The Eagle's Nest

Dear Walsh Families,

Thank you to all who attended our "Walsh 100th Birthday Celebration". What a wonderful turnout! We are so happy that we had the opportunity to celebrate with our students and families. We will include pictures and a link to the video in our next newsletter.

May is here and we are in the final stretch of the school year! Let's end the year with lots of learning and great memories.

For Earth Day, kindergarten students at Walsh Elementary helped plant a tree on the playground. The tree was donated by the Bridgeview Chamber of Commerce. The students are excited to see how big the tree grows throughout their years at Walsh!

Happy Spring! Registration packets went home to all incoming 2nd and 6th graders. Please make your physician appointments now. All required medical forms are due before the first day of the 24-25 school year.

Also, cold and flu season is not over. Refer to the attached letter of when to keep your child at home as well as how to inspect your child's hair for possible lice. This should be done frequently throughout the school year.

District 104 will now follow updated covid-19 guidance provided by IDPH and the CDC. If your child is covid positive, your child is to remain home 24 hours until both are true: fever-free without using fever reducing medications and symptoms are improving overall. Upon return and for the next 5 days, the CDC recommends enhancing hygiene practices and wearing a well-fitted mask.

Have a great spring break!
