Please contact the Dundee Township Park District if you are considering enrolling your child in Circle of Friends Aftercare. Here is a link to their website. If your child attends the Circle of Friends Aftercare Program and there is a change in your child’s dismissal plan, be sure to notify BOTH our school office and the Dundee Township Park District.

On District 300 Late Start Days students will start class at 10:00 am. This will allows for teacher professional development in the morning. Late Start bell times and dates can be found here.

Be sure your child is ready for the first day of school! You can access supply lists for all grade levels here. Please scroll down to Sleepy Hollow Elementary School and select the grade level of your student to access his or her list.

Classroom assignments are now available! Thank you for referencing the D300 Back to School Communication for directions on how to access this information on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Student schedules can only be viewed using PowerSchool. Parents/guardians must set up a PowerSchool Parent Portal account to view student schedules. Parents should have received information about how to log into PowerSchool from our school registrar. If you do not have this information, please contact our school registrar, Natalie Chapa at Natalie.Chapa@d300.org or by phone 224-484-4900.

After an account has been created, parents/guardians can access their student’s schedule for the 2026-2027 school year. For information on how to view your student’s schedule, please view the following step-by-step tutorial.

If your child is assigned to a bus, information is available in the PowerSchool SIS Parent Portal. Thank you for referencing the D300 Back to School Communication for all busing information.

We love sharing the excitement and memory-making opportunities that come with the first day of school in a new grade. We also know the importance of setting strong, efficient routines starting on day one. With that in mind, thank you for reading and reviewing our arrival and dismissal procedures linked and outlined below. Assure your child(ren) that staff will be outside and inside of the building to assist with locating their classrooms. Please direct them to look for an adult with a balloon for any help.

All students, regardless of transportation plan, enter our school through Door 1 (the SHES main entrance). K-2 grade students will be directed to the cafeteria and 3-5 grade students will pass through the gym to head to the Rocky Road hallway. Kindly note, only students will be allowed into the building during arrival.

SHES drop off and pick up procedures are linked here. Thank you for taking the time to review these procedures prior to the first day of school.

Our front parking lot is reserved for buses. Students may only ride as passengers to their assigned bus routes. Students with play dates or alternative dismissal plans are not able to travel via bus on a different bus route. It is unlawful to drive past our parked buses during arrival and dismissal as they have their stop signs displayed. Thank you for your patience and understanding to prioritize safety each day.

If you choose to drive your child, please use the side parking lot. Thank you for waiting in the brief line to either use our "kiss and go" lane or park in an open spot. If you do plan to exit your vehicle and meet your child on the property, we ask that you walk to end of the parking lot first and avoid cutting through the car lanes. We want to keep everyone safe! You may park and walk your child to the door but parents/guardians are not allowed to enter the building. Students are expected to dismiss directly to their dismissal plan. We appreciate our community's support in ensuring that students refrain from playing in separation of their pick-up designee so that we can safely release students after each school day.

Thank you for also being mindful and careful of community members when driving students to and from school. It is critical that the speed limit is maintained to keep pedestrians safe as many travel on foot on the edge of our streets surrounding our school. In order to assure student health and safety, animals are not allowed on school property, except in the case of a service animal accompanying an individual with a documented disability. Thank you for your help in ensuring student safety and well being with this expectation, especially during our arrival and dismissal times.

Please let your child(ren) and the classroom teacher know how your child(ren) will be getting home from school prior to the start of the first day. Throughout the school year should there be a change in your child(ren)'s dismissal plan, we ask that you contact our main office and the classroom teacher.

PushCoin is used to pay student fees and meal purchases. Make sure that you set up a PushCoin account if your child would like to purchase meals beginning the first day of school. You can set up an account and manage your child’s balance by clicking the icon at https://www.d300.org/parents.

Free and reduced lunch applications are available on the district website at https://www.d300.org/parents. Remember, you must reapply every year!

Deadline to provide required health documents or proof of upcoming appointments to your student’s school nurse or via email to health.forms@d300.org. Please submit the completed forms as soon as possible, so staff can verify they are complete and meet state requirements.

New families and incoming kindergarten families, please make sure your health forms are submitted prior to the first day of school. Kindergarten students are required to have a current physical examination completed on the approved Illinois Department of Public Health Form. Your child can have medication administered by the school nurse once an Authorization for the Administration of Medication at School is completed by a physician. A child cannot bring any medication to school, including over the counter medication, without the form on file. Click here for additional information on School Health Requirements and the required forms.

Students are invited to bring their supplies on the first day of school or they can drop off their supplies at our Supply Drop Off on Thursday, August 6 from 3:00 pm until 4:00 pm. Students accompanied by an adult are free to come in the building at a time that is convenient during this Supply Drop Off window.

Please note, families who were not able to pick up the 25-26 yearbook from the SHES PTC last week will have another opportunity during Supply Drop Off!
