Eagles in Action
Seventh Grade Eagles in Action Project

During the month of October, seventh graders are collecting stocking stuffers for service members in harm’s way during Christmas. A grocery bag will be placed in each classroom to collect items needed for stocking stuffers during the month of October. Below is a list of the items we will collect as they are urgently needed at Operation Support Our Troops (OSOT) – America, Inc. On October 29, the seventh graders will bring your offerings and volunteer their time stuffing stockings for United States Service Members. Please bring the items listed below to school on Wednesdays during the month of October:

*Trail Mix (Individual Packs)
*Slim Jims / Beef Jerky (Individually Wrapped)
*Individual Cold Drink Mix (Gatorade, Propel, Lemonade Singles, etc.)
*Band-Aids

Thank you for your support!
Announcements
KEEP US INFORMED SO WE CAN KEEP EVERYONE SAFE!!!
If your student is going to be tested for COVID, you must notify the school immediately. Do not wait for the results or for the next school day to let us know. Email the school office: school@stjohnslagrange.org
and if it's the weekend, email Mrs. Mannes: t.mannes@stjohnslagrange.org
Guidelines for Keeping Students Home
As a reminder, we are required to follow IDPH and ISBE regulations in order to remain open for in-person instruction.

If your student has ANY of the following symptoms, your student and all siblings must stay home from school:
  • fever (100.4 or higher)
  • new onset of moderate to severe headache
  • shortness of breath
  • new cough
  • sore throat
  • vomiting
  • diarrhea
  • abdominal pain from unknown cause
  • new congestion/runny nose
  • new loss of sense of taste or smell
  • nausea
  • fatigue from unknown cause
  • muscle or body aches

Your student may return to school after receiving a negative COVID test or receiving an alternative diagnosis from a doctor. Asymptomatic siblings may also return at this time.
If you do not obtain either a negative COVID test or alternative diagnosis, your student, and siblings, must stay home for 10 days from onset of symptoms AND have been symptom free for 24 hours.

Thank you for continuing to be vigilant as we navigate this school year together!
