We need your input on "What are the most important skills, experiences and habits students need to prepare them to be successful in learning and life?" To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued. Please click here to participate: https://tejoin.com/scroll/250535128. Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on.

Please pick up unused medication. The school is not able to store medication over the summer. Please pick up your child’s medication on or before Thursday, June 2nd. If the school does not receive communication from you by the above date, the medication will be discarded.

New Medication Authorization forms must be completed each school year in order for your child to have medication in school (attached). Please have these forms completed and bring/send these completed forms to school with your child’s medication by the first day of student attendance.

The forms can be completed any date after the current school year ends.

Please call the school nurse, Maureen Malloy, RN 708-952-7897 or email mmalloy@d123.org if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.

Even though this has been a wet and rather chilly spring, it is time for our 4th and 5th grade students to meet younger siblings at their doors from the outside. Your older students should not be going through the school to be dismissed with their younger siblings. We have been running into issues at dismissal, with our older students playing around in the hallways. Our teachers have enough on their minds getting K-2 students out the door and with their correct guardian. 4th and 5th grade students will now be dismissed by their classroom teacher at the door on 99th Street and will walk to the younger siblings exit door by going around the building. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Students are working on posters either at home or at school to share what they are proud of this year! We have learned so much this school year and with everything our students have been through the past couple of years, it is time to CELEBRATE! We will have our 1st Annual Growth Parade around Hannum School! Parents are more than welcome to come. It starts at 2:00 on May 25th. There is rain in the forecast, but possibly by 2:00 it will have moved on. If it rains, then the students will parade around the gym with parents in the middle.

The 5th Grade medical requirement forms were sent home recently. Please be sure to look for them and have them completed as soon as possible. You may return the forms to Hannum as long as they are completed before the school year ends. Please contact Mrs Malloy if you do not receive them. Her extension is 7897

The D123 Summer School program is accepting registrations beginning today! Brochures were sent home yesterday regarding the offerings this year. If you can't find it, please click on the link below that will take you to the web page that includes the brochure AND the registration link. Summer School is Monday through Thursday and begins the week of June 20. Summer School meets for 16 sessions. Some classes are already full, so make sure you register as soon as possible!! Summer School will take place at Covington and Hometown School this summer.

K/1 Doors: Please do not block the driveway...especially at pick up. Please do not park in the driveway leading into the St Germaine parking lot. You must park in an actual spot.

2/3 Doors: Please be patient and wait in line when dropping off your students. Do not cut in front of another car so you can drop your child off.

4/5 Doors: Please do not pull up going Eastbound on 99th Street and walk your children across this very busy street. Pull up far enough if you want to watch your child until they get in the building. If you don't you will block everyone else trying to drop off their kids.

Now is the time to register any children who will be old enough for preschool or Kindergarten!! Please click on the links below for more information as the requirements are different depending on the program you are interested in.

We brought in $5585 surpassing the goal of $3500. It wouldn’t have been possible without all the wonderful shoppers that support our school. We couldn’t have done it without you. THANK YOU!

For those that had money left on E-wallet, you can use it online or save it for the Fall Book fair.
