Big Hollow School District Mission and Vision
Our Vision "Big Hollow School District #38 will be a model of student achievement for elementary school districts in the State of Illinois."
Our Mission "Inspiring a diverse school community to be passionate and empathetic learners."
Attendance Information and New Policy
With the conclusion of the summer drawing near, we felt that it is important to bring attention to a change in our attendance procedures for the 2017-2018 school year. The procedures were approved in August, and will begin guiding our practice as of August 22, 2017.
It is our goal to work with families to support this very important aspect of growth and learning. As we head into the new school year, please stay in contact with us for continued support in all areas, including ensuring your child is in attendance.
Our team is aware that many families may have questions. Please click HERE to find the attendance policy guidelines. Our goal is to work with you to determine how we may best support your family during this school year.
Busing Information
We are looking forward to another great school year!
