January 17, 2022As you know, this is a short academic week. Students have school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday is a noon dismissal. If you'd like your student to take a lunch home with them, be sure you sign them up using this link TONIGHT. Your access closes on Tuesday.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is a FRIDAY schedule for students. That means specials and lessons will reflect what typically happens on a Friday. FastBridge math and reading assessments will take place for our students next Tuesday, January 25th (for math) starting at 8:45 am and Thursday, January 27th at 12:30 (for reading). |
Just before break we received the books that were ordered from the Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you to each of you who made
donations and helped add these books to our classroom library.

Here is a link to share your contact information with our PTO. You are already a member simply because of your association with a student (or students) at Lake Bluff. Our school cannot share your contact information with it for privacy reasons though. We find incredible personal value in all they do. We hope you'll want to be included in their updates, linked to their incredible resources, and become familiar with the many ways they support our school community, and even get involved yourself!
