With Ramadan beginning, we would like to accommodate your child per your wishes for the daily lunch periods.

If your child will be fasting during Ramadan, please let us know in order for us to provide appropriate seating arrangements for your child. We want to ensure that your child is as comfortable as possible while they are fasting. Therefore, we will have alternate seating arrangements during the eating portion of the lunch period.

We are asking that families fill out this form so we don’t miss anyone. Please return this form as soon as you are able. Thank you for your assistance as we plan for this observance.

Please note, if you do not have a student fasting during Ramadan, there is nothing you need to do. If you do, please click on the image or clicking on Ramadan Form.

Our survey window is almost closed! Just a few more days - survey closes on Friday, March 31st!

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.

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
