October is ADHD Awareness Month
ADHD affects millions of children and youth, impacting executive function, emotional regulation, and daily learning. Behind every challenge, however, is a student with unique strengths, creativity, and potential.
Need Support? We’re Here to Help. Our district is partnered with Care Solace to provide complimentary, confidential mental health care coordination for our students, staff, and their families. Together, we can ensure every student receives the understanding, care, and guidance they need to thrive.
Care Solace offers 24/7/365 support to connect you with verified local providers who accept your insurance (including Medicaid) or offer sliding scale rates, specializing in ADHD and youth mental health.
Call: 888-515-0595 (Multilingual support available 24/7/365)

Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) Meeting
We invite you to join us for our Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) meeting on October 21, 2026 6:00PM-7:00PM. We look forward to sharing information about the many supports and services available to our families and gathering your feedback.
We hope you can join us!
Virtual Google Meet:https://meet.google.com/uzi-ifsx-ibb
The purpose of SEAC is to create a platform for families to come together, collaborate, learn, and build connections as a dedicated community focused on special education. If your child(ren) has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), or if you're simply interested in learning more about the special education services provided within Huntley School District 158, we encourage you to attend these quarterly meetings.
Help Us Recycle for Sight!
Huntley School District 158 is excited to once again partner with the Huntley Area Lions Club for the 4th Annual Recycle for Sight Used Eyeglass Collection Drive, taking place at all District 158 schools during the week of October 19-23!
How can you help? Take a few minutes to look through your dresser drawers, closets, and other places where old eyeglasses may be collecting dust. We’re collecting:
Prescription eyeglasses
Prescription sunglasses
Reading eyeglasses
Empty plastic and metal eyeglass frames
Don’t wear them anymore? Donate them and give them a second chance to help someone else see clearly! And don’t forget to ask your friends, neighbors, and family members to join in, too!
Collection Dates: Monday, October 19 – Friday, October 23
Drop-Off Locations: All District 158 schools and the Administration Office
Let’s come together as a community and surpass our record of 282 pairs of eyeglasses collected!
Every pair makes a difference. Thank you for helping us make a difference, one pair at a time!
