The Eagle's Nest

Hello Walsh Families!

Spring is almost here! The trees are already starting to bud and I saw my first robin. But wait... now snow? It is typical Illinois weather!

As we dive into the last trimester of school, I hope that you had the opportunity to meet with your child's teacher for conferences. If you were unable to attend on Thursday, please contact the teacher to arrange a time to meet; virtually or in person. It is important that you are aware of your child's strengths, as well as areas for improvement.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Christine Smith, Walsh Principal

Parent -- please click the link below to take an important survey about Walsh Elementary School. We need parents to participate! It will only take a few minutes.

Your participation in the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.

Your participation is needed and appreciated!

Congratulations to the February Students of the Month. They were recognized by their teachers for showing "Citizenship" in their classrooms.
