If your child has medication here in the school nurse’s office please pick up your child’s medication on or before Thursday, June 1st. The school is not able to store medication over the summer. If the school does not receive communication from you by the above date, the medication will be discarded.

New Medication Authorization forms must be completed each school year in order for your child to have medication in school. Please have these forms completed and bring/send these completed forms to school with your child’s medication by the first day of student attendance of the next school year. The forms can be completed any date after the current school year ends. Forms, to all students who currently have medication here at school, were sent home to students in their Tuesday Take Home Folder.

Please call the school nurse, Maureen Malloy, RN 708-952-7897 or email mmalloy@d123.org if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.

Our 5th Grade Recognition Day is this Friday. The day officially begins with a special lunch provided by the Hannum PTA and 5th grade families. The grade will be able to enjoy a longer time for lunch as they will have the entire 50 minutes for lunch. Our 3rd and 4th graders will be eating lunch in their classrooms.

The afternoon, will consist of fun games, food and friendship. Parent are more than welcome to attend, but you must check in at the office if you meet the kids outside. If you don't have a badge, we will need to ask you to come in to sign it and then sign out at the end of the day.

Hoping for sunshine :)

It's been a few years since we have had wide scale picnics, so I wanted to remind all parents, that if you are coming to help or just to be with your child at the picnics on the Hannum field, you must first come to the office and sign in. It is important that we know who is on our property. When you are leaving, please remember to come back to the office to sign out.

Our 2nd annual Growth Parade is set for next Tuesday morning at 9:30. We will (weather permitting) parade around the outside of the school so everyone can see what our students are proud of from this school year. COME JOIN US!!

If it's raining we will be inside, in the gym.

The Hannum Library is now closed for the remainder of the school year. Renovations began this week!! You'll notice a temporary wall in our foyer. That is so the workers can get in and out as necessary, but not compromise the security of our school. The wall will be removed at the completion of work.

Now that everyone will be coming back to school, our traffic issues will return as well. Please see the attached map for where to drop off and where you can park if you want to get out and walk your child to their line.

Here are some reminders for helping us get kids in and out of school safely:

• PLEASE pull up as far as you can go when you are letting students out of the car.
• PLEASE do not park across the street and have kids run across to get either to the school or back to your car.
• PLEASE be patient as kids are getting out of the car.
• PLEASE do not block the entrance and exit of the school parking lots and
• PLEASE do not park in the driveway of St. Germaine School. (You may pull into the spots in their parking lot, but do not park in the driveway....except for next week...see above)

Our school will be serving nutritious breakfast and lunch every school day. If you qualify, you can receive free or reduced lunches. Please call the office if you need information about how to qualify. The cost of breakfast is $1.50 and the cost of lunch is $3.05.

BREAKFAST will be served in the main hall of our school beginning at 8:10-8:25am. Students will enjoy their breakfast in our multi-purpose room and then will go to their line to start the day.

LUNCH will be ordered with your child's classroom teacher every morning. Students will be able to choose from 2 choices. Students can also bring a home lunch and only order a milk. Milk only is 60 cents and students can choose white or chocolate. You can add money to your child's meal account through Skyward. https://www.d123.org/departments/operations/lunch-menus

DOUBLE LUNCH Many of our older students like to order a double lunch. I ask if they have permission and they say they do... then parents are surprised that the lunch balance goes down so quickly. I have told our 4th and 5th grade students that they need to have permission to do this, so please speak to your children about this.

LUNCH TIMES:

Grade 5 eats from 11:00-11:25

Grades 3 and 4 eat from 11:25-11:50

Kindergarten eats from 11:55-12:20

Grades 1 and 2 eat from 12:20-12:45
