-up to a minimum (there is only a short time given to students to get into costumes, so save the best for trick-or-treating)
• No costumes depicting violence (no fake blood or gore, please)
• No weapons or “look-alikes” of any kind (knives, swords, guns/squirt guns, chains or any other type of weapon) may be brought to school.
• Be certain that your child can see through his/her mask

Students will have a typical lunch/recess and get prepared for the parade after lunch.  Students in grades K-6 will bring their costumes to school and will be allowed to change into their costume during their lunch hour or prior to the parade.  Our parade will begin at 1:00pm going clockwise around the school from door #2. Please follow these guidelines so that Halloween is an enjoyable and safe experience for all.

This past Saturday over 200 runners took part in the Annual Family Fun Run over at Hoover Math and Science Academy.  We collected sixteen boxes of food items for our two food banks here in Schaumburg School District 54. The weather could not have been better as  Campi and Hoover families ran, cheered each other on and pushed themselves physically on a one mile cross country course.  Our very own Campi student David Shu finished in first place overall with a time of 7:01 and his father finished just behind him in first place in the adult division.  Thank you to everyone that came out to support our school district’s mission and Campanelli School!
