A yearbook photographer was in the building on Friday, January 30 taking classroom and candid photos. We were pleased to sneak in a photo of our own.

Each year in MAC 3 we ask our families to help us celebrate Pi/Pie Day. This year March 14th (3.14 or Pi) is next Saturday, so we'll recognize Pi/Pie Day on Friday, March 13th during maths (8:45-9:45). In the past, families have contributed homemade pies and store bought pies. (They have been $3.14 at Metro Market! Not sure what they will be this year.) If you're going to contribute, please make sure your pie is nut free for the safety of all students. Interested in contributing a pie, plate, napkins, forks or whipping cream? Click here to sign up and THANK YOU! This might be one of our students' favorite days of the year, for very good reason! Who wouldn't love doing maths while enjoying pie!
This past week students started planning for their student-led conferences (March 19 and 20). Please use the link below to schedule a day and time that will work for you and your student. We expect to meet with every student and their adult/s. 77% of our students (and their adults) have scheduled their conference, thank you!
Click here if your student has Mrs. Miller for maths (or Mr. Reynolds). Thanks to the 19 families who have signed up already!
Click here if your student has Mrs. O'Malley for maths (or Mr. Reynolds). Thanks to the 18 families who have signed up already!
Students have begun gatherine artifacts/evidence of their learning and growth for each content area and describe where they've come from, what they are working on currently, and where they see themselves going next. It's an incredible opportunity for self-reflection, celebration, and focus. We thoroughly enjoy the experience and know you will too. Thank you in advance for honoring the days we have dedicated for these conferences by delaying any out of town travel until after your student's conference.
Mandated state Forward testing has been scheduled. Here is MAC 3's schedule:
3/17 ELA Session 1, 12:45-1:45 (both 5th and 6th grades)
3/25 ELA Session 2, 10:15-11:15 (both 5th and 6th grades)
3/26, ELA Session 3, 12:45-1:45 (both 5th and 6th grades)
4/14, Maths Session 1, 8:45-9:45 (both 5th and 6th grades)
4/15 Maths Session 2, 8:45-9:45 (6th grade only)
4/16, Maths Session 2 (5th) 3 (6th), 8:45-9:45 (both 5th and 6th grades)
Students are encouraged to have a snack in the morning (and afternoon, if they choose) and most do. Recently more and more are asking us for their daily snack. We typically have pretzels to share and our intention is that we are no more than a once-a-week resource. Some of our students bring cold lunch and snack on something in their lunch. Many of our students though take advantage of our school's hot lunch and forget to pack a snack from home. Could you please remind your student to bring a snack from home, if they want to have a snack daily? If you'd like to donate to our class pretzel fund, we welcome your donations! We've been going through 2-3 bags of pretzels each week. Thank you.

Orchestra and BandYour student has a printed lesson schedule for the next few months. Lesson schedules for Band can be found on the Band Lesson page. Lesson schedules for Orchestra can be found on the Orchestra Lesson Schedule page.
Students will have their lesson on the same day each week but the time will shift to ensure they don't miss the same 30 minutes each week. Please help your student remember to bring their instrument and music on their lesson day. For many, it's an upsetting way to start their day when they realize they forgot their instrument and/or music. Thank you in advance! Homework and the content pagePlease see our Content Page for specific updates related to students' learning.

Lake Bluff ExpectationsThis slide deck was created by Ms. French (principal) and Ms. Janzen (dean). We will share it with our students so they know what's expected and can hold themselves and others responsible for their actions.
Our students have recess first (11:15-11:40), followed by lunch (11:40-12:00). Scooters, bikes, and skateboards must be walked on school grounds before and after school. (see slide 8) Smart watches (like phones) must be powered off and stored in backpacks all day. (see slide 9) District Resources |
You can access the Beagle Bulletin here - through the Shorewood School District/Lake Bluff School home page.
Our two room parents are: Sarah B. (Teagan's mom), Lindsey M. (Emilia's mom), and Kathleen D. (Becca's mom). Thank you to them both for linking the efforts of our families and PTO with us!
If you'd like to chaperone a field trip or plan to be in our school during the school day, you MUST fill out the school district's volunteer/background check form. You can access that here.
School lunch is available or families can choose to send their child to school with a lunch from home. Here is the February menu. Additionally, here is information about accessing Free or Reduced meals for your student/s.

These adults include: Lauren Courter (Art), Dominic Newman (PE), Elizabeth Russell (Library Media Specialist), Liisa Church (General Music), Kim Hildebrand (Spanish), Kate Zachar (Special Education), Catherine Harrison (Student Support Specialist), Nikki Janzen (Dean of Students) and if your student plays a string instrument Julie Nolan (Orchestra) or if your student plays a band instrument Katherine Myszewski.
