Waters Families,


We are looking for Room Parents for this school year. The Room Parent time commitment is variable and anything you can give helps! Classrooms can have multiple room parents to share the work and much can be done behind the scenes via email. Friends of Waters will be providing support and guidance along the way. Please fill out the Room Parent Interest Form to lend a hand.


See you at the Back to School Bash after school today!


With kindness,

Mr. R.

Bike Bus is Back Bike Bus is Back

The Waters Bike Bus is returning for the 2026 fall semester.

This is a great time to be sure your bikes are dusted off, tuned up, tires pumped, and brakes biting!

Our Linktree has all the useful info in one place - the map, signup genius links to volunteer to bring donuts, music or help marshal (or lead!), and the link to get on or off this email list: https://linktr.ee/lschikidical (you can also unsubscribe using links at the bottom of this email.


As always, we'll meet at Buffalo Park, 4501 N California, and roll out at 7:25. The route, and estimated rendezvous times, which you can find at https://linktr.ee/lschikidical, runs 2 miles around the Waters school district, and riders are encouraged to join anywhere along the route.

We're looking for people to participate in ownership of the bus - whether that's helping run the mailing list, other publicity, marshaling, or driving the bus! Follow the Linktree links to our Signal group to get into the discussion!


Our friends at Chicago Family Biking have put together a nice, short Rules video you can watch with your kids to remember how we ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTir7lu3w7M


And you can find more great resources on their website: https://www.chicagofamilybiking.org/biketoschool
