Ms. Troncozo Auld’s class spent part of the day learning vocabulary in a fun and interactive way! Students reviewed words through games like Bingo and kept the energy up with a fun, educational dance. To wrap up the lesson, students worked together to bring their vocabulary to life, adding clothing, facial features, and other creative details to life-size tracings of themselves. What a fun way to bring this lesson to life!

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is currently experiencing an outage, which may be affecting the functionality of the app, BusWhere.
We recommend that students arrive at the bus stop at least 5–10 minutes before their scheduled time and not rely solely on the app for updates, as noted in the student handbook and Transportation's webpage.

Our Elementary Wildcats had a special visit from the Gurnee Fire Department today to learn all about fire safety! 🔥🚒

Some of our students impressed the firefighters (and their classmates) by showing off their fire safety knowledge with a Stop, Drop, and Roll demonstration.

The visit wrapped up with a look at the gear firefighters use to stay safe while protecting our community.

A big thank-you to the Gurnee Fire Department for stopping by and helping our Wildcats stay safe and prepared!
