Family Photo: Our final science unit will be studying the traits passed on from parents to offspring in animal, so to help please send in a photo of your child and one of their parents only so we can compare with ourselves. If you'd like to send in two separate pictures that's perfectly fine! Please send this with your child by Tuesday, May 20th at the latest. These will also be returned safe and sound :) 

 

Pillowcase: Included in your child's folder is a letter asking for a blank white pillowcase to be sent in. This is for their memory keepsake project for the end of the year. Each student will need one. Size does not matter as long as it is the standard size minimum. It must be white. Please send this in with your child by Tuesday, May 27th. 

Church: Our next church service will be Wednesday, May 21st. This is the namesday for our church so it will be a little bit longer of a liturgy to celebrate! Please ensure your student is dressed properly for church on these days. No shorts may be worn for liturgy and vests for boys must be worn. If it is warm, you may send students in with a pair of uniform shorts to change into after church. 

 

Field Day: Field Day will be on Tuesday, May 27th. Weather permitting this is a day where we'll be outside and playing with water balloons. If you'd like to send your student with a change of clothes for this day or a towel feel free to! Please send them initially in their Fun Run t-shirt. Sunscreen is also recommended for this day to protect our students. More information on lunch will be provided shortly. 

 

The Forge: Our final field trip of the year will be to the Forge on Thursday, May 29th. Students are to be dropped off at the Forge in Lemont by 8:50 a.m. If you are not chaperoning please e-mail with who is taking your student back to school so we know who is responsible for each of our students. Please use this link to pay for your student's fee, chaperones do not need to pay a fee! This is also a day where you will need to send your child with a lunch in a disposable bag as well as water for the day. We will arrive back at school around 1 pm. Students must wear their field trip t-shirts with whatever bottoms they'd like. Please keep in mind that we will be doing plenty of activities so comfortable shoes and clothing will be necessary. If your student is not attending, it is school policy that they stay home this day. We thank you for your understanding regarding this matter. We are excited to make new memories with this adventure together! 

 

Awards: Our honors awards will be held in the afternoon on Friday, May 30th. This is open to come and watch students collect awards for growth in MAP, volunteer hours, specials, etc. Even if your child does not receive an award this day I am proud because EACH of them have made amazing progress across the board. They will also be receiving individual awards in the classroom this day. Time and details to come on this day!

 

Reptile Show: Thank you everyone for promptly returning the permission slip for this event! This is always a favorite for our students and a wonderful cap to the end of a great year. We will be watching a reptile show in the morning on Friday, May 30th. Please use this link to pay your student's fee. 

 

Days Off: In observance of a teacher institute day and memorial day, there will be no school on Friday, May 23rd or Monday, May 26th. I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend with their families!
