Principal's Message
Friday, September 30th
Fall is definitely in the air this week! We go outside every day unless it is raining and/or the wind chill and temperature combined is below 0ยบ F so please ensure you send your Panthers with appropriate attire for going outside. Our lost and found collection grows daily so please do encourage your child to take a look if they are missing anything. Please plan to visit the lost and found when you come for parent teacher conferences.
Parent Teacher Conference sign up links will be going out this Sunday (2nd October) at 7pm. Please call Mrs Dunning or Mrs Hamilton at 847 398-4288 on Monday if you have any issues or questions.
Thanks!
