Monday, May 26th - No School (Memorial Day)

Monday, June 2nd - Field Day

Tuesday, June 3rd - Last Day of School!

Registration for the 2025-2026 has been open for THREE WEEKS!

As of today, we have 51% of our students' registered. We have less than two weeks left of school. Help us reach 100% by year's end!

This summer, Clow Elementary will be under construction! We look forward to being one of eleven buildings that will have a renovated office space, complete with a secure vestibule area, to begin the 25-26 school year. We will also have new flooring placed in our gymnasium and multi-purpose room. Because of this, there will be limited access available to the building during the summer months. Help our office staff out by making a plan NOW to complete your student's registration before the school year ends! Please note that the online registration may be submitted without the required medical and health documents. Those may be submitted during the summer, after completing required appointments. Check out our Registration Kick-Off FUN, below.

If your family is moving and will no longer be in our attendance area, you can still participate in our Kick-Off! If you send an email to Mrs. Berck (megan_berck@ipsd.org) and Mrs. Bennett (katie_bennett@ipsd.org), letting us know about your move, that will count as your participation for the contest.

Last call for readers to submit their Kane County Cougars reading minutes and earn a free ticket to the game!

The online form will be open through 5/22/25.

Happy Reading!!!

Mrs. Fader, LMC Director

Current 2nd-4th grade students will be bringing their district-issued Chromebooks home for the summer. Please refer to the attached graphic for care guidelines. We highly recommend that devices do not go on vacation with students.

All current 5th graders will return their devices and chargers to the Clow LMC on May 23rd. Students will receive a Chromebook and charger in middle school. If any 5th graders need a device for summer enrichment math classes, we will communicate with families soon to coordinate.

Calling all bookworms going into grades 1 - 6!

Indian Prairie School District’s online registration is now open.

We are looking forward to a fun-filled Field Day on Monday, June 2nd, rain or shine! Our fingers are crossed that it'll be a beautiful "almost-summer" day! While we will have opportunities for students to take a break at one of the stations, we want to make sure students are well hydrated on this day. Please send your student with a water bottle that they can take to each station. Consider also having your student wear a hat to block the sun and help keep cool. You are welcome to sunscreen your student before sending them to school that day, too!

District 204 is pleased to announce the launch of a district-wide volunteer tracking program using the Raptor Technologies system, in alignment with our Strategic Plan. This program aims to promote and recruit volunteers across the district to support areas such as Boosters, Fine Arts, LMC, PTA, and IPPC events.

All volunteers must complete the district's original volunteer form and a new online application via the Raptor Technologies system. Upload the original volunteer form into the online application. Access the forms on our Volunteer Program webpage. This process ensures consistency across all district schools.

If you have questions about the program, please contact Jeannie Dina, Assistant Director of Community Relations, at jeannie_dina@ipsd.org.

Are you looking for a great way to celebrate your child’s birthday at school? Whether your child already had a birthday this school year, or it is coming up... Clow LMC has the answer! You can donate a book to Clow’s LMC to honor your student AND help build our library collection!

Here are two ways to participate:

1. Go to Amazon.com. Use the following link to access our wishlist:

https://a.co/3hgh2n9. You will find books to add to our library collection to purchase for the LMC. The book(s) will be sent directly to our school from Amazon. It's that easy!

2. Fill out the Birthday Book Club permission slip that came home and return to school at your earliest convenience. If you have misplaced that form, please send an email to nicole_fader@ipsd.org letting me know your student is able to participate. Shortly thereafter, you will see a $15 fee in PushCoin. Your student will be able to come to the LMC and select a brand-new book that we are eager to add to our collection!

With either choice, I will add your student’s picture inside the front cover of the book commemorating the donation and hang his/her picture on the wall of the LMC.

Thank you for considering this program! If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me @ nicole_fader@ipsd.org.

• Regular school hours are 9:05 am – 3:35 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students may begin arriving each of these days at 8:50 am.

• Wednesday school hours are 9:15 am – 3:35 pm. This late start allows time for staff to engage in professional development opportunities. All arrival procedures, student supervision, and bus service will be delayed by 10 minutes every Wednesday of the school year.

If your child will be absent from school for any reason, please remember to call the school office to report the absence (630-428-6060, press option 3). Please also share the reason for the absence, as our attendance system requires that a reason for the absence be entered. If you report the absence on voicemail, please include both your child's name and the reason for the absence. If our school nurse should need additional information, she will reach out to you directly.

When students arrive to school on time, they are able to follow their classroom routine and get the day off to a great start. We do understand that situations may arise that can impact a child arriving to school on time. If you know your child will be arriving to school late on any given day, due to an appointment or other obligation, we encourage you to make the classroom teacher aware of the expected late arrival as well as ask that you contact our school office. Students arriving late to school should come to the front, main entrance doors. A parent/guardian must come in with the student to sign him/her into the office and share the reason for late arrival. Students should not be dropped off without an adult. Thank you for your assistance in getting your child(ren) to school on time each day!
