We are looking forward to Halloween festivities on Monday. Our parade will be outside, weather permitting, at 1:15. Classroom parties will follow. Please see below for details.
This week’s highlight is Ms. Komoda’s 3rd grade dual language class. Students had fun writing in Japanese, completing animal research projects and learning about historical figures. We hope you enjoy the room 221 highlight!
Please note that Monday, November 7th and Tuesday, November 8th are non-attendance days for students.
The Village of Schaumburg has approved changes in parking on Lowell Lane and Norwood Lane. Traffic can be congested on these streets with cars and buses. The changes in parking can ensure traffic flow is smooth and the safety of our students is prioritized. These changes will go into effect on November 21st. Please see the image below to familiarize yourself with the adjustments.
Our 3rd and 4th graders are so excited about their upcoming “Thank a Veteran” concert! It will be at 7:00 p.m. on November 10th. This year we are having the concert at Mead Junior High in Elk Grove. We will also be having a Patriotic craft sale, which includes patriotic origami, magnets, necklaces, ribbons, etc. These crafts were made in art class with Mrs. Thomas! All proceeds will go to Honor Flight Chicago! This is a very noble and respected organization that spreads awareness of the gratitude we owe our Veterans. They fly Veterans to Washington D.C. for the day, to visit all the war memorials that have been created in their honor. This is at no cost to the Veteran; it is paid for by donations that Honor Flight Chicago receives!
All our welcome to attend this Patriotic concert! If you know a Veteran, please invite him/her also! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Conrad.
Dooley’s Halloween celebration will take place on the afternoon of Monday, October 31st. Students should bring their costumes to school on that day. Costumes must go over their clothing.
We will have a costume parade that begins at 1:15 p.m., weather permitting. We will parade outside of the building exiting the front doors, down Norwood Street to Bradford and back to the school. Parents are welcome to watch our parade from the designated area outside the front of the school OR line up along Norwood Street. Our staff and students enjoy spectators along the route.
Halloween is a fun and special time of year for many children. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of our children, please keep in mind the following considerations:
A party arranged by the PTA Halloween party planners and helpers will take place following the parade in classrooms. Only party planners and party helpers who are assigned to support in classrooms will be allowed in the building during parties.
Dismissal for Monday, October 31st will be at the regular time (3:00 p.m.). Students will not be expected to change clothes prior to their departure. We appreciate your support in following these guidelines so Halloween is enjoyable for all.
