Golden Apple Nomination Deadline

The October 19th deadline for Golden Apple nominations is quickly approaching. Teachers love reading the wonderful comments others write about the work they do with students. Nominations can be as short as a few sentences or as long as desired--The Golden Apple Foundation wants to know about our teachers. Anyone can nominate a teacher (other teachers, staff, students, former students, parents. etc.) This year PreK-5th grade teachers are eligible.

Online nominations can easily be submitted: http://goldenappleofrockford.com/form/5-teacher-nomination-form.html  Teachers will receive the comments (option for nominators' names to remain anonymous) in November.

Safety Drills

As part of our continuing efforts to improve safety here at Capron Elementary, we have conducted Fire, Storm, and  Intruder drills this fall. The safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priority at Capron Elementary. We will continue to practice safety drills throughout the year to help our students know what to do in the event of an emergency. The school district is working closely with local authorities to correctly implement these procedures. The goals of the training drills are to improve our ability to protect students, save lives, and reduce injuries. We encourage families to talk about the drills our students have experienced. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your continued support of Capron Elementary.
