During the winter parent teacher conferences, families are invited by the teacher to attend at a specific time, if there is a need to connect in person. Look for a letter from the teacher in your child's backpack by Friday, January 31. If you ever want a conference, let your child's teacher know, and they would be happy to meet with you.

Once we got back from winter break we hit the ground running in Music Class! My favorite part of the month was listening to our students sing our school song at our welcome back assembly. In class we talked about MLK, what our future dreams are, how we can change the world, and how to be a good friend to everyone. Lunar New Year began on 1/29 and 2nd graders have been adding instruments to a song called Xīn Nián Kuài Lè, which translates to Happy New Year. Stay tuned for more videos on seesaw. Ms. Freeman

If your child turns 5 by Sept. 1, 2025, mark your calendar for Kindergarten Roundup on Friday, Feb. 7. The registration event will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the District 75 East District Office, 470 N. Lake Street.

In District 75, students have indoor recess when the "real feel" is less than 10 degrees. We are all excited about the forecasted break in the arctic temperatures headed our way. Until then, here are some pictures from a typical indoor recess!

This year, the teachers decided to hold the third class party at the end of the school year. The date will be determined by the teacher, in consultation with the parent party planners. If you and your child were hoping to send valentines, the teachers are still honoring friendship that week. As long as there is no candy/food, notes for every classmate is A-Okay.
