We had an exciting and fun September Assembly last week!

Over the next two weeks, we will be starting up three new clubs for our students to explore! (Sewing, Theatre, and Cosmetology)

All of our sports teams have shown improvement and are doing great. Our basketball and soccer teams will begin their end of season tournaments next week. Good luck!

Indigenous Peoples Day: A friendly reminder that we will not have school next Monday, October 13th. We will resume a full day of classes on Tuesday, October 14th. 

SAEBRS: Next week, our students will be participating in a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) screener through FastBridge called SAEBRS. This brief questionnaire helps us better understand how students are doing socially, emotionally, and behaviorally so that we can provide the right supports to help them thrive at school. The screener is not a test, but rather a tool that gives us valuable insight into how we can continue to build a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment for all students. 

MHS Cheerleading Clinic: Please review this flyer English/Spanish if you are interested in having your child participate in Mundelein High School's cheerleading clinic on October 16th.

Come learn practical strategies to strengthen belonging, build resilience, and create the supportive networks every learner needs to thrive. Here is a flyer for more information.

Safety & Game Day Policies

Unaccompanied minors: All K-8 students must be accompanied and actively supervised by a parent or a responsible adult.

Clear bag policy: For the safety of all guests, only clear bags will be permitted inside the stadium.

Online ticketing:  All tickets for Friday events must be purchased through GoFan.

Attendance Matters: Attendance = Achievement! Middle school is a key time for students to develop habits that will carry them into high school and beyond. When students attend every day, they are more likely to keep up with lessons, participate in activities, and build the confidence they need to succeed. Even a few absences can make it harder to stay on track. Thank you for partnering with us to make attendance a top priority!
