Transportation
A BIG thank you to our transportation team for working so hard to deliver our students to and from school safely and in a timely manner. Thank you to our families for showing patience and understanding as we work through new routes, learn our students' names and help them acclimate to the bus ride. Great job!
Reminder: any changes to your child's transportation now will not go into effect until 9/9.
For further assistance, please call the main Transportation number at 847-856-3644, or email them at trans@dist50.net.
Our Parent Coffee was a Success!
Thank you to Kristen Carruthers, our Kindergarten Family Coordinator, and Lavonna Garner, our At-Risk Facilitator, for hosting this event to bring our families together. It was a great turnout and we hope to host another one to continue to connect our families. If you didn't get a chance to attend this one, we will let you know when our next one will be!
