The first day of school for kindergarten is Monday, August 26th.   On a typical school day, all students will line up outside on their classroom line and will be let into the building at 8:25 a.m.

Hello Anne Fox Community,

Our Back to School Night event was an incredible kickoff to the year ahead. Thank you to the many families who attended classroom presentations, greeted your child’s new teacher, and learned more about the wonderful school year ahead. The anticipation is building for our first day of school tomorrow! Here are a few reminders that will make the first day a success.

When students arrive on Monday, they will line up on the blacktop at 8:25 using the line with homeroom number. Teachers will be holding signs indicating their name, grade level, and classroom number. Parents are welcome to join us on the front sidewalk to clap our students into the building for our Tunnel of Hope! Students will be dismissed at 3:00.

Run to Read
District 54 is hosting its annual Run to Read, which will be held on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019 at Dirksen Elementary School in Schaumburg. The day includes school mascot races at 7:30 a.m., 100-yard and 400-yard dashes for children at 8 a.m., a 5K run at 9 a.m. and a 1-mile family walk at 9:15 a.m. Although you can register at any time, even the morning of the race, you will save $5 and be guaranteed a t-shirt in the size you requested if you register by Friday August 30. The Run to Read is an awesome opportunity to promote healthy living by encouraging your children to exercise, or even better, by joining them on the walk or run. The event also supports our goal of collecting 1,000 children’s books for every classroom in District 54. To register, visit sd54.org/runtoread.
