We have had a fun filled full last week of school! Students enjoyed Fort Day and Fun lunch today. In addition, our 6th graders had their end of year party. We will miss all of our 6th graders next year! Students also enjoyed the Kona Ice Truck and the assembly. Thank you to our PTA for providing these great experiences. Our 1st and 6th graders also went on field trips and our 4th graders were visited by the High Tech High Touch Science Team. Today, students heard all about the summer reading program from the Downers Grove Public Library as well.
On Field Day (as with any other day), only registered volunteers will be able to be on campus (inside or outside). This is very important for the safety of all of our students. Registered volunteers (who have been emailed and know who they are) will come to the office to check in through our Raptor system and receive their lanyard and sticker. In addition, all students must remain on campus and may not leave campus for any reason unless they are signed out through the office.
Next Tuesday, we will have field day followed by our last day of school which is 11:30 am dismissal. The 6th grade will be "clapped out" of the building at Door 5. If you would like to greet your 6th graders there, you can cheer them on as they head to Herrick!
We do not have school on Monday in honor of Memorial Day. Report cards will be going home on the last day of school as well.
If you have volunteered at Lester for any reason and still have a lanyard, please return the lanyards to the office. We are missing several so we appreciate your help with returning these.
We hope that you all have an enjoyable 3 day weekend! :)

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.
