If your child has medication here in the school nurse’s office please pick up your child’s medication on or before Thursday, June 1st. The school is not able to store medication over the summer. 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. 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 of the next school year. The forms can be completed any date after the current school year ends. Forms, to all students who currently have medication here at school, were sent home to students in their Tuesday Take Home Folder.

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.

This will be our last Tuesday Take Home for this school year. I wanted to take this opportunity to say goodbye to all of you. Your support, kindness and sense of humor have sustained me for the past 16 years.

I could not have found a more supportive community, whose values mirrored my own. In 16 years approximately 6000 kids have walked through these doors and I have never once not thought of that responsibility as I laid my head down at night. It was a privilege that I never took lightly and I thank you so much for your trust in me.

The teachers at this school truly love and care for your children. They want the best for them and want them to succeed. I know that this school will continue to flourish under the leadership of this staff and Mrs Doornbos. It's hard to walk away, but I know that I am doing what's best for my family.

Many of you have asked what my plans are and honestly, right now I don't have any! After so many years of having every minute of my day accounted for, I'm looking forward to that. I will probably continue to work, but at a job that allows my time to be more flexible. I also have 2 beautiful grandkids, one of which is beginning Kindergarten who I am excited to spend time with and be in the audience for all of his special moments at school. It'll be nice to be on the other side!

I wish you all a wonderful summer and I wish every Hannum family the very best.

We have an early dismissal on our last day.. Friday June 2nd. Students will be dismissed at 11:30 on that day. Please make sure you make arrangements for someone to be there to pick up your child on time...especially on the last day of school.

The Hannum Library is now closed for the remainder of the school year. Renovations began this week!! You'll notice a temporary wall in our foyer. That is so the workers can get in and out as necessary, but not compromise the security of our school. The wall will be removed at the completion of work.

There will be NO ARBOR LUNCH SERVICE ON WEDNESDAY MAY 31ST. The PTA is buying pizza, bottles of water and freeze pops for each student. If you do not want your child having this lunch, please pack them a different lunch for that day. For your information though, we change the lunches that day to accommodate Field Day.

K-2 will have lunch and recess from 11:00-11:50

3-5 will have lunch and recess from 11:55-12:45
