Good Afternoon! This is a reminder that we are working on a project for our staff for the upcoming staff appreciation week - May 5-9. We would love to have a positive note about any staff member (teacher, aide, cafeteria worker, bus driver, custodial, etc.) at LGS and WMS. If you could take a minute to submit a positive message or story using this form, that would be great. You can submit more than one. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeubCqhFWvmxqGFoqMAeSgGC4hYc2Z5O3kmkV-3CtG82ZfhBQ/viewform?usp=sharing Thanks for your help!

At a special meeting held on April 21st, Andrew Kistner, John Mitchell, Abby Novak, and Shelby Yocum were officially sworn in as new members of the D52 Board of Education. We’re excited to welcome them to their new roles and deeply appreciate their willingness to serve. During the meeting, the board also elected new officers for two-year terms: Maggie Mose will serve as President, Whitney Klinke as Vice President, and Katie Heinold as Secretary. Congratulations to each of them! We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our outgoing board members Dave Robinson, Dan Baker, Tim Custis, and Jessica Leach for their outstanding service, leadership, and unwavering dedication to the students, staff, and families of the D52 community.

This is a reminder to complete the parent 5 Essentials Survey by visiting https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/. We do need 20% of parents to complete it in order to get a parent report from the state. We have met that threshold at LGS (30%), but we are currently at 19% for WMS. Once completed, you can send the attached form to school with your child to be entered into a drawing for a gift card. All surveys must be completed by March 28. More information can be found in the attached letter. We greatly appreciate your input!
