News from Lake Louise School

Notes from Mrs. Riehman
Dear Lake Louise Families,
Happy October! A reminder that this week is a shortened attendance week for students. School is closed Monday, October 9th in honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, and Tuesday, October 10th, for the Teacher Plan Day.
Physicals and immunization records are due to our school nurse, Ms. Morales, by October 15th for students in Kindergarten and 6th grade. If you have any questions or need support in obtaining these records, please contact Ms. Morales at moraless@ccsd15.net or 847-963.5602. If records are not turned in by this date, students will be excluded from school until we obtain the records. We want to keep all of our students in school, please complete the state requirement for your child.
Our PTA still has a few openings for Room Reps to support the planning of classroom parties and events such as class field trips. These events are more fun for all when they have a volunteer coordinator. If you are interested in volunteering please sign up using this link.
Our Halloween parade and parties will take place on Tuesday, October 31st. More detailed information will follow in a separate communication later this week. The PTA is collecting gently used Halloween costumes to give to students in need of one for the celebration. If you have any costumes you would like to donate, please send them to school with your child, and we will collect them in the office.
It's always a great day at The Lake!

Safety Drill Notice: Lockdown Drill with the Palatine Police Department
Our lockdown drill with the Palatine Police Department is on Monday, October 16th.
District 15 is strongly committed to school safety. Our goal is to not only provide a safe environment but to also prepare our school community to know how to respond if/when a crisis arises.
Important Reminder: Tuesday, November 7th ~ Half Day of School
Tuesday, November 7th students in Bilingual Kindergarten and 1st-6th will have a half day of attendance from 9:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
At the August 8, 2023, Board of Education meeting, the 2023-2024 school calendar was revised with November 7th to reflect a half day of school for students (AM) and a full day for staff with Teacher Institute for staff (PM).
For November 7th, Half-Day Kindergarten and Half-Day Early Childhood do not attend school. Students are dismissed before lunch so we do not serve lunch on half days. Students will be served breakfast at schools that serve breakfast. Please click here to view the updated calendar!
