Dear MMS Families,
The calendar year 2016 is off to a strong start! Thus far, Mother Nature has been cooperative and there have been no disruptions to our school calendar and events.
Here is hoping that the weather continues to be non-extreme and that the cold gray
days of winter yield to an early spring…unless of course, you love skiing or snow!
The continuity of our school weeks has resulted in positive outcomes across the
school. Students, staff, and families are working hard to ensure a successful second
half of the school year. I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation for
the high level of student engagement, for the rigor of staff instruction, and the support
of staff and family support.
Later this month, we will be hosting traditional parent-teacher conferences. Teams
have contacted parents to schedule conferences based on a variety of criteria. If you
did not receive a conference invite, but would like to arrange a conference, you may
feel free to call your teachers to set up a meeting on an alternative date.
As we move toward spring, we begin the scheduling of state testing. In April, we will
be taking the PARCC test once again. There have been some changes on the test from
last year. This year, the tests will be administered throughout one set of dates or window as opposed to two. The testing window will begin the week of April 11. More information will come home from us as to the exact dates that your child’s grade-level
will be testing.
This may sound repetitive, but maximizing communication between home and school
is imperative to your child’s educational success, and something that we will continue
to find ways to improve upon. Please visit our website, www.d118.org/matthews to
stay up to date with what is going on at MMS! As always, feel free to call me at
847.526.6210 or email me at [email protected] at any time.
Sincerely,
Robert Taterka

Emergency Early Dismissal Procedures
Due to Severe Winter Weather
Dear Parents:
In the event of severe winter weather occurring during the school day, it may be necessary to dismiss the
students housed at Wauconda Middle School, Matthews Middle School and Wauconda High School
earlier than usual.
The reason this action would be taken is to allow the buses an opportunity to drop off these older students
in order to return in time to take the younger elementary students at Wauconda Grade School, Robert
Crown School and Cotton Creek School home according to their regular dismissal schedule.
If this early dismissal was not done, we would run the risk of buses being unable to return the Wauconda
Grade School, Robert Crown and Cotton Creek students to their homes, or very late drop off for these
same students. In addition, we hope to avoid buses driving in a snowstorm when it is dark.
Parents of students in grades six through twelve need to be aware of the possibility that this situation
could occur due to inclement winter weather. If it does, we would enact the SchoolMessenger Service in
an attempt to notify you that your sixth through twelfth grade student was coming home early. As a
result, we ask that you make appropriate arrangements with your sixth through twelfth grade student in
order for them to gain access to shelter after being dismissed early due to weather conditions. This type
of situation does not occur often, but if it does we wanted you to be informed of our actions so that you
and your students can be prepared.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Dr. Daniel J. Coles

Procedimientos de Emergencia de Despido Temprano
Debido a Severo Clima de Invierno
Estimados Padres:
En la eventualidad de un clima severo de invierno durante el día escolar, puede ser necesario despedir a
los estudiantes alojados en la escuelas Wauconda Middle School, Matthews Middle School y Wauconda
High School más temprano de lo usual.
La razón para que esta acción sea tomada es el permitir a los autobuses la oportunidad de llevar a estos
estudiantes mayores a tiempo para volver y llevar a la casa a los estudiantes elementales más jóvenes en
las escuelas Wauconda Grade School, Cotton Creek y Robert Crown según su horario de despido regular.
Si este despido temprano no se hace, estaríamos tomándonos el riesgo de que los autobuses no puedan
llevar a sus casas a los estudiantes de Wauconda Grade School, Cotton Creek y Robert Crown, o que
estos estudiantes lleguen sumamente tarde. En adición, queremos evitar que hayan autobuses corriendo
en una tormenta de nieve cuando ya ha oscurecido.
Los padres de los estudiantes de sexto grado al grado 12 tienen que estar al tanto de la posibilidad de que
esta situación pueda ocurrir debido a las condiciones del clima de invierno. Si ocurre, nosotros no
podremos notificarles personalmente que su estudiante de sexto grado al grado 12 va a llegar temprano a
la casa. Como resultado, les solicito que hagan los arreglos apropiados con su estudiante de sexto grado
al grado 12 de manera que estos tengan acceso a un lugar donde estar después que hayan sido despedidos
temprano debido a las condiciones del clima. Este tipo de situación no ocurre muy seguido, pero si
ocurre, nosotros queremos que ustedes estén informados de nuestras acciones de modo que ustedes y sus
estudiantes estén preparados.
Gracias por su cooperación.
