Ladd CCSD 94 Weekly Updates
April 25, 2025
We had so much fun celebrating Earth Week this week! Thank you to the Student Council and Mrs. Ribas for organizing all our events. One of my favorite traditions at Ladd School is the Earth Week Fashion Show. Classes work together all week to create innovative fashion designs using only recycled materials. The Student Council members model each class's creation during the fashion show on Friday.
Kindergarten Round-Up
Our Kindergarten Round-Up will be held next week on Thursday, May 1. If you have a kindergartener starting in the fall and have not already done so, please call the school office and sign up for a time slot. Parents will fill out registration paperwork, and students will participate in a screening to gauge their kindergarten readiness skills. Families will be provided with ideas and supplies to support kindergarten readiness skills at home. We are so excited to welcome our future Ladd School Class of 2034!
Parents must bring proof of residency to register. Please check the Registration and Residency page for proof of residency requirements.
Preschool Screening
The next preschool screening will be held on Tuesday, May 13th. All students ages 3 or 4 planning to enter preschool for the first time must participate in a preschool screening prior to registration. If your child plans to attend preschool next year and is turning at least 3 by May 13th, please call the school office and schedule a time at 815-894-2363.
PTO Cares Night
The Ladd PTO is hosting another Cares Night at the Culver's in Peru on April 28th from 5:00-8:00. Come out to Culver's and support Ladd School PTO while enjoying a dinner out with the family! Culver's will donate a portion of the proceeds from every order to the Ladd PTO. See you all there!
