Good afternoon, Lockport School District 91 is committed to bringing students back into our buildings through our blended learning model scheduled to begin on September 28th. In order to remain informed and enhance our preparations, school personnel monitors state and local data and communications closely for information that could impact our ability to reopen schools for in-person attendance. Earlier this week, the Will County Health Department released the attached letter to increase awareness of the rising metrics in our county. This information reminds us that we have strong reason to continue to be mindful of the virus and that our collective actions have a significant impact on our students' return to the classroom. We hope our stakeholders will continue to focus on mitigating risk within our community. Thank you for your partnership, The D91 Admin Team |

Time to Register for 20-21
Dear D91 Families, Our team will be working over the next few weeks to create a transition plan for the 20-21 school year. While we would like to thank the many families who have already fully completed the registration process, we must encourage those that have not started, not submitted, or still need to submit documents to do so ASAP. Documents (if required) can be uploaded into Infinite Campus, emailed to lkrumlinde@d91.net, or mailed to Lockport School District 91 ATTN: Registrar 808 Adams Lockport, IL 60441. Complete registration information can be found at: http://www.d91.net/registration.html. Link to Infinite Campus Parent Portal to get started: https://icampus.lths.org/campus/portal/lockport.jsp Families that have students transitioning to the high school, please keep in mind that this is the last week to pay your fees at the discounted rate. If you would like registration assistance, please contact Mrs. Krumlinde for a virtual appointment at 815-838-0737 x1104 or lkrumlinde@d91.net. She will help you in a step by step way to get this task completed. It is more important than ever for our families to complete student registrations, so our team can create the transition plan. It is critical that we know how many students will enroll in each grade to properly assign teachers. If you have any special circumstances or are no longer planning to enroll your child, please contact Mrs. Krumlinde or your building principal. The D91 Administration MG Summer Enrichment and Zooms
Hello Milne Grove Families! I hope the first weeks of summer break are seeming at least a bit normal for you. We are feeling a bit lost with the odd end to the school year, and I bet the kids are, too. The Milne Grove Enrichment Activities page in your child's Google Classroom is up and running this summer to help us maintain our connections and keep those little minds working. Please have your child log into their grade level Classroom (MG Kindergarten, MG Second Grade, etc.). If he or she never signed into that yet, an invitation should be waiting for them once they are in Classroom. Once on the Classroom Stream for their grade (2019-2020 school year), they will see a message from me asking them to fill out a brief survey about what activities they would like to see this summer. Below this is the existing Enrichment page, which I will be updating throughout the summer. I look forward to hearing the students' ideas and having some fun learning with them this summer! Please be in touch with any questions or comments. Thank you! SIncerely, Mrs. Tumino Email Survey Kelvin Grove Students: Parents/Guardians: Ask incoming 4th-8th graders check email & complete student survey Dear Parents / Guardians: Please have your Kelvin Grove student access a very short survey through their school email account -- or ask them to click the link below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfSJbPZV2PEkEpcn2ZAVJPz8p_s5QNLQFo4GCjackGD236Egw/viewform Thank you very much for your help!
