Erickson Express

Consider donating NEW pajamas for the preschool service project next week. See flyer below. The class that donates the most PJ's earns a donut party!

Dear Erickson Families,

Students should wear red, white and blue for our Veterans Day celebration on Monday, November 11th. Thank you to the third grade team for planning an assembly for students. Third grade students will be singing, with the direction of Mr. Lebowa, our music teacher. Third grade students will also be the hosts and announcers during the assembly. Due to space, this is a student only assembly (plus invited Veterans). At Erickson, we value providing students with leadership and performing opportunities throughout the school year. We will have about 15 Veterans in attendance to honor.

Parent Teacher Conferences are around the corner...please make sure you sign up for a conference with your child's classroom teacher. Other specialists are also available to meet with! Check out the conference sign up . Parent Teacher Conference Sign-Up Link. All families should find a time to connect with the classroom teachers.

Wounded Warrior Fun Run is tomorrow, Friday, November 8th from 3:30-4:15. Last chance to sign up! Sign up closes tonight!

If you need to report an absence, please call the school 630-529-2223 or email the teacher and the attendance line: erattendance@sd13.org

Have a wonderful day!

Stacy Johnston

Principal
