Families who are not residents of District 95 will be able to register for a limited number of courses at the high school level from May 1, 2024 - May 17, 2024. Registration will be conducted exclusively through ParentVue, accessible via the district website (www.lz95.org) including for non-District 95 families.

Thank you for responding to our request for feedback on the 5Essentials Survey. I am happy to report that we reached 27% for our parent feedback! This reached the threshold to receive feedback when the report is released later this year.

Our SL community is the BEST!

The Lake Zurich High School National Honors Society is thrilled to announce the upcoming "Cars for Cause" car show happening right here at Lake Zurich High School on Sunday, April 21st at 10am-2pm. Join us for a day filled with incredible cars, donuts, and coffee all in support of Lurie’s Children’s Hospital. Admission is free, and if you have a special car to showcase, register or donate at https://www.cars-for-cause.com.

Each month, District 95 asks every building to select a student who represents our District Values of collaboration, continuous improvement, equity, high expectations, integrity, perseverance, and respect. For the month of March, Spencer Loomis chose Third Grader, Livia F.

Livia walks into our classroom with a smile each day. She puts her best effort into everything she does. She takes feedback very well and works hard to improve her work however she can. Livia is a friend to everyone- whether it is walking a sick student to the nurse, or helping a friend solve a tricky problem, I can always count on her. Livia spreads kindness at recess. She has great school spirit and reminds me to do our classroom dance party before we go home each Friday. Livia makes our classroom a happy place and encourages everyone to be their best selves!
