ACADEMIC SUPPORT
We have Academic Support now open for students to attend during their lunch time and after school. It is a place where students can attend and receive help with their school work as well as having a quiet space to work. If you are interested in your student attending either lunch and/or after school please email Stacy Spiropoulos at Spiropoa@ccsd15.net or call at 847.963.7400 ext. 7540.
Extra-Curriculars
Additionally, please know that attendance at away District 15 sporting events is only allowed with the presence of an adult. We also encourage adult chaperones at Palatine HS events, including football games.

- Use school-appropriate language
- Don’t say anything to the refs - good or bad
- No Cell phones Allowed - used with supervisor permission only.
Leadership
- Make Winston proud; the choices you make should support our teams, but it should do so positively.
Safety
- Follow directions given to you by staff supervisors.

If you have any questions during the event, please ask a supervisor!
