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.

Reminder--The staff parking lot is for staff. No parent parking or drop off is allowed.

We encourage all our parents to walk their child to school on the first days to see the traffic and better understand how drop off and pick up work.

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

--If we missed you, your teacher's name is located in Infinite Campus

The only thing to purchase is a backpack! (If you are in need of a backpack, please contact the main office.)

We also encourage a water bottle with their name on it

Per School Board Policy 7.100, all students will be compliant with State law-required health examinations and immunizations on the first day of school. Students who are non-compliant in their physical and immunization requirements will not be allowed to attend school until state compliance is met.

(Note: Vision exams for Kindergarten are required by Oct. 15, 2022. Dental exams for Kindergarten, 2nd, 6th and 9th grade are due by May 15, 2023.)
