It is hard to believe but our 8th graders need to start preparing for high school! There are several upcoming events for our 8th grade families to attend. I strongly encourage all families to participate in the Curriculum and 8th Grade Nights at your respective high school. The dates are the same for both Crystal Lake South and Crystal Lake Central. An email was sent from D155 on November 4th to 8th grade parents/guardians. If you have not received this email, please reach out to the high school your student will attend to confirm you are on their mailing list.
Here is some information for our 8th grade families…

Notes from the Nurse
Now that the cold weather is here, the number of reported student absences is on the rise. Please click the link below for guidelines for keeping your student home. If your student is home with a fever over 100.4 please keep them home until they are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications. Encouraging students to get adequate sleep and exercise regularly can be beneficial in keeping them healthy. As always, consistent and frequent handwashing can limit the spread of germs on a daily basis. Click on this link: https://www.d47.org/Page/526 for more information.

Weather Guidelines for Outside Student Activities
During the cold winter weather, be sure that your child comes to school with appropriate winter coats, hats, gloves, etc. Students go outside daily for lunch recess and need to be dressed for the weather. The guidelines established by District 47 during cold weather are as follows:
- Temperature/Wind Chill of 15 degrees or warmer = unlimited time outside
- Temperature/Wind Chill of 0 to 15 degrees = 20 minutes outside
- Below 0 degrees = Students remain indoors
Family Assistance
Lundahl supports the district's mission of empowering all students and strives to also provide support for families. If your family needs assistance, please complete the form linked below:
Activity Buses
The intent of providing these activity buses is to enable more of our students the opportunity to participate in school activities, clubs, and sports. Activity buses run on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays throughout the school year. Buses depart from Lundahl on these days at 4:15 PM. Click the link below for the stops for each of our two routes. Activity buses are available for any Lundahl student who currently has district transportation. If your child is planning to take the activity bus, please click this link to review with your student and identify which stop your child will use. NOTE: Activity bus drop-off locations may be different than your usual stop and may be further from your home.
