This week our building will go quiet. We are grateful for this year of learning, growth, friendship, overcoming challenges, increased confidence, and joy! Wishing you all the best summer that includes lots of great books!

Welcome to the final 3 days of school. Tomorrow our students will walk to Atwater beach (weather permitting). Here is the note we sent home with students on Thursday last week. On Wednesday the 5th graders have their field trip to Skateland and the 6th graders have their completion ceremony first thing in the morning and a boat trip on the Edelweiss in the afternoon. Thanks to everyone for returning your student's permission slip.
For families of 6th graders, know that the completion ceremony will begin at 8:30 on Wednesday morning. You will enter through the cafeteria doors and seating is first-come-first-served. Your student will receive a 6th grade t-shirt on Tuesday; some will choose to wear it all day on Wednesday, others will change after the ceremony into it. Whatever you and your student decide is just fine.
For families of 5th graders, remind your student to bring long socks on Wednesday for roller skating. Students are invited to bring their own skates (if they have them) and if not, of course skates will be provided. Water bottles are encouraged and helmets are optional too!
It was disappointing to have Hot Dog Day cancelled and our students rolled with it! On Tuesday, immediately after school, students will be invited/encouraged to participate in the all school Dance Mob organized and led by Ms. Church. We had our own dance mob in MAC 3 on Friday with about 25 of our students enthusiastically participating.
Please ask your student to search for and return Lake Bluff library books as well as MAC 3 books. Our students will visit the library for the final time this week. Students who have books out from the school library did receive notification of the book/s they have out last week.
Here is information for our families of 6th graders. On the last day of school, June 10 the day will begin with a completion ceremony. One of the most anticipated parts of that ceremony is the photo montage of each 6th grader from when they were small and a current photo. You'll see a link you can use to share your student's photos. There's another link to volunteer to help out on the final day. And you'll find an overall schedule for that day's events.

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.
