The Falcon Flyer - Website Edition

September 26, 2025

Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,

Welcome Autumn! With the crisp air and turning leaves, fall brings excitement to our classrooms and community. Our garden is moving into cool-weather crops, and we continue sharing produce with the North Chicago Community Partners Care Closet. If you have extra produce from your own garden, donations are welcome to be dropped off during the school day on Wednesdays for Thursday delivery to the food pantry.

Fire Safety

Next week, on Monday, K-3 students will take part in a fire safety program geared to their age group. Today our kindergarteners enjoyed a highlight—riding the antique fire truck from the Libertyville Fire Protection District. This annual tradition connects fire safety, community helpers, and local history.

Internet Safety Program

We encourage our parents and the community to join us for an important Internet Safety Program on Thursday October 9th. The presentation by the Lake County Sheriff's Department will be held at Lambs Farm's Magnolia Cafe starting at 6:30 p.m. Please RSVP using the link below to help us prepare for sufficient materials and refreshments. We look forward to seeing you at this important program.

We look forward to kicking off October with another great week of learning at Rondout.

Take care...Until next time...

Stretch your legs and join us for the Rondout Family Fun Run! We will join as a Rondout community and race around the grounds for a 1.5 mile run. We welcome runners/walkers of all abilities and ages, but please be aware that the course will cover both paved and grassy areas.

Join us for a day filled with autumnal delights at the Fall Fun Fest and Halloween Parade on October 31, 2025! This year students may wear their costumes to school. While we encourage students to wear their most creative costumes—just remember, no weapons or violent themes allowed! Students may not bring look-a-like weapons. Masks can only be worn during the parade, and inflatable costumes should be brought to school to be put on at parade time.

We need enthusiastic parent volunteers to help make this day a spooktacular success, so look for the to sign up in next week’s Falcon Flyer! Volunteers are needed throughout the day so we hope you can find a time that works in your schedule. Families are invited to join us for the K-5 parade at 2 p.m., followed by an early 2:30 p.m. dismissal.

Rondout ghouls and goblins in grades K-5 will kick off the morning with a special Magic Show assembly, along with craft stations, spooky stories and a yummy snack to name a few. We’ve got lunch covered with delicious pizza for all students, plus gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. Students may also bring their own lunch if they choose.

In the afternoon, our 6-8 students will join in on the festivities with a pizza lunch and a bowling trip—leaving after lunch and returning by 2:30 p.m. It’s a day of fun for everyone, so mark your calendars and join us for a fun-filled day of community building and enjoyment!
