Extended Day Sign Up
2:00 (Primary Dismissal)/ 2:15 (Middle Dismissal) until 3:15. Students will be kept in cohort groupings with an opportunity to finish up homework, extra recess (if weather permits), or read. We ask that families who can not pick up at normal dismissal time choose this option. Please fill out one form per family, only if needed!
Before & After Care Sign Up
Montini offers a Before & After Care service to our families at the Primary Building every full day of school from 6:30- 8:15 and 3:12- 6 p.m for an additional fee. Each family that signs up will be assessed a $25 family fee on your SmartTuition account per year. Before Care is $12/day and After Care is $14/day, additional child discounts will be applied. Due to COVID-19 students who attend will be kept in small cohort groups according to homerooms. Students who attend the Middle School will be walked over daily or driven by Principals/Office Managers if poor weather occurs.
Please fill out one form per family! Note that your SmartTuition account will be charged the following month for the days that you mark on this form. Drop-ins are available if space allows, please call the Primary office to check availability, 815-385-5380.

Preschool
It is with a heavy heart that I announce Mrs. Aalto will not be with us this year. Her children attend school in another district that has decided to go to virtual learning and she will be home with them. We will surely miss her this year, but understand that family comes first! We are currently on the search for the right person to fill her shoes, as soon as a decision is made we will share the new teacher's information!
More information will be coming from your child's teacher soon about supplies and the first day of school.
