• 10/14 Columbus Day - No school
• 10/23 Early Release Day at 1pm
• 11/25 & 11/26 Parent Teacher Conferences (See below for times)

If you ordered a picture packet and want your student to get a retake, please return the ENTIRE packet to school with your student tomorrow so it can be turned in to the photographer.

If your student forgets their chromebook at home no worries they will be able to borrow one from the tech dept. for the day. Also if they have forgotten gym clothes they are able to borrow a nice clean set from the PE dept. No need for you to drop off these items.

If you do have an item to drop off for your child, please use the box in the entry way and please be sure to write name & grade on a post-it note provided in the box. We will do our best to get it to your child.

As we enter the Fall season, there are many tasty drinks to enjoy. Please enjoy these drinks outside of school hours as water is the only drink allowed within our classrooms. If students bring in other beverages, they will be asked to throw them away.

Students are allowed to dress up in costumes on Thursday, 10/31 for Halloween.

Please note: Students who come to school in costumes that are violent in nature, inappropriately revealing, or culturally offensive will be asked to change into regular clothing. Students may not wear masks or paint their entire face. NO WEAPONS of any kind, even if they are plastic and no inflatable costumes will be allowed. The Lundahl Middle School administration reserves the right to ask students to change if a costume is deemed inappropriate for the school environment. Please check with an administrator if you have any questions.

Now that the school year is in full swing I would like to remind families of the importance of parent and emergency contact information. Accidents, injuries and illness happen, and it is imperative that we have correct parent phone numbers and that the voicemail is able to accept messages. In addition, please check your student’s emergency contacts in ParentVue (Student Info tab) and verify that these individuals are available during the school day to help out if necessary. It is ideal to have at least 1 person other than parents listed for us to contact if needed. After reviewing your student’s information, if you need to change or add anything please reach out to the main office at 815-788-5450 and we can assist you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Parent/Teacher conferences for all grade levels will be held in person during November on the following dates:

Monday, November 25, 2024 8:00 am - 8:00 pm

Tuesday, November 26, 2024 8:00 am - 11:00 am

Please be on the lookout for a communication from your child’s school/teacher with more information.

All of our awesome LMS families helped to fundraise close to $395 for Portillo’s and Guzman y Gomez dine out nights! This is a quick and easy way to help our school raise money for the PTO so we can continue to provide our students and staff with things they need throughout the school year!

Also thank you to all who purchased MUMS, we were able to raise close to $500!

Some of the things that PTO helps to support throughout the school year are: whole grade field trips for each grade, sport uniforms, teacher appreciation week and meals during conferences, teacher pop ups, whole school musical field trips and field trips for our clubs, honor night awards, LMS musical supplies and props and more!

As new clubs begin, they will be added to our Clubs & Activities page on our website. We encourage parents and students to also check our Daily Announcements, which are posted on our website each day, to see what clubs are starting up soon.

We love having spectators to cheer on our teams and invite our students to stay for the games after school hours. Please talk with your children about the following expectations if they are attending any after-school events/game:

• They are expected to stay in the building and gym for the entire duration of the event until their ride is there to pick them up

• They are expected to follow school expectations of being safe, respectful, and responsible.

• They are expected to show appropriate spectator behaviors: cheering at appropriate times, paying attention to the event, and showing respect to both teams at the event

If these expectations are not followed, they will be asked to leave the event and may have additional consequences or impact their ability to attend future events.
