5th Grade Puberty Instruction:
Your child has entered the preadolescent years. The school feels that you are your child’s best teacher in these sensitive areas of growth and development, however, the state of Illinois requires puberty education be offered to students in the fifth grade. We are offering instruction to the 5th grade class on May 19, 2026. The girls’ class will be taught by nurse Mackenzi Biggins and the boys’ class will be taught by Mr. Brandmeyer. The curriculum consists of growth and development changes, characteristics of puberty and the importance of a healthy lifestyle including hygiene, exercise, diet and a positive attitude. State regulations specify that parents may decide whether they want this instruction for their child. Please contact the school office if you do not want your child to participate in this class.
Classroom Cleanout:
On Wednesday, May 20, the students will be cleaning out their personal items from the classrooms and their lockers. Some lockers are packed full. Students may want to bring a plastic bag (or 2) to carry their extra materials home. Also, please discuss with your child which materials you would like them to bring home. The teachers will be accepting donations of lightly used supplies such as markers, crayons, scissors, glue, paper, etc.
Field Day:
The 4th and 5th grade students will be participating in Field Day on Thursday, May 21 from 9:00-11:00 (weather permitting). Students should dress comfortably with appropriate shoes (sandals/crocs are not recommended). Face paint will not be permitted at school. Also, be sure to apply sunscreen. Thank you to Mrs. Musenbrock for organizing the Field Day events!
2026-2027 Student Council
Any current 5th grade student interested in being on Student Council in 6th grade, please stop by the office to pick up a petition form! The form has information regarding the requirements of a student council member as well as questions to fill in on the back if you are interested in running! You must have a parent/guardian signature to verify that you have read the requirements! Petitions are due back in the office by Tuesday, May 19th at 3:03!
Softball Tryouts:
Any incoming 6th-8th grade girl interested in playing softball in the fall should sign up in the office. Tryouts will be held in July.
Coffee Truck:
The end of the year is drawing near. To celebrate we are having the Sip & Scoot mobile cafe here in our south parking lot on Wednesday, May 20th. They will be selling drinks to staff and families from 7:00-8:30. They will have coffee, espressos, lemonade, and smoothies for sale. If you would like to sponsor a teacher for $5, please pay Jenni in the office or Venmo Mrs. Emig at @Nikki-Emig. Your $5 will buy a teacher a drink of their choice to help celebrate an awesome school year. This is also a fantastic way to support a local business as the owner of the truck is a former Wesclin graduate!
