Field Day  - June 3

The annual Shabonee field day will take place on Wednesday, June 3. Activities will be scheduled during a portion of the morning or afternoon, both inside and outside. If the weather does not cooperate, we will only hold indoor events. There is no hot lunch on this date. We will have a picnic-style lunch in the gym, so children may bring a small towel to sit on during lunch. 

Children are encouraged to bring sunscreen for field day and dress appropriately for the weather and physical activity. Students must put on their own sunscreen or come to school with it already on and reapply during the day. Staff will not be expected to apply sunscreen to the children. Due to allergy issues, children will not be allowed to share sunscreen. We look forward to some fun as we celebrate the end of the school year. 

Lost and Found

The lost and found collection continues to get bigger. Everything is on display through the last day of school. If your child is missing something, please encourage them to take a moment to check the tables and coat rack. Anything remaining on the last day of school will either be donated or thrown away. 

Last Day of School - Early Release on June 4  

The last day of school will be Thursday, June 4, with an adjusted bell schedule and early release. Shabonee hours for students on June 4 will be from 9:00 AM to noon. The bus schedule will be adjusted 20 minutes later than the regular pick-up time in the morning. 

Upcoming Music Performances (Repost)

We have two final performances for band, orchestra, and chorus students. 

Tuesday, May 19 - 5th Grade  

Wednesday, May 27 - 4th Grade 

Each concert has two performances, one for the school at 2:15 and another at 6:30 PM in the Shabonee Gym for families. The afternoon performance will be live-streamed for those families who cannot attend in the evening. A link to the stream will appear as a pop-up window on the Shabonee School website shortly before the performance starts.        

All performers should start to arrive at 6:00 PM for the night concert and wear black music shirts, pants, and shoes. The doors will open at 6:00 PM. Please don't arrive earlier because the building will not be open. We encourage you to carpool with friends and neighbors as parking tends to fill up. Park only in dedicated parking spots, and be cautious when entering and leaving school grounds. Parking is available in the main lot located off Pfingsten Road, the west lot located off Moon Hill Drive, and overflow parking is available behind the gym once the parking lots are completely filled. You may enter at Doors A, N, or E. The gymnasium has stairs. Please contact the school office in advance if you have special needs accessing the space. We look forward to celebrating a year of music with everyone. 

Information is posted on the Shabonee Performing Arts page. This page includes information about our music program, upcoming events throughout the year, and so much more. For evening performances, we also include event parking information.

Take 3 Shabonee Library Books this Summer! (Repost)

All current 3rd-5th grade students can check out up to three books this summer and keep them until school begins in the fall, as long as they do not have any outstanding books or fees. 3rd and 4th grade students will return books to Shabonee, and 5th grade students will return books to Wood Oaks. Mrs. Alexander, Shabonee Librarian, will be talking with the children about this opportunity. Let’s not leave books on the shelves all summer… take them home and read!
