Kindergarten Round-Up is Monday, February 3!

Do you have a child entering kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year? All eligible children turning five years old before Sept. 1, 2025 need to enroll in kindergarten. We will hold an in-person information session on Monday, Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. Please complete this form by Feb. 1.


We also offer three optional kindergarten programs: Kindergarten Lab Program (K-Lab) at Barrington High School, the Spanish Dual Language Program, and the Chinese Immersion Program. Visit the Kindergarten Information page for program-specific Round-Up dates.

Save the Date: K-5 Family STEM Event

All K-5 students are invited to our Maker Madness Family STEM Event on Saturday, Feb. 8! We invite your entire family to come and enjoy self-paced activities for students in grades K-5. Activities include: making buttons with the Barrington Area Library, building the tallest paper towers, engineering a safe landing device, and using some of our STEM tools to design, build, and test a grabbing "claw" device. This event will be held at Prairie Campus. To maximize participation, we are hosting two sessions for this event:


  • Session I: 1:00-2:30 PM
  • Session II: 3:00-4:30 PM



A sign-up will go out to families after winter break and it will be first come first serve.

Chinese Immersion Kindergarten Information Night

Calling all D220 incoming Kindergarten and First Grade families! Please join us on Thursday, February 6th at 6:00pm - 7:00pm at Countryside Elementary to learn more about the Chinese Immersion program. You will learn details about the curriculum and hear from parents with students in the program. Please reach out to Erin Lales (erin.v.lales@gmail.com) with questions.

Mental Health Days

Public Act 102-0321 (Senate Bill 1577) allows students to take up to five mental or behavioral health days per year. A student is not required to provide a medical note and must be given the opportunity to make up any schoolwork missed during such absences. Students are not allowed to call themselves in; a parent must contact the school for the absence to be considered excused. Upon requesting a second mental health day, a Sunny Hill staff member will contact the student’s parent/guardian to discuss the appropriate support services needed for the student.
