Lester Living

Hello Lester Families,

November is here and the season of thanks. We are so thankful for our Lester families and all you do. We know it takes a village and we are so grateful for your partnership.

This has been a wonderful week at Lester! We had our Skelebration Week and students really enjoyed all of the activities. We have included some of the photos that were taken throughout the week for you to see below.

Thank you to all of our parents for volunteering for and planning for our class parties. They were a hit and it could not have happened without all of you. In addition, during PE this week, students played an array of fun movement games including a movement Haunted House which students loved. We are so lucky to have staff who find ways to make learning fun!

As a reminder, next Tuesday we do not have school due to elections. We DO have school on Monday and again Wednesday through the remainder of the week. Monday is a 2:00 pm dismissal as always. Next Thursday evening is our annual PTA cultural Lester World Fair. We are excited that so many people signed up for this event and grateful to all who make it possible.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Monday!

From the District Office:

Staff Email Addresses

For security reasons, District 58 removed its staff email addresses from the school directory web pages. The District replaced it with buttons next to every staff member’s name that say, “Email [Staff Member’s Name]”. When you click this button, a web form will appear. Type your message in that form, and it will immediately be delivered to the staff member’s inbox.

District 58 made this change because we’ve seen an increase in phishing (scam) messages sent to staff. Scammers were previously able to send bulk phishing emails to staff by accessing the email addresses listed in our staff directory. We want our staff to be accessible to our community, while also keeping our staff email accounts secure. We hope this solution will accomplish this goal. Please reach out if you have any questions.
