5th grade teachers and school administrators have spent the last few weeks carefully reviewing their students' needs for 6th grade. Beyond Encores of Art, Family and Consumer Science, Music, Spanish, STEM, plus Band per student choice, academic courses include Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Science. For a small percentage of students, enrollment in Extended Curriculum (EC) classes for Language Arts and Math has been considered. If students are eligible for EC classes, a letter will be sent home on May 15th. Full student schedules are available in August prior to the start of school.

A new Boundary Update page is now available on the District website. It will be regularly updated to share new information and feedback opportunities. The boundary committee met for a second time on Monday, May 13. The page will soon be updated with insights from the discussions held during that session.

Incoming kindergarten and PreK students are invited to “meet the bus” at the annual transportation open house. The event will be held Thursday, August 1, 2024, from 9am-1pm at the TJA bus garage, 1204 S. McHenry Avenue in Crystal Lake. Visit the D47 website for details. Flyer

The Crystal Lake Police Department needs your child's help with designing the 2024 National Night Out T-shirt! They are calling on Crystal Lake 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to submit their National Night Out t-shirt design by June 28th to Officer Stolzman at kstolzman@crystallake.org. The winning artwork will be featured on the official NNO t-shirt and handed out during the event. Learn more about National Night Out here: https://natw.org/.

On Thursday, May 16, we will be having an assembly in the afternoon at 2:15 pm. Our students will be watching our 5th graders in their Musical Performance. Because of the assembly, we will be running an altered schedule, which will affect our lunch times. Please reach out to your child's teacher for their specific lunch times, if needed.

Fun Day is Wednesday, May 22nd!

Each year we ask that students wear a particular color based on their grade level. It adds to the excitement, and helps us keep track of the groups of kids as they are spread all over the school grounds. Colors are assigned by grade level.

Kindergarten-white

1st- Black

2nd-Red

3rd- White

4th-Black

5th-Red

All Cross Cat classes wear RED

If you have time to volunteer on Fun Day, there are still some slots that need to be filled by parent helpers. Please click the sign up genius if you can help on the 22nd.

If you have any questions about Fun Day, please contact Mrs. Smart.

Our school district has been engaging in Deep Equity work this year. Part of this work is to ensure equal access and opportunities for all students.

Our team has been brainstorming ways to help students feel more connected and included at Indian Prairie. We thought ensuring that all students had access to spirit wear might be a good place to start.

We are asking families to donate any gently used Indian Prairie spirit wear that their children have outgrown to the school office. The school office will keep the spirit wear on hand and distribute it to families that may not have the ability to purchase new spirit wear for their students.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

School will soon be over for the 2023-2024 year. Please make arrangements to pick up any medications and supplies that may be in the health office prior to 10:30 am, on May 24th, 2024. Any medication or supplies that are left in the health office after that time will be discarded. Please call if I can be of any assistance. You may find new medication authorization forms for 2024-2025 on the District website.

Thank you Kindly,
