Hello 5th Grade Families -
As you know, our 5th grade promotion ceremony will be Tuesday, May 26th at 10:00 in the auditorium. We are excited for a wonderful time, please review the following guidelines:
- Please limit your attendance to 2 guests per graduate if at all possible.
- If you must bring more than 2 guests to the ceremony, please call Ms. Hopson at the school to let us know in advance. We need to ensure that we have enough seats for our graduates. Failure to alert us ahead of time may result in standing room only seating, which we are trying to avoid.
- Balloon bouquets are not allowed at District 186 graduation ceremonies.
- Siblings that attend Dubois will remain in their classrooms during the ceremony.
See you on Tuesday!

Dubois Elementary's very own Ms. Antonacci has won the District 186 Rising Star Award! We are SO proud of you!
After receiving many nominations from the community, coworkers, and students, a committee made up of community partners selected this year’s honorees. Superintendent Jennifer Gill, along with Katie Hageman-Hageman Family Insurance and her team, and Horace Mann had the special opportunity to surprise each winner with a banner for their classroom door and a basket of goodies, making the moment even more memorable.

Congratulations to Hanaya from 2nd grade for representing Dubois at the district's annual visual art fair! Her artwork was chosen by Ms. Marcy for its creativity and artistic skill. Way to go Hanaya!
Testing for all grades continues on March 10th, 11th, & 12th.
Additionally, 5th graders will be completing the science assessment on Friday morning.
It is very important that students are not only at school each day but are also at school on time. Once testing begins, students will not be allowed to enter their classrooms, which means they will have to test later in an unfamiliar environment. We want our Dragons to do their absolute best!
So, we need to see them bright and early BEFORE 8:30 each morning!
We need students to be in 100% attendance and on time each day of testing.
Lastly, please help your students BREATHE each day of testing:
Breathe deeply.
Rest well the night before.
Eat a healthy breakfast.
Always read the test directions.
Take your time. No need to rush. (Students will be rewarded for not rushing through the test).
Have confidence in yourself to do your very best.
Energize by stretching during breaks.
Thank you for your continued support!
