Terrace Families,

For those students whose families have chosen to return to school for in-person learning, the first wave of students will return on Wednesday, September 30. That date is set aside for kindergarten, first grade, and Structured Teaching (STEP) students only. Grade 2-3 students will return on October 14, and grades 4-5 students will return on October 21.

Due to all of the various safety protocols in place to receive our returning students in a safe manner, the beginning of the school day may start a little later than usual for our remote learners still at home. Transitions such as the lunch/recess hour may also run a little behind due to hand washing and washroom breaks.

We ask for your patience and understanding as it may take a few days to establish a routine that will go more smoothly with each and every passing day. We will do our best to communicate with you when we may run a little behind schedule or if we need to adjust our schedules due to transitions such as arrival, lunch/recess, and dismissal. We will try our very best to avoid any disruption to the remote learning experience and schedule for our at-home learners.

I have sent a letter to our returning kindergarten, first grade, and STEP families earlier today outlining our arrival and dismissal procedures. Next week those families will receive a communication regarding the student self-certification process. If you did not receive it, please email me so I can email it you ASAP.

Please note that if you chose for your student to remain in remote learning, you must stick with that choice until the end of the first trimester. At that time you will have an opportunity to opt into in-personal learning if you choose to do so. If you are a kindergarten, first grade, or STEP family member and are unsure of your enrollment choice, please call Mrs. Bojarski on the office at 847-824-1501. She will be able to verify your enrollment.

Once again, I appreciate your patience as we continue to navigate this unprecedented time together. Our goal is to keep our students and staff as safe as possible while they are in the building, and we will work together to meet any and all challenges that may arise.

Census:
​Families, time is running out to complete your census. Data from the census will impact the federal funds that our community receives for the next decade for critical school programs and services, including special education, Head Start, after-school programs, classroom technology, and free and reduced-price school lunches. An undercount could put these programs at risk – especially now, we can’t afford to lose out on a single dollar. Please help our district get the funding it needs to continue providing special education, after-school programs, free and reduced-price lunches, and other important services to students and families. Fill out the 2020 Census today at 2020census.gov or by calling 844-330-2020 (English) or 844-468-2020 (Spanish).

To all my fellow Sox fans out there, Go Sox! Playoffs, here we come!!!

We are currently in the beginning stages of planning family-teacher conferences. The dates for conferences are October 08-09. All conferences will be done remotely via Zoom. I will be working with teachers on exact times for those dates, and then as we have done the past several years, we will send out an online conference sign-up. Hopefully this will be sent out at the end of next week or the beginning of the week of September 21. Please look for another communication to come from me soon about this.

Terrace Families,

We are really starting to get into a nice flow with remote learning. It's been fun for me to hop onto some of the Zoom sessions and see our students. I still have some classrooms I still have yet to visit, but I will get to those as soon as I can.

We had a very successful materials swap this week. If you have not yet stopped by for your classroom materials, please call the office next week and make an appointment at your convenience to do so.

Please remember that next Friday, September 04, we will be having a half day institute day. There will be no kindergarten sessions on Friday, and the remainder of our grades 1 - 5 students will only have remote learning in the morning. On Monday, September 07, there is no school for anyone due to Labor Day.

Have a wonderful weekend, and stay healthy and safe.

Our new gym floor is finally complete!

Terrace Families,

Welcome back! It has been a unique first week of school, and it was truly wonderful to "see" all of our students participating remotely this week. We are learning how to do this together, and I am so proud of our staff for working hard to provide your children with a more robust remote learning experience. I popped into many Zooms this week, and I can't wait to see even more classes next week. It was so refreshing to see all of their happy faces.

Here are some important reminders:

Next week we will have another round of materials distribution. Your remote learning teachers will send you reminders next week, but please see the information below for your planning:

• Schedule
  • August 27 - Grades K-2 (timeframes are 9:30 - 11:30 & 1:30 - 3:30)
  • August 28 - Grades 3- 5 (timeframes are 9:30 - 11:30 & 1:30 - 3:30)
• Procedures
  • Families will pull up in the front circle in their cars. Please do not walk-up to the building.
  • Cars should have signs with student names and teacher names clearly visible for staff to see easily.
  • Staff will bring new materials to car and collect prior materials along with the bags you initially received.
  • For families with multiple students, you can pick up materials on one day. That day will be the day you pick up for the youngest sibling.

Fall assessments will also begin next week. Grades 3 - 5 will take their fall MAP assessments on Wednesday and Thursday, August 26 - 27. Your remote learning teachers will communicate more details to you next week prior to testing.

For families of kindergarten and first grade students, your teachers will reach out to you to try and schedule short, in-person assessments of your child's reading and math skills, if you are able yo do so. ​You will hear from your teachers next week to begin scheduling, and you will receive more information about the safety protocols and procedures that go along with the in-person academic assessments.

