Conference Thank You

Thank you for attending parent-teacher conferences this week. Your commitment and involvement towards your child’s success in school is evident. We appreciate your continued partnership. 

Safety Week

District 27 will participate in School Safety Week from Oct. 21-25! The goal is to foster age-appropriate awareness, education, and connection around essential safety topics. At Hickory Point, lessons will focus on words matter, never, ever rule, and fire safety. The Northbrook Fire Department will be providing a lesson on fire safety.  We have many fun activities planned for the week that will engage students in the importance of everyone having a “hand” in safety! 

Halloween

Dear Parents,

Halloween is always a fun day at Hickory Point. Students should wear their costumes to school on October 31 when they arrive in the morning. Please make sure that the costumes are simple. Students should be able to put on and remove their costumes for bathroom needs during the day. Also, please help your child make safe choices about their costume: no rollerblades, weapons, scooters, inappropriate dress, or theme/group costumes. Please choose a costume that is sensitive to our students' needs.

We will have a costume walk live-streamed at 8:45 am at Hickory Point. The costume walk will be available on YouTube. We will send out more details when the date gets closer. 

Our room parents will host a Halloween party at 2 pm for all of our students. Additionally, the PTA has purchased two crafts for each child. We prohibit children from bringing candy, treats, or goodie bags. Thank you for helping us with a successful Halloween celebration!
