Critical Information

Our teachers need your child's pick up information. Please share with them whether your child is a parent pick up, walker, turnabout pick up, Boys & Girls club or older sibling picking up.

If you are driving your child to or from school, you must use the turnabout on Streamwood Boulevard. Drivers must stay in their cars. Staff will escort your child to their line up location. There is no parking in the turnabout.

** In order for our process to work, it takes patience. **

U-46 Bond Proposal on April 4 ballot

This spring, community members in U-46 will be asked to vote on a zero-tax-rate-change bond proposal that, if approved by voters, will enhance the quality of our school buildings by making them safer and by improving classrooms. Good schools help protect the investment in our homes and in our communities. And we can do this without increasing our District’s property tax rate. You can find more information at u-46.org/bondproposal.

U-46 STEM Expo--April 29

The STEM expo is an opportunity for k-12 students to explore and discover science. To participate, register before April 1, 2023. Click here to check out this opportunity.

District Parent Cafes in Spanish

The U-46 Family Welcome Center hosts “Parent Cafes” regularly at schools throughout the District. During these cafes, parents have the opportunity to talk with other caregivers about the challenges and rewards of raising a family. They also learn about five “protective factors” — such as social connections and knowledge of parenting — that have been shown to keep children safe and families strong.

For a complete schedule, click here.
