Absence Information & Reporting Absence Information & Reporting

Regular attendance at school is an essential part of each student’s educational experience in District 25. If your child will be absent, we ask that you report the absence using the method designated for your school, listed below.


Please notify the office if your child is absent, late, or leaving early:

  • Google Form

  • Attendance Hotline: 847‑398‑4275 (press 1 & leave a message)

  • Email: ihoffice@sd25.org


If the school office has not been notified of a child’s absence by 9:05 a.m., the school will contact the parent/guardian. If they cannot be reached, the school will attempt to contact the emergency contacts listed on the student’s emergency form (included in the registration packet).


These procedures are in place to ensure families are informed each day and that all students are accounted for and safe.

Land of Smiles Assembly Land of Smiles Assembly

Smiles were everywhere as our Kindergarten–3rd grade students enjoyed the Land of Smiles Assembly!


Through fun activities and kid-friendly lessons, students learned how to take care of their teeth and why brushing, flossing, and regular dental care are so important.


Lots of learning, lots of laughter, and lots of happy smiles — check out the photos below!

Gym & Recess Participation Guidelines Gym & Recess Participation Guidelines

Excusing Children from PE - Physical Education

Parents may request that their child be excused from Physical Education for one day due to a medical reason. Any absence beyond one day requires a physician’s note.

For elementary students, physician orders must clearly state any restrictions for both Physical Education and Recess. Students who are unable to participate in Physical Education may not participate in school-sponsored sports during that time.

Excusing Children from Outdoor Activities / Recess

Elementary students regularly participate in outdoor activities during Physical Education classes, daily recess, and the lunch period. For the safety of all students, children are expected to go outside during these times unless there is a documented medical reason. If your child needs to remain indoors, a physician’s note is required that specifically states the outdoor restriction.
