School Pictures

Individual student photos have arrived and will be sent home with students this week! We know you've been looking forward to seeing them.

We want to inform you that we experienced some technical issues with some of the class photos. We have been in touch with the photography company, and they are currently reprinting the corrected class photos. The revised class photos will be delivered and distributed separately at a later date.

If you paid for photos after the original picture day, your order will be shipped to the school following the November 7th retake day.

Please reach out to Ms. Smith if you have any questions or concerns at msmith@skokie68.org

October 31st: Halloween & Alternate Fall Activities

Here are a few things to note as families begin to plan for Halloween costumes and activities:
On Halloween, October 31st, students should come to school dressed in school clothes. Students will change into their Halloween costumes prior to the parade. Please make sure that your child can independently put on their costume. Costumes that are NOT permitted are: 
  • Violent themed costumes
  • Blood or bloody images
  • Masks
  • Weapon-like objects

The parade will begin at 1:45 p.m. and will start by going outside the 1st and 2nd grade doors. We will walk on the path to Lyons. Walk from Lyons to Latrobe, then Latrobe to Church, then continue on the path in front of the school back to the 1st and 2nd grade doors. Feel free to choose a spot to watch anywhere along the parade route. 

Classroom parties will take place immediately following the parade. 

If you do not want your child to participate in the Halloween activities, please let your child’s teacher know. We have an alternate activity planned during this time.
