Principal's Update
Today brings one of our most exciting events of the year - The Color Splash! I recommend you bring a towel to pick up your child- students will be covered in color. We had another great week and classrooms began to get more in-depth with content and instruction. Please be diligent about checking your child's grades on Powerschool.
We will be starting SOS after school academic support on Monday, September 9th. SOS will run every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and students can take the activity bus home after SOS. Students must have permission to ride the Activity Bus. The Activity Bus Permission Slip must be on file with the office before a student is allowed to ride the bus.
6th Grade students will be taking a field trip to The Forge in Lemont on September 26th. Please click here for the Field Trip Information, permission slip, waiver and to make payment. 6th Grade Field Trip - The Forge.
