Student Handbook for the 2025-26 School Year
CLICK HERE for the 2025-26 Student Handbook
Each year, the Student Handbook is updated and provides basic information on important matters such as curriculum, discipline, student health, parent-teacher conferences, and more.
Help your child have a successful school year by becoming familiar with the information in this handbook and discussing it with your child as appropriate.
This handbook is based on Board Policy with relevant policy sections noted in parentheses. Parents are encouraged to review Board Policy, which is provided in a searchable format. The Board of Education reviews and amends its policy regularly; if the policy differs from information in this handbook, Board Policy takes precedence.
*Per the District 41 Board Policy 7:100: Health, Eye, and Dental Examinations; Immunizations; and Exclusion of Students, failure to comply with the above requirements by THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL (AUGUST 27, 2025) will result in the student's exclusion from school.
School Medication: If your child requires medication at school (prescribed or over-the-counter) a School Medication Authorization Form must be completed and signed by your child’s doctor and a parent and turned in to the Health Office. If your child has asthma or allergies, please submit an Action Plan (Asthma Action Plan or Food Allergy Action Plan) completed by their doctor.
