Eagles in Action
3rd Grade Eagles in Action Update:
We have been supporting the LaGrange Area Food Pantry this school year with our chapel offerings we collected in August and September. Each month, $77 went towards our monthly non-food item (for example: diapers, pump soap, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap) that isn’t covered by SNAP cards plus any sale items that a local store was running. We’ve purchased cereal, spaghetti sauce, coffee, brownie and cake mixes, soup, cranberry sauce, sugar, flour, tuna, refried beans, and pasta to name a few. Thank you for your generous offerings and the opportunity to serve our local food pantry.

Gratefully, the 3rd grade class

Plans for the 2021-22 School Year
We will be having faculty meetings in June to plan for the 2021-22 school year. We will be sending out information by June 15th. Please keep an eye out for this important email, as well as further updates throughout the summer.
Reminder!
Make sure when you need to contact the school office, you use the current email address: school@stjohnslagrange.org
Also, all staff should be contacted via stjohnslagrange.org emails as well.
Please do not use the old sjlagrange.com email addresses.
Arrival Procedure Reminder:
● We will continue to use three separate entrances. You have to enter at your assigned entry point. This will keep the number of people in any one place to a controlled minimum.

● K - 8 will park the car and parent and student will get out of the car (with masks on) and proceed to a designated “spot” for temperature to be taken, and then the student only enters the building. Parents enter and exit the parking lot via Brainard. Preschool parents will be using Park Rd.
  • 7:45 - 7:55 Kindergarten and Grade 1 enter at Door A, Grades 2-4 enter at Door B
  • 7:55 - 8:05 Grade 5 enters at Door B Grades 6-8 enter at Door A

●8:05 - 8:15 Preschool Morning Classes enter at Park Road Doors

● 12:20 - 12:30 Preschool Afternoon Classes enter at Park Road Doors

● Late Arrivals: Follow the procedures above, but expect to wait until an available temperature taker meets you at that door. 
REMOTE LEARNING POLICIES REMINDER
As a reminder, the remote learning option is only for students who are required to stay home due to quarantine, as approved by the teacher(s) and Mrs. Mannes. Remote learning is not available without advanced notice and approval, or for unexcused absences.
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!

A great big thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Lisowski who have faithfully changed our outdoor school sign every week this past school year, and the past five years!! We are so grateful for their faithful service to our school! The outdoor sign keeps our school, church, and neighbors updated on the great things happening here at St. John’s.
We congratulate the following students for earning Accelerated Reader Certificates:

Ready 1: Liliana Carey, Andrew Pedroza
Independent 1: Alivia Thomas
Independent 4: Isaac Holec


Keep up the good work!
You can continue to view student artwork and make purchases on the Artsonia site throughout the summer. It’s not too late to purchase a custom made gift for your student to celebrate all the hard work they’ve done this school year. What a great way to show them you value their creativity and talent!
Remember - Our school gets 20% of whatever you purchase to buy more art supplies for next year. Thanks for your support!
