WELCOME BACK KENDALL FAMILIES!
WELCOME FOR THE FIRST TIME KENDALL KINDERGARTNERS AND NEW
STUDENTS!
Summer 2015
Dear Kendall Families:
Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! I know there remains a few weeks of summer vacation left, so do enjoy
every minute. As we prepare for a new school year we will continue our goals in improving student learning and
high achievement for all students.
Staff members have continued to work throughout summer on professional development in Common Core
Standard instruction for math and literacy. Work was completed both at building and district levels. I am proud
that Kendall staff represented lifelong learning and the desire to improve current instructional practice that will
improve student achievement even during summer break!
This year will include many familiar and some new routines and practices. The essentials will be outlined and
provided in this packet for ALL new families as well as those who are returning to Kendall. The Kendall Parent
Handbook will be available on line at http://kendall.ipsd.org for more detailed information regarding Kendall’s
policies and procedures. In addition, District 204’s Parent-Student Handbook is available on line at
http://www.ipsd.org.
Effective communication supports and provides students with the best possible support to be successful.
Continued opportunities will be offered electronically. For classroom and grade level communication, grade level
Google sites will replace Edline. Messages from our school office will be posted on our building website
http://kendall.ipsd.org and our listserv. You will also receive Connect Ed phone messages from me throughout
the school year. Effective communication is also supported with personal contact to our school office (630-428-
7100) if you have any questions or concerns. We are happy to hear from you. For your convenience, we have
provided a handout in this packet to ensure efficiency in the communication process.
Parents will be able to access classroom assignments on August 14th at 4:00 pm in eSchoolPlus. To learn your
child’s classroom, you will need the eSchoolPlus username and password that you used to update your child’s
registration. For new families, this information will be mailed to you. You can then access the information at

Summer 2015
Dear Kendall Families,
I hope you all have been enjoying your summer break despite Mother Nature giving us fall like temperatures in July! Even though we still have more than a month to enjoy before school starts, I just want to sneak a few dates on your calendar to get you ready for the new school year!
Thursday, August 13th, 5-7pm in Kendall Gym – School Supply Kit Pick Up
Please note that this is only for those that have preordered their school supply kits at the end of last year. We do not have any extras to sell that evening.
Monday, August 17th, 2:30pm on the blacktop – Ice Cream Social
Please join the PTA for an Ice Cream Social following the teacher Meet & Greet. TCBY has very generously donated choc/van swirl cups as well as orange sorbet cups (dairy and nut free). We ask for your assistance in limiting this event to current Kendall students and their younger siblings so that we can ensure that we have enough frozen yogurt for all our students. The ingredient list for both items are attached for your convenience. We will also be hosting our first restaurant night of the year on Sept 1st at TCBY so please help thank them for their generosity by stopping by there for a treat!
Tuesday, September 22nd, 9:15am in the MPR – Parent Welcome Back Coffee
Please join the PTA for our Parent Welcome back Coffee. This will be a great opportunity to meet other parents, our PTA Executive Board Members, plus the chance to learn about the Kendall PTA and all it offers.
As the board makes plans for the new school year, there is one item to note. World’s Finest Chocolates has acquired Market Day and has decided to retire the monthly grocery fundraising programs at all the schools. As a result, Kendall PTA will be losing $2,000 in income from this program. We have worked hard in the past few years to eliminate direct sale fundraisers (gift wrap, chocolate, cookie dough, etc) at Kendall and want you to know that we will not let the end of Market Day change that. We are hoping to make up the income difference in the fall fundraiser (this year we are bringing back the raffle baskets!) and monthly restaurant nights so that we can avoid having to add in a 2nd fundraiser. We appreciate the continued generosity of all our Kendall families and will continue to work hard to provide quality programs and services to our kids.
The Kendall PTA has many things in store for the students this year and we look forward to partnering with our school and our parents to make it all happen! Whether you have 1 hour or many to give; whether you can volunteer at school or help from home, please consider donating your time and talent to the Kendall PTA.
Thank you for your continued support!
