In addition to donating items and participating in the Month of Giving and Gratitude, students are encouraged to make their own version of Stone Soup at home using the recipe provided. Students may post pictures or a video of their Stone Soup creation on Flipgrid using the following link

The Arbor View PTC is excited to introduce fundraising with SCRIP. Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that allows Arbor View families to raise money for our school. Scrip is just another way to pay for your everyday purchases using gift cards instead of cash, checks, or credit cards.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You purchase gift cards from www.ShopwithScrip.com (or download the Raise Right app and make purchases through the app.) The gift cards are purchased by you at face value. Once you purchase a gift card, using the code below, Arbor View School gets an amount equal to a percentage of your gift card, and you retain the full value of the gift card you just purchased! It’s really that simple!

EXAMPLES: Do you anticipate spending $100 at the Gap? If you buy a $100 gift card through Scrip, Arbor View PTC gets 14% of that amount, or $14, and you get a $100 Gap gift card! Or do you plan on buying a $50 Chipotle gift card as a birthday present for your nephew? Do it through Scrip: AVPTC gets 10%, or $5, and you get a $50 gift card so your nephew can eat burritos! Percentages vary by store/restaurant/retailer.

WHAT STORES ARE AVAILABLE?

Gift cards are available from more than 750 of the country’s biggest retailers, including grocery and department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement and more. Just by using gift cards to pay for your normal weekly purchases you can easily raise $500 or more per year. It’s time to start shopping with a purpose, and put your dollars to work for the kids and programs at Arbor View School.

HOW DO I ORDER GIFT CARDS?

To order, go to www.ShopwithScrip.com or download the Raise Right app. The unique purchase code for Arbor View is: A2978F8F6478L

Please click on document below for agenda.

If you've accumulated stuff that you don't know what to do with, why not donate it to the Arbor View FUNdraiser?! We will earn money for the school for each pound donated. We will have a truck in the school parking lot from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Saturday, 9/25 and again on Sunday, 9/26 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. We will also be doing a neighborhood drive through on Saturday 9/25.  Please click the following link for all of the details!

Action required by May 25 for students planning to learn remotely next year - 2021-2022.

Community Consolidated School District 89 families can plan for a return to a traditional schedule with five full days of in-person learning during the 2021-22 school year. Remote learning will only be available next school year to students who have certification from their physician that they require a medical exemption.

You can view a short video of CCSD 89 Superintendent Dr. Emily Tammaru discussing the plans for the 2021-22 school year here:

Remote learning in 2021-22 school year

Next year, remote learning will only be available to students who require a medical exemption because they or a household member are at increased risk of severe illness due to COVID-19.

Families must request the CCSD 89 medical exemption form from their school principal or nurse by Tuesday, May 25. The form requires a physician to certify the student’s medical need. The completed form must be returned to the district office (22W600 Butterfield Road, Glen Ellyn) by Friday, June 25.

Remote students will not be part of the same classes as in-person students. The district will be partnering with education organizations that specialize in online learning. The district will be holding a Zoom question-and-answer session with the families of students who need remote learning prior to the June 25 deadline.

Please find them in the About PTC section.

One key factor in the success of our school is the fantastic amount of parent and family involvement throughout the year. PTC has prepared and published a Community Involvement and Volunteer Opportunities Brochure. In this brochure, you will find a brief overview of many of the ways you can get involved, from small one-time tasks to long-term committee positions which aligns with the information on the Volunteer page of this website.  Most of the activities and positions listed require multiple volunteers to ensure success, and we never turn down a helping hand!
