Many thanks to our MAC 3 families for contributing to such a lovely welcome back breakfast on Monday, January 5th. Our students spent the day eating, much like they had spent their time at home over winter break, maybe! We are grateful to Kathleen Duppler ❤️for organizing the event AND being there to set up and break down all that was brought in.
Your student brought home a permission slip for Friday's field trip to the Urban Ecology Center. Thirty-four permission slips have been turned in so far, thank you! The south group will attend from 9-11:30 and the north group from 12:30-3:00. Both groups will eat lunch at school, like any other day. The UEC educators will teach our students about Earth's natural resources, renewable and non-renewable resources, observing the trees and land the UEC is situated within, and (provided there is snow) they will sled! Please return the signed permission slip by next Wednesday. We will remind you next week that all students will need to be sure they dress for this outing next Friday.
Our students will take the "winter" FastBridge assessments this week. On Wednesday morning (10:15-11:15) they will take the ELA portion and on Thursday (8:45-9:45) they'll take the maths portion. Students will use their Chromebook and test in MAC 3. They collectively ensure the environment is what each student needs and deserves to do their best.

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.
Your student has the benefit of coming into contact with many different, deeply committed and caring adults throughout their week. 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.