​Thank you all again for your patience and understanding this week as we all continue to learn and grow together. If there is any support you need, please contact your child's teacher or our main office so we can assist you in any way we can.

​Have a great weekend!

Thank you to our wonderful parent community for welcoming staff back to the building in such a beautiful way. It brightened everyone's spirits.

Terrace Families,

This week on Wednesday our staff returned back to school. It has been nice to be together, working hard and planning to provide your children an improved remote learning experience. This afternoon you should receive a communication from your child's remote learning teacher including details about the daily schedule that will begin next week. 

Please remember, school for grades 1 - 5 begins on Monday, August 17, and school for kindergarteners begins on Wednesday, August 19. The school day begins at 9:00. For afternoon kindergarten, the day begins at 1:00. Last week you all should have received remote learning supply lists. If you have any questions about those, please contact your child's remote learning teacher. Kindergarten parents, Mrs. Nielsen will contact you to schedule a device and materials pickup for next  Monday and Tuesday.

Next week you will receive more information from the teachers about the distribution and parent pickup of student materials that they can use at home for remote learning. In addition, you will also receive notice of a parent information Zoom session with your child's remote learning teacher(s). Please stay tuned for those communications coming to you from the teachers sometime next week.

I wanted to welcome Bailey Stearns, who will be teaching grade 2 this year, and San Hurwitz, who will be teaching grade 5. We are excited to welcome them to our staff! Also, I wanted to share my appreciation for Susie Turner, who has retired effective this school year. She dedicated many years to D62 and Terrace to preparing her students for life in the middle school, and she will be missed by our staff. We wish her all the best in the years to come.

If your family needs any support acquiring school supplies for remote learning or if you are in need of a wifi hotspot, please contact our office, and we will do our best to assist you.

A special thank you to our wonderful PTC, who welcomed staff back on Wednesday with morning treats and individually-bagged lunches from Panera. We appreciate our partnership with you, and we were touched by your generosity.

Stay safe, and stay healthy.

Terrace Families,

This week our office reopened, and it is certainly nice to be back in the building. The building is very clean, and there are some new health measures that are visible when walking in the hallways and classrooms. There are hand sanitizing stations in every classroom and all throughout the hallways. There is plexiglass around the main office desk to protect Mrs. Bojarski and any visitor who walks into that space. We have contactless thermometers and self-certifications sheets. Every staff member present is wearing a mask. I look forward to the day when staff and students will be reunited in-person at our school.

I know there is still a lot of uncertainty. I have heard from several of you with your questions and your perspectives. I wanted to thank you all so much your your patience and understanding these past several months. I also wanted to extend my gratitude to those of you who have personally reached out to me to tell me that I was in your thoughts and prayers. This has not been an easy time for any of us, so I appreciate all of you so much for your caring and support.

Early on during the week of August 10, you will receive a welcome back to school letter from me through Blackboard. In that letter you will receive links to updated supply lists (if we do go remote) as well as some other information regarding the start of school. Also during that week, the parent portal will be opened up so you may be able to view your child's teacher assignment for the upcoming school year. I wanted to tell you this now because I have received several inquiries about supply lists. I would hold off on buying supplies until you receive my letter. If we are fully remote to begin the school year, you will have an updated list to work from.

Next week will be a planning week where I will be working with teachers and administrators on the start of school. If we are fully remote, we will work on those supply lists as well as beginning to create daily schedules for your children. When you hear from me the week of Aug. 10, you will find out more specifics about what that will look like at Terrace. So I ask once more for your patience. Our goal is to have this information in your hands early the week of the 10th.

Some of you received wifi hotspots from us in the spring due to connectivity issues you may have been having at home. If any of you didn't receive one then but need a hotspot now, or if you need a new or additional hotspot because yours broke or you have multiple children in the house, please call the office and let us know. I will get those for you.

Again, I wanted to express my appreciation for all of you. You kindness and patience has meant the world to me and to my staff. We miss our students so much, and personally, I cannot wait to interact with them in a couple weeks.

Stay safe, and stay healthy.

I am back at school working hard to prepare for the upcoming school year. I cannot wait to engage with all of our students and staff in a couple weeks.

Terrace Families, 

Today marks a bittersweet conclusion to a school year that few of us could have imagined. Rather than writing you a message paying homage to all the things that we lost and didn't get to do this year, I prefer to focus my message on the things we gained and learned from these past ten weeks.

For the first time in my career, I had to learn how to do my job without teachers and students physically present. It was not easy. There was a learning curve for all of us. However, as a staff, we learned and persevered together, all in the name of keeping your children connected to Terrace in a meaningful way. None of us were trained for how to teach and connect with our students remotely during a pandemic, but we figured out a way as a district and as a school, together.

I am so proud of and grateful for our entire staff, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure your child or children had a constant and familiar connection to their teacher, to their friends, and to their school. The health and well-being of our students and families have been our number one priority, and that was the cornerstone of everything that we set out to accomplish these last couple of months with remote learning. I haven't yet met a more dedicated and caring group of people as the staff at Terrace. Every single individual who works in the building has contributed something important not just these past couple of months, but this past school year as a whole.

