We are having a hybrid format for our Parent Information Nights. Teachers will be sending home information including an introduction video that will contain classroom and curriculum information. These videos will be sent out prior to the scheduled meet & greet. We have selected two nights when we will have a scheduled time to invite parents in to see their child’s classrooms and meet the teacher. We will be dividing the parents into two groups each night. This has been done in an effort to make parents and staff comfortable coming into the building and providing the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher.

During the scheduled day & time parents will be able to stop in and visit their child’s classroom and meet the teacher. There will be no formal presentations on these evenings. IArts teachers will also be available in their classrooms on September 8th. Everyone will be required to wear masks in the building. Please enter through the main school doors on Waiola Avenue. We are looking forward to seeing you!

4th graders at St. Francis Xavier School, LaGrange, IL received their school issued Chromebooks this week! Technology skills at SFX are taught purposefully through content areas and use of the devices complements student learning standards and objectives in a safe, monitored environment. Students follow a curriculum which fosters growth of strong digital citizenship skills.

The LaGrange Fire Department would like to express their thanks to our students and staff. From PreSchool through 8th grade, everyone exited quickly and quietly.

Congratulations to the SFX Falcon Cross Country Team and their finishes at the opening season Fenwick “Rust Buster” meet!

Well done Coaches & Falcon Runners!

SFX Middle School students' assumptions are challenged as they learn about cohesion & observe the power of surface tension in water droplets.

PICTURE DAY is THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th!

Van Gogh School photographers will be here first thing in the morning taking all student, faculty and staff pictures. Students may be out of uniform, including those who have PE that day. Students are encouraged to dress their Sunday best.

The photo taking procedure this year is thus. Students are called to the photographer, stand on a marker on the floor, remove their mask, SMILE, next student. Prior to last year they hopped up on a stool. No hopping again this year.

We are continuing the PRE-PAY picture program. Instructions for the pre-pay program are on an instruction card that was sent home, and attached to this message. For those who do not prefer to order online, call the Van Gogh customer service number 1-847-382-2282 ext. 7. On-line orders must be placed prior to or on picture day. Retake day has yet to be scheduled. Please contact me with your questions or concerns.

Parents of bicycle riders... Please ask your children if they have been locking their bikes at school, and reinforce the need to do so!

Students must lock their bikes in the bike racks during the school day with a lock the student’s family has purchased. The school assumes no liability for bicycles.

Due to the fact that gym class and recess will be occupying the playground, the half-day Preschool 3, half-day Prekindergarten and half-day Kindergarten will be dismissing the students at the Waiola Avenue Door (Office Door near the ramp).

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, Preschool 3 and half-day Prekindergarten dismissal time is 11:20am. On Wednesday, Preschool 3 and half-day Prekindergarten dismissal time is 10:40am.

The half-day Kindergarten dismissal time is 11:20am Monday-Friday.

The SFX Family and School Association would like to thank ALL families that generously contributed to last year's 2020-2021 Staff Appreciation Fund. Through your generous contributions, we were able to collect a total of approximately $25,000. This was then distributed amongst ALL staff and teachers at the end of the school year. What a phenomenal way to show our community's gratitude to the staff and teachers after such an unprecedented year.
