Eye Exams
Algonquin Lakes Elementary will be celebrating Halloween on Thursday, October 31st with a whole school parade beginning at 1:15 pm and classroom parties to follow. The Algonquin Lakes PTO also looks forward to seeing families on Thursday, October 24 in the evening at their Halloween Family Dance Party! More information to come.
Students are permitted to wear costumes on Halloween as long as their attire meets the following set of expectations for a school setting:
Children should not wear bloody, gruesome, or especially scary costumes. Costumes involving fake blood are not allowed.
Actual weapons, look-alike weapons, toy weapons or weapon-like objects are not allowed. These accessories should remain at home.
Masks that cover the face and head are not allowed. Students should not wear make up. Staff members must be able to identify students at all times.
Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype about someone’s culture, gender, heritage or religion are not allowed.
Teachers may communicate additional considerations or recommendations. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions.
Due to limited space in the classrooms, only pre-approved volunteers arranged by the PTO Head Room Parents, that have completed the online verification process, will be permitted to assist in the classrooms.
For students who do not celebrate Halloween, they will have the opportunity to participate in an alternate activity in an alternate location.
The Algonquin Lakes Elementary PTO is volunteer-based non-profit organization committed to supporting the school community.
The PTO organizes events throughout the year, like classroom parties, family events, and fundraisers, to bring together families, faculty, and staff in a fun and engaging way.
If you have questions or are interested in joining or volunteering, please contact the PTO at alesptoweb@gmail.com
The Chicago Wolves’ “Read To Succeed” community initiative has been a successful library-based program since 1996 — encouraging more than a million students to make reading a fun and rewarding part of life.
Ms. Masching has introduced students to this reading program during book check out. Once a student has completed the the reading log, they can return it to our Media Center for a Chicago Wolves ticket order form that includes a list of all eligible home games.
The games go until April 2025, so there is still plenty of time to participate.
