A hopeful photo to remind us all that spring is here, even if it doesn't feel like it consistently, yet!
april 6, 2026
We hope you had a lovely spring break!
We now have now entered the final sprint of the school year. Our sixth graders will begin planning for their Passage later this month. Your student's day and time has been scheduled. Click here to see which day and what time they will present their Passage.
For our students who are in orchestra or band, the lesson schedule has been updated. Students also received a paper copy prior to spring break and we have the schedules posted in our classroom for them to see and use.
Ms. Church worked with our PTO to provide a series of African Dance workshops, including a dance teacher and drummer, for our students that begins this Thursday. There will be two more workshops that will culminate with an after school dance class and social for all 5th and 6th graders on May 1st (3:35-4:35 pm).
Mandated state Forward testing has been scheduled. Here is MAC 3's remaining testing schedule:
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.
