Although we want your pre-k little here at Algonquin as much as possible, we know that Winter brings germs and sickness, and we want everyone to stay healthy!

This is a reminder that families are asked to keep the child home for 72 hours following vomiting, diarrhea, and /or an elevated temperature and to notify the school office as soon as a diagnosis of a communicable disease has been made.

• Please remember that our doors open at 7:50 for AM drop-off. Breakfast is served in the gym from 7:55- 8:15.
• If you arrive to Algonquin later than 8:20 please sign your child into the office.
• If you need Childcare Services to fit your schedule, please contact our Family Engagement Team for resources.
• If you need to pick up your child before the 2:45 dismissal time - call the office before 2:30 PM that day so we can make sure your child is ready and waiting. Every minute of learning counts. so please try to limit early pickup if possible.
• We are building partnerships between school and home so attendance at school is very important. Our goal is to have 95% of our little scholars here every day. If your little can not be in school please call Ms. Lacy at 708-668-9250 to report an absence.
• If you are visiting you will need to sign in at the front office, present an ID for our safety check and wear a visitor lanyard. Visitors are expected to follow the visitor/parent code of conduct in the 24-25 Parent Student Handbook.
• If you need to visit a classroom or teacher, as a courtesy to the teachers ,we ask that you make arrangements at least 24 hours ahead