Our students learned a lot as well. They have learned how to learn remotely. I have heard from many of them over the course of remote learning, and what I can tell you with certainty is that our students also learned how much they love and appreciate Terrace. They miss their teachers and the staff members that see them and greet them and care for them every day. They miss their classmates and the important socialization that comes with being at school. They even miss their principal! =-)

I think one thing we have all learned is how much we appreciate one another. We as a staff appreciate the challenges families have in trying to work remotely at home while at the same time working with their own children at home with their own remote learning. I have heard from many parents who now have a better understanding and appreciation of how difficult our jobs as educators are. We know some of you reading this are working on the front lines, and we are truly thankful for all that you are doing to keep people healthy while at the same time sacrificing your own health and the precious time you have with your own families. As a staff, we have also been reminded about how much we appreciate our students and one another. Our students definitely appreciate how much they realize they need Terrace in their lives.

I am hopeful that when we come out on the other side of this that we will all have a little more patience and understanding with one another. We have all been affected in some way during this pandemic. If we can make it through this, we can make it through just about anything. I have decided that I will focus my attention to all that I have learned to appreciate both at school and at home. Every day there are moments to feel grateful for. I will choose to focus on those moments. So when I think back on this time in our lives, rather than being upset about what could have been, I will be reminded of how much I love our students, how much I care about my staff, and how much I appreciate all of you.

I wanted to leave you with one more thing. We know that for our fifth graders who are moving on to middle school next year that this was not the fifth grade year they imagined. We worked hard these past few weeks trying to figure out a way we could honor them. This week our student council arranged to have students send their best wishes to our fifth graders who will be moving on next year. In addition to that, our staff put together a video tribute to our fifth graders.

Please spend some time watching this video tribute to our fifth graders from our staff. Thank you to Mrs. Raczkowski and Mrs. Lopatka of the Terrace News for putting this all together.

Thank you to Mrs. Djurdjevic and Mrs. Sharko of Student Council for putting together a video from our students to our fifth graders. You can click here to watch that video, as well.

Stay safe and healthy, and take care of one another.
​
Staff News: We have a few staffing changes for next year that I wanted to share with you:

• Mrs. Butera (second grade) has accepted a new position in D62 starting next school year. She will be a behavior specialist with our Student Services Department. We have hired Ms. Bailey Stearns, a recent graduate from University of Wisconsin - Madison, to teach second grade next year.
• Mrs. Staffel (STEP) will be leaving D62 to teach special education students at the high school level next year. Ms. Sophia Sidlowski will be joining us to teach intermediate STEP next year. She comes to us from Algonquin Middle School, where she has taught STEP as well as SPED Resource for the past couple of years.
• Mrs. Curtis will be working full time at Forest next year teaching Literacy. Mrs. Hansen will teaching Literacy at Terrace next year.

I hope you will please join me in wishing all of our departing staff well. They have been an important part of out Terrace family, and they have impacted the lives of many students over the years. Please also join me in welcoming our new staff. I know they will feel right at home in our welcoming community next year.

Thank you to a special fourth grader who gave me this mask yesterday. It perfectly embodies our school spirit!

Terrace Families, 

Earlier this week you should have received a communication from me regarding student materials pick-up next week. To review, here are the highlights:

On your assigned day, you will drive through the front circle as is always the case for typical drop-off and pick-up. We ask that you please remain in your car when you pull up to the school. You will tell us whose items you are picking up, and we will load your child(ren)’s belongings into the trunk of your car.

If your child is not returning to Terrace or the district next year, please drop off all technology (laptop, iPad, Logitech Crayon, and all charging cables and power adaptors. Otherwise, your child may keep his/her device over the summer.

The schedule for Terrace Elementary School is as follows:

• Tuesday, May 26 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Grades Pre-K through 1
• Wednesday, May 27 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Grades 2 and 3
• Thursday, May 28 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Grades 4 and 5
• Friday, May 29 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Any family who could not make it on one of the first three days

*If you have multiple children at Terrace, please attend on the date assigned to your YOUNGEST CHILD. We will give you the belongings of all of your children on that date so you only have to attend one time.

Several families have asked if they can leave end-of-year gifts for teachers. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Teachers will not be back in the buildings until August, and, we want to minimize any contact of that nature with our volunteers who will be helping next week. You may feel free to email a note or your thank yous to the teachers directly.

Terrace Tuesday Countdown this week asked students to wear their favorite costume. Please enjoy this video highlighting some of our students and staff in their costumes.

I hope you all enjoy a nice holiday weekend. Remember, there is no remote learning for students next Monday, May 25, and next week is the last week of school.

Stay safe and healthy, and take care of one another.

Of course I wore a Star Wars helmet for Costume Tuesday!
