Dear Peterson Families,
Don’t forget this Friday is our first Spirit Day of the year and I look forward to seeing all of our students in purple and gold!
Thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding during the bad weather last week! Please note, no child will be counted as tardy when we have weather that causes our arrival process to slow down.
We look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night this Wednesday, September 12th! The classroom presentations will consist of 2 sessions with both sessions containing the same information. We repeat the sessions for those of you who have more than one child in our school. Session A will be from 6:30 – 7:00 and Session B will be from 7:15 – 7:45. This evening is for parents only. It is a time for parents to learn about their child(ren)’s classroom teacher’s philosophy, expectations, and teaching techniques for the year. The teacher will also give a general overview of the curriculum as well as the learning goals for the grade level. You will receive specific information from your child’s teacher on the location of your presentation.
There are some all school frameworks that I would like to highlight for you! The first one is our intervention block, called Guided Literacy Instruction (GLI). GLI will be used for all areas of literacy: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. There will be flexible groupings across classrooms within a grade level based on student need. These needs will be determined by assessments, teacher observations, and/or student choice.
The second framework is Class Meetings. Class Meetings support our students’ Social Emotional Learning. All classroom teachers will have a Class Meeting at least once a week. The purpose of these meetings is to:
- Set a tone for respectful and engaged learning in a climate of trust
- Build and enhance connections among students and between students and teachers
- Merge academic, social, and emotional learning
- Motivate students by addressing the human need to feel a sense of significance and belonging, and to have fun
Finally, with the introduction of 1:1 Chromebooks in Grades 2-5, all students will have increased and easier access to technology use. Any technology, including computers and Chromebooks, is used when it is needed. Technology supports and enhances the learning in the classroom. Students will still complete paper/pencil activities, read books, and collaborate face to face with one another! If you have any questions about any of these frameworks, please contact me!

- If your child will be a consistent Car Rider, please make sure you have filled out the Car Rider form. It is attached to this email.
- Please do not park on Honey Locust Drive during arrival and dismissal.
- If you’re walking or riding your bike, make sure to stay on the sidewalk. Please do not ride through neighbor’s yards.

August 20, 2018
Dear Peterson Families,
It was wonderful to see so many of you at Meet and Greet on Thursday! We so excited for our year to begin! Thank you to those of you who have turned in your Arrival/Dismissal form. If you haven’t done so, please make sure we have it on Tuesday. The form is attached below. This newsletter contains some of the information from last week, but there are also new items that have been included.
A note about parking on Tuesday and Wednesday. As in the past, for the first two days of school, all students will be lining up out on the blacktop. This is a wonderful way to begin the year! I would ask you to avoid parking on Winterberry (street right behind the school) and Chinaberry (street in front and to the west of the school) as parking on these streets will interfere with car drop off and busses.
We have students walking and biking to school this year. Please see below for important safety tips for motorists from the Naperville Police Department.
Important First Day Information:
The First Day of School for students in Grades 1 – 5 is Tuesday August 21st. Our Kindergarten students will come for a Kindergarten Visitation – see information below. Kindergarten Students will start on for their first full day of kindergarten on Wednesday, August 22nd.
Kindergarten Students will not ride the bus to school on Tuesday, August 21st. Instead, we invite you to bring your child to kindergarten on the first day for a thirty-minute orientation. This visit will familiarize your child with his/her new classroom, let him/her meet the teacher, and will prepare all of our students on their first day of school on August 22nd. Please plan your visit according to your last name and the schedule listed below:
o 9:30 – 10:00 A – D
o 10:00 – 10:30 E – H
o 10:30 – 11:00 I – L
o 11:00 – 11:30 M – Q
o 11:30 – 12:00 R – Z
Parent-Student Handbook:
Here Peterson’s Parent/Student Handbook. Within the handbook is a link to District 204’s handbook. Please take the time to read both. They contain information regarding policies and procedures of both Peterson and our District.
First “Dinner” Night of the Year:
Let’s start off the year with a sweet treat! Yogurt Beach is hosting our first fundraiser for the year on Monday, August 20th all day. Grab all of your family and friends and stop by Yogurt Beach. Just mention Peterson Elementary at the checkout. Come out and support Peterson, as 30% of the proceeds will go back to our school.

Safety Tips for Motorists:
The Naperville Police Department has provided safety tips for motorists as children will once again be walking to school through neighborhoods, waiting at bus stops and being dropped off at schools by parents. The beginning of the school year is an especially important time to check your driving behavior and ensure you are practicing the safest driving habits. Motorists can assist with keeping children safe when headed back-to-school by following these tips:
- Plan ahead and leave home earlier than normal to allow enough time to reach your destination without rushing.
- Always come to a complete stop at stop signs, and be sure to check carefully for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks before proceeding. Be sure to obey crossing guards and student safety patrols.
- Slow Down! Remember, school speed zones are reduced for a reason. When entering a school zone, slow down to 20 mph and be extra alert for children on foot and on bicycles.
- Being cautious when approaching school buses. It is illegal to proceed around a school bus with the stop sign arm engaged. Please be patient as children enter and exit school buses.
- Eliminate distractions. Leave time in the morning to eat and groom before entering your vehicle and stay off the phone while driving. As a reminder, Illinois bans the use of all hand-held devices while driving in Illinois as well as texting while driving.
- Follow each school’s traffic and parking plans and signage. If you have questions or want more information on your school’s traffic and parking plan, please contact your school.
- Lock your car doors and remove valuables before exiting your vehicle at schools and daycares. Even if you’ll only be gone for a brief time, leaving valuables in plain sight or leaving your doors unlocked is an invitation for thieves.
- Talk to your teen. According to AAA, nearly one in four fatal crashes involving teen drivers occur during the after-school hours of 3 to 7 p.m. Remind them to slow down, reduce distractions and be aware of their surroundings.

The PTA will be on hand for questions and sell Peterson spirit wear.
Transportation Information:

This year, we will have students walking to school. In light of this addition, I am asking all families to fill out an Arrival/Dismissal form.
