Hunting Ridge Hawk Happenings
June 2022
Finishing Strong
We did it! We had a wonderful end to the school year thanks to so many that made it possible. Our parents and staff members ended the year with some fun for our sixth grade students. Together we were able to give them the gifts of a field trip to Main Event, a staff vs. students softball game, field day and their final walk through the halls of Hunting Ridge. We wish them all the very best in their next steps.
The end of this year sees us wishing Mrs. Sherman the very best in her retirement. Her dedication and work with students, families, student teachers, and staff are cherished and will be missed.
We want to extend a very special thank you to our 6th Grade Committee and to Mrs. Sydor and Mrs. Song for a wonderful yearbook for all of students.
Accessing Report Cards and MAP Scores:
Families can access end of year reports through the parent portal of Infinite Campus for an update to your student's progress.
Visiting the School Office:
Kindly give us a call before coming to the school to make sure that we are in the office to welcome you, 847-963-5300. Summer hours are 7:45-3:45 PM Monday - Thursday.
There are some items that are awaiting pick-up from families located in our doorway, entryway. If parents are picking up Chromebooks, they will need to enter the office for those.
We hope everyone enjoys a relaxing summer. We will see you soon!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ortlund
D15 Online Registration 2022-2023 School Year
Online student registration for the 2022-23 school year is now open. If you have not already started this process for your student(s), please visit our registration page to start this process.
Registration is the first step in getting ready for the up-coming school year. After you register your child online you need to:
Pay student fees. Our student fee webpage outlines the District’s student fee structure and the three ways fees can be paid.
If you have a student that is starting Kindergarten, entering fourth grade, or entering 7th grade, you are required to prove residency in District 15. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency.
All three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year. Students of families that, when required, do not prove residency, will not be able to attend class in a District 15 until the family’s residency is verified.
