We have had a wonderful week at Lester. Student sessions for MAP testing took place for all grades this week and makeups will be happening next week. In addition, Aimsweb testing will take place next week.
Thank you for all of the families who joined us for the McTeacher Night on Tuesday night! It was such a fun evening and we raised over 1,200 dollars for the Lester PTA. THANK YOU!!!
Our staff is looking forward to the exciting week next week. Thank you in advance for all of the planning involved for staff appreciation week. We are grateful!
Please be sure to review all of the information in the newsletter. We have lots of exciting things happening over the next month.
We hope that you all have an enjoyable weekend! :)

REPEATED ITEMS BELOW:
Downers Grove Public Library Card for District 58 Students!
During District 58’s registration process, parents can sign their students up to receive a library card. Students will receive their library cards for the 2024-2025 school year.
Construction begins at many District 58 schools over spring break. To keep parents apprised of construction progress, updates will be provided on our website here, including progress dashboards of our middle schools.

ABSENCES
Will your child be ABSENT?
This year, we have a Google Form for you to fill out to let our secretaries know when your child will be absent from school. This is an option for you instead of calling or emailing. Our hope is that this will streamline the process for you! We will add this link each week for you in this Newsletter.
