September is National Attendance Awareness Month, and School District U-46 is excited to kick off the school year with our Every Minute Matters campaign, centered on this year's theme: First Day, Every Day. To celebrate Attendance Awareness Month, all U-46 schools will participate in our first annual Districtwide Grade-Level Attendance Challenge! Throughout September, each grade level's weekly attendance will be tracked to see which grade level earns the highest attendance across the district. The challenge culminates in the recognition and celebration of U-46's top-performing grade level.
Here are the results from the first week of the All-District September Grade-Level Attendance Challenge!
Congratulations to the top 3 finishers from each grade level.
Week 1: September 8th
Gold - Third Grade
Silver - First Grade, Second Grade, Fourth Grade
Bronze - Fifth Grade
Check the Attendance and Absence Management page for winners from the previous week and other attendance resources.

Dear Lords Park Families,
We are thrilled to invite your family to our school’s upcoming Kindergarten Playdate! Our school is hosting a fun-filled hour on August 19 at 5 pm at the playground near the parking lot at Lords Park Elementary School. It’s a fantastic opportunity for your future kindergartener to play, explore, and start meeting their new friends.
In the event of inclement weather, we will hold the event the following day, August 20, at the same time and location.
Meet our school staff, get your questions answered, and connect with other families. These gatherings are a perfect way to ease into the exciting world of kindergarten with smiles and confidence.
