Attention Parents - School doors open at 7:30 am. There is no staff supervision prior to this time. Classes start at 7:40 am.
Students who come in late find it harder to establish a good morning routine at school. Teachers are beginning instruction, and a late student is missing out. Thank you for your assistance in making sure your students arrive at school on time!
Each year, families are asked to review the Student & Family Handbook, which outlines important policies, procedures, and expectations for the school year. The 2025–2026 handbook is now available, and all families must acknowledge receipt by signing in to Skyward.
Please log in to Skyward and complete the handbook acknowledgement as soon as possible.
Steps:
1. Once you log into Skyward, you will see a tile with the 2025-2026 District 48 Family and Student Handbook.
2. Click the green Start button.
3. Download the handbook or use this link to preview the handbook.
4. Click "I agree" and sign and date.
If you have any questions or need assistance accessing Skyward, please contact your school office.

Often there are times when our buses are running late. Westway Coach will notify us when there is a delay in time for buses so we can notify our parents of the bus that is running late. Sometimes, a situation can happen when our office is closed, and a parent tries to call us. If this is the case, you may contact Westway Coach at 630-270-2720. Note that our School Office hours are 7:15 to 3:15 Monday through Friday for Salt Creek and Stella May Swartz.
Update Information
It is important that parents keep their information updated in Skyward. If there is an emergency we do not want to have the wrong information. Please contact the proper school your student attends and give them any new information that needs to be changed whether it be for yourself, your spouse, another parent from a different address (we can separate addresses when student's are split between households),update new or old emergency contacts and any phone numbers for anyone on your Skyward parent portal. It is your responsibility to keep us informed. Salt Creek 630-832-6122, Stella May Swartz 630-834-9256 and Albright 630-279-6160.
Call the ABSENTEE LINE when your child is absent ☎️
Please make sure to call the Stella May Swartz Absentee line at 630-834-9256, press 2 if your child will be absent or arriving late. The school office will retrieve these messages every morning. If you have any doctor's notes, please send those with your student for the nurse's office.
*** You must leave a detailed reason for the absence.
A valid cause for absence includes illness (including mental or behavioral health of the student), observance of a religious holiday, death in the immediate family, family emergency, or other situations beyond the control of the student. Remember, if you do not call your student in on the day they are absent with a reason, they will be considered an Unexcused absence.
