While it's hard to believe, the sun is setting on this school year. It is the final week of your student's fifth or sixth grade year.
It's been a year filled with change and flexibility, learning and great books, growth and discovery, and curiosity and friendships. Thank you for sharing your student/s with us. We are grateful for your support, questions, and trust. When compared to what our experience has been previously, our students, your child/ren have been through so much over the past 27-months. We are beyond grateful for to have had two years with nearly all of our sixth graders and look forward to another year with our fifth graders! Fifth grade families, please be sure your student returns their field trip permission slip by tomorrow (if possible). All of our sixth graders have their permission slips in - thank you! |
This is the t-shirt all sixth graders will bring home on Wednesday!

Hot Dog Day was perfect - weather-wise, perfectly executed by a dedicated group of parent/guardian volunteers, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks to all who made it happen!
District Devices!! Your student should be sure to have their district device and charger at school on Monday. They will be collected from each student.
Books! Books! Books! Please ask your student to check their room, shelves, backpack, and anywhere else they may keep books for books that belong to our classroom library. Most are marked on the top with this written on the pages: MAC 3 Oak. We have many books that have yet to be returned. Thank you in advance!
On Thursday you received communication about class placements for next year. It is the case that we are shifting from a 4-section 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade at Lake Bluff, to 3-sections at each of those grade levels. Unless you have requested your student be switched from our room, your fifth grader will be a sixth grader with us next year. As of this posting, we will welcome 7 additional rising 5th graders and 5 new 6th graders because of the loss of one section at each grade level.
Here is a quick run-down of this week's activities:

School lunch is available at no charge for all students again this year. Here is the May/June menu.
Your student has the benefit of coming into contact with many different, deeply committed and caring adults throughout their week. Familiar to your student if they are returning to Lake Bluff are: Kevin Karman (Art), Dominic Newman (PE), Diana Knight (Library Media Specialist), Liisa Church (General Music), Amy Gahl-Sweeney (School Counselor), Catherine Harrison (Dean of Students), and if your student plays a string instrument Julie Nolan (Orchestra). New to our building this year are: Kim Hildebrand (Spanish), Dominic McFerrin (Special Education), Breanna Smith (Aide), and if your student plays a band instrument Katherine Myszewski.

Here is a quick run-down of this week's activities:
- Monday: it will be a typical day.
- Tuesday: it's a Friday schedule. We will walk to Atwater Beach with MAC 1 and 2 from 12:15-2:15. Click here for a note about this activity.
- Wednesday: Our olders will return to MAC 1 during a part of the morning and we will welcome our rising 5th graders from MAC 2. Students will empty out their tubs and take home their folders, notebooks, and other school supplies.
- Thursday: It's the last day of school. Report cards will be available through IC at 9:00 am. Our fifth graders will be roller skating (they may bring their own skates or rollerblades, if they have them). They should remember to wear long socks to prevent blisters. Our sixth graders will start the day with their completion ceremony. If you'd like your student to wear something other than the sixth grade t-shirt, that's fine! They can change into the t-shirt (or save it for a different day) after the ceremony. Know that it is the case most students wear the t-shirt, some just after the ceremony.
