The Golden Apple
November 2023

Happy November! As we look back on October, we are so grateful to all of our families and community members who supported our staff and students last month (and every month)! From an incredible turnout on a rainy night for the Hispanic Heritage Celebration to so many parents attending Parent-Teacher Conferences and brave families watching students parade in their Halloween costumes on a snowy day, we are thankful to all of you. We are proud to be Round Lake Schools!

Thank you to everyone who brought treats to Halloween parties this week, dressed their students in amazing costumes and attended parades! Our students had a blast and our staff did, too. We so appreciate your support in making this a successful and safe Halloween across the district!

We so appreciate everyone who attended Parent-Teacher conferences last week. Our teachers always enjoy the opportunity to talk with parents about their students and we love welcoming families into our buildings. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Hispanic Heritage Celebration in October! It was a packed house at the Round Lake Beach Cultural and Civic Center and our students put their best efforts into all of their performances. We are so proud of our students and staff!
