A Message From Mr. Ladenburger

Do not forget, our curriculum night is on Thursday, August 29. Each homeroom teacher will give two identical presentations. Each presentation will be the same so you only need to attend one of them. Our entire specials team and P.E. teachers will be located in the media center and all other staff members will be located in their rooms.

Also please note that we will have an online system for parents to sign up for our November parent/teacher conferences. In the past, many homeroom teachers would have a sign up out at curriculum night. This year you will not see that due to this change. Information on how to sign up for conference will be communicated at a later time.

6:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Presentation #1
7:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Presentation #2

Away For The Day

We have been reminding our students that all Portable electronic equipment includes devices such as cell phones, video recording devices, smart watches, iPods, and other electronic devices are not able to be used during the school day and that they must be put away for the day. Please also refrain from texting your child during the day as well. You can always call the main office if you need to get information to your son/daughter.

Community Resource Guide

FSD79 has collaborated with Mundelein School Districts 75 and 120, Fremont Library, Mundelein Parks and Recreation District, and Village of Mundelein to create a shared community resource guide.
