ARS Families, We just received updated information on the asphalt path construction. It will be delayed until sometime next week which means the path is safe and open for business :) I will update families as I get information.
ARS families, the Village of Fox River Grove informed us today, Wednesday, 10/19, that they will be tearing up the blacktop path that stretches from Algonquin Road through Stanger Park to the creek beginning at 7:00am Thursday, 10/20. I know this may affect how some students get to school. Please make alternate plans for your child if this is the route they normally take to school. Your child's safety is our number one priority! Please reach out to Mr. Walton with any questions or concerns.
