Happy Friday!
I hope everyone is enjoying these brisk fall days. As the seasons begin to change, Chicagoland weather can be unpredictable. Some days can be pretty cold during recess, even in the middle of the day. I recommend that families send students with layers like sweatshirts or coats in the event that it is on the colder side. We had a few days of recess this week where the temperature was in the 50s and students were outside in tee-shirts. Brrr! Some students shared that they didn't think to bring an extra layer to school.
Speaking of layers, we have quite a few sweatshirts and coats in our Lost and Found. If your student is missing an article clothing, please encourage them to visit the Lost and Found to claim their clothes! I have embedded a video of our current Lost and Found lower in this newsletter. You might be able to spot something that belongs to your student!
On Wednesday, November 20th, Mr. Banas will host a 3rd grade & choir concert. The event that evening will be divided up into two concerts. The choir will be performing at both concerts. Below you can find the times of the two concerts and which 3rd grade classes will be performing.
- 5:30-6:00 - Ms. Greene, Ms. Hanna, Ms. Tomey, and Ms. Cabey.
- 6:30-7:00 - Mr. Hoerr, Ms. Klise, Ms. O'Hara, and Mr. Tomaszewski
Later this month, Report cards will be available to parents via Powerschool on November 22nd. We hope that our report cards will give you another opportunity to share how your child is performing, both academically and socially.
Have a great weekend!

Fall weather is finally here! With more rain and cooler weather, the school grounds are much more wet and muddy. Please consider sending an extra set of clothes with your child (top, pants, underwear, and socks) to keep at school in case they need to change after recess.
I also just want to remind parents/guardians that medications, either prescribed or over-the-counter (including cough drops), should NOT be sent to school with students without a medication authorization form on file with the health office. This form needs to be completed by their physician and also signed by a parent/guardian. Please find the form below, and it can be emailed back. Once completed, parents/guardians can drop off medications to be kept in the health office.
As a reminder, your student should stay home if they have vomiting, diarrhea, or a temperature of 100.4F or above. They should be free of these symptoms for 24 hours without the use of medication. Absences can be reported by calling 847-998-5040. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the health office.
