Notes from Mrs. Riehman
Dear Lake Louise Families,
Welcome Back to School! The Lake Louise staff is looking forward to welcoming students to the 2022-2023 school year. August 15th and 16th are dedicated to professional development for our teaching staff. We will be focused on preparing our students for academic, social-emotional, and functional preparedness. We are committed to providing the best possible educational experience for your child(ren.) A friendly reminder, the first day of school for students in Grades 1-6 is Wednesday, August 17th and it is a half day with the hours of 9:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Kindergarten and ECDEC students return on Thursday.
Our Meet the Teacher event is on Tuesday, August 16th from 1:30-2:30 p.m. We recommend entering the building this day through the door that your child will typically use this school year. This will allow your student to become familiar with their entrance routine. Please note that walkers and car riders who will participate in our breakfast program will enter through Door 5 and walk to the Café for breakfast.
Door 1- Busers
Door 5- Walkers and Car Riders
Door 17- Busers participating in our breakfast program
Breakfast and lunch are free to all students at Lake Louise. Both meals will be served in our Café this year. We encourage students to bring water bottles every day. Students may refill their water bottles at school.
Students who are car riders will wait for their parent/guardian car by Door 5 near the back parking lot. This is a busy area and our staff will safely assist the students in reaching their cars. As families pull up in the car rider lane, a staff member will greet you and ask for your family's name, and we will call your child(ren) over to assist them to the car.
Teacher assignments and transportation information are available in Infinite Campus. If you have any questions, please contact our school office at 847-963-5600. Below is a listing of our homeroom teachers. My future newsletters will each feature a few of our staff so you have the opportunity to learn more about the outstanding staff serving your students.

A Note from the Lake Louise Health Office
A Note from the Lake Louise Health Office
It is very important that all required health documentation is on file with the nurse no later than October 15, 2022. Students who do not have the required documentation after that date will unfortunately be excluded from school until it is completed.
All students new to District 15 will require a current physical exam with all immunizations up to date (Certificate of Child Health Examination), and students new to the State of Illinois will require an eye examination. This form is available in the school office, online, and here: State of Illinois Eye Examination Report.
All students should provide proof of immunizations by October 15, 2022 or the student will be excluded from school. The list of current immunizations can be found on the district website here: IDPH Health Requirements.
Students with health conditions such as asthma, epilepsy/seizures, severe allergies, and diabetes require the emergency action plan completed by their physician along with the Medication Administration Forms, signed by the physician and parent, for any medications required at school. Please bring these forms and medications on or before the first day of school. These forms are available in the school office, online, and here.
Diabetic Medical Management Plans must be brought in along with medication and supplies prior to or on the first day of school in order for the student to attend. If your child requires any of these health documents and you have not done so already, please kindly make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.
If you have any questions regarding the above requirements, you may contact our school office.
Breakfast and Lunch Information
Both breakfast and lunch will be provided to all students at Lake Louise School who would like to eat the food served each day. Students at LL are offered FREE breakfast and lunch daily starting the first day of school as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, funded by the federal government. Students may bring lunch from home if they prefer to do so.
What does this mean for families attending the CEP school like Lake Louise?
Again, all enrolled students will receive a free breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household. Your child(ren) will be able to participate without having to pay a fee, but we ask that you still complete the Fee Waiver form here (Spanish form) to determine if your family qualifies for other financial assistance such as school fees, athletic, and activity fee waivers. Again, completing the application is still necessary for other programs and assists with funding for educational programs in District 15.

Infinite Campus Parent Portal
Infinite Campus' Campus Parent is designed to provide parents real-time access to student information. The easy-to-use design displays what is currently happening in the classroom so you can understand, monitor, and participate in your child’s educational experience.
This portal also provides parents access to check for teacher placement and student schedules once their student is registered. District 15 has also used IC to gather parent survey responses. Make sure you have your account set up for the new school year! To learn how to set up your account, watch tutorials, or access a help center, please visit our website.
