Here is a picture of our entire school. In order to make this happen our students needed to:

If you are running late to pick up your child for any reason, please call the office at 963-6972 x0. We are reminding students that if they are expecting an adult and the adult has not arrived within 5 minutes, they should go to the office to wait. This is to ensure that all students are safe and accounted for.

If making it to dismissal on time is challenging and your child will need supervision after school, we kindly encourage you to explore the Milestones program for after-school care. Our staff are not available to provide childcare beyond dismissal. Thank you for your cooperation!

Check out this amazing picture of the Northern Lights above Lake Bluff or is it the positive energy radiating off our building? Either way, we just had to share!

Every week we will try to showcase some important people that you may not know who contribute to the success of Lake Bluff.

Ms. Adams has worked at Lake Bluff in a variety of roles for the past 29 years. Currently, she is our building substitute teacher and fills in where ever we need her. She has been a Shorewood resident since 1986. Truly a staple in our school and community.

Ms. Adams' Fun Fact: Ms. Adams swam with crocodiles in Australia. She is our very own Steve Irwin!
