Please ensure your child’s ID is attached to their backpack using the clear case and red coil key chain provided. If the ID, clear case, or key chain is lost and needs to be replaced, fees will be added to your child’s Infinite Campus account. Payments can be made conveniently through the Parent Portal.

Read how we assess our students throughout our district in this Assessment Letter.

Develop a library

When little ones have their own shelf of books, they are more excited to read and engage in the bedtime routine. Designate a bookshelf for them to start collecting books. Then, they will look forward to the 7:30pm routine of bath, books, and bed.

We make it easy for you to discuss respect at home. Just print the following document to support conversations at home about respect.

I hope everyone is having a great start to the school year. Just a friendly reminder - I'm at Sunny Hill on Wednesdays. If you'd like to schedule an in-person meeting, please call 847-842-3565.

Your participation is crucial to your student's success.

Below are some examples of how I can support you, including, but not limited to:

- One-on-one assistance navigating district platforms, apps, etc.;

- Connecting you with community resources;

- Discussing how you can be more involved in your child's education and much more!

Sincerely,

Ruth Estrada

Schools are required by law to make and follow accommodations when a doctor diagnosis a student. These tests can be expensive. However FREE neuropsychological evaluations are available for students who need it, live in Kane County, and are income eligible. Neuropsychological evaluations can cost families thousands of dollars. These evaluations can provide valuable insights into a student’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to better support their academic and personal success.
