FACILITIES AND GROUNDS
While staff and students are on break, the Facilities and Grounds Department will be working hard to perform routine maintenance that cannot be addressed when buildings are bustling with activity.
Our Custodial Staff will be busy tackling the detailing cleaning of all bathrooms, deep cleaning of all classrooms including desks and chairs, and also deep cleaning all of our hallways.
Snow Removal
District 33 hires a subcontractor to plow the parking lots and sidewalks within the school
property, while the custodians maintain the sidewalks during times of light snow and ice.
Please report any areas that need attention to the school office.

Your journey to the North Pole is about to begin! Riders will enjoy a journey to the “North Pole” aboard West Chicago’s own holiday train to pick up Santa.
The ride will be filled with music, stories, snacks, and surprises! Make sure you’re on the nice list, as Santa will be on board to check his list twice and give each child a special gift.

A parent or guardian must accompany the children on the train. The fee is per person. Every adult and child must be pre-registered for this event; space is limited. No at-the-door registrations will be accepted. Register at we-goparks.org/special-events.
