The next few days mark the reason we exist at Grace Lutheran School, to share and experience the Good News and love of Jesus. A love so deep and full that he suffered death on a cross for our redemption from sin. May your time this weekend include both the sorrow of Good Friday, and the unbelievable joy and thankfulness of the Easter Resurrection. If you are seeking a way to worship this weekend, check out this link for details on the live-streamed services available through Grace Lutheran Church. https://www.graceriverforest.org/welcome/lent-holy-week-and-easter-worship/  I wish you all a wonderful Easter.

In these days of cool mornings and warm afternoons the number of of jackets and sweatshirts is growing in our lost and found pile. If you haven't seen your child's coat in a while, please tell them to come to the school office and check.

Yearbooks. We are taking orders for school yearbooks. The cost this year will be $24.00 each. Please send a check to the school office or pay online here under "one time school fees, other".

Congratulations to Alumna Eunice Ho. Eunice, a freshman at Proviso Math & Science Academy was given an award for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics by the Society of Women Engineers. Eunice thanked Mr. Schultz for the inspirational teaching that has contributed to her academic success.

Parents of 6^th-8^th graders: We ask that during morning drop-off you pull forward to the main entrance to drop-off your student. Stopping in front of the church doors creates a back-up onto Division Street, and we have narrowly avoided a couple accidents recently. Having the students walk a few extra steps is good for them and worth it for the safety of everyone.

Reminder: There will be no school or daycare on Monday, April 5.

Please use the link below to check the daily schedule.

Travel Restrictions Updated The Cook County Department of Public Health has recently modified their travel restrictions. Several states in the midwest no longer require a quarantine period or negative Covid test upon your return to Cook County. Here is a link to the list which is updated every two weeks. Travel Restriction List of States  If you plan to travel at any other time, please be mindful of which states still have high Covid rates of infection. If you travel to an Orange state, we will expect that your student will quarantine for 10 days upon return or receive a negative result from a Covid test in accordance with the CDPH guidance listed here.
