5Essentials Survey Is Open
Once again Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 will participate in the 11th annual statewide survey of school climate and learning conditions conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). This survey provides a platform for students, teachers, and parents to express their opinions on ways to improve their community's schools. Please take a moment to ensure your voice is part of the process by participating in the survey. The 5Essentials survey helps school administrators in District 123 prioritize and plan for the upcoming school year. Our school will only receive the results of the survey if enough families, staff, and students participate.
Spring Conference Scheduling
Spring Family Conferences will be held on February 23 from 5p - 8p and February 24 from 11:30a - 6:30p.
Beginning on February 9 at 10:00 am, all District 123 families can log into Skyward Family Access and pick their family conference time and date. Online conference scheduling will close on Feb 20th at 10:00 pm. Below you will find a series of resources to answer any questions you may have about Skyward Family Access. As always you can contact your school office if you have any additional questions about scheduling or a family conference.

Drop Off Lane
Note: You can begin dropping off students in the drop-off lane at 8:10 A.M. We have been getting really backed up at about 8:20 A.M. and cars until 8:35 A.M. To avoid this, please consider dropping off students earlier as between 8:10 A.M. - 8:20 A.M.the line is much shorter.
With cold temperatures and difficult weather will become more normal, we are going to experience a larger number of families that are utilizing our Drop Off Lane.
When using the Drop Off Lane, please note:
- When entering the drop-off lane, pull up as far as you can. When stopping your car, if you are anywhere along the purple curb, please have your student(s) exit the vehicle and walk on the sidewalk.
- Students should walk directly onto the sidewalk. From there, walk along the sidewalk to Door 2.
- Please be patient while using the Drop Off Lane.
Thank you
