Dear Link Families,
I hope you are all enjoying this unpredictable weather. I think the temperature swings are confusing the students. One day they are wearing winter gear and the next day they are in sweatshirts. Please remind your children to dress for the weather. We have had some rather extreme temperature swings lately and we do go out for recess.
Here is the latest news from Link School…

- In the interest of keeping our students safe, District 54 would like to reinforce a few laws and policies concerning smoking, cell phone use and school buses.
o No Smoking at Schools – District 54 policy prohibits smoking or the use of tobacco products on district property and in district facilities, regardless of whether students are present or school is in session. Individuals or groups using or renting facilities are also banned from smoking or using tobacco products in District 54 facilities or on District 54 properties.
o School Bus Stop Arm Violations – It is unlawful for a driver to pass a school bus that has stopped to load or unload children when its stop signal arm is extended.

If you happen to be visiting school during one of these drills, we request that you follow all emergency procedures. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
