Cough drops are not allowed at school. They can be kept in the health office for your student with the following three steps:

• Cough drops need to be dropped off by a parent; they cannot be sent in a student's backpack

• Cough drops need to be in an unopened package, not just individually wrapped drops

• The district medication authorization form completed by parent and doctor, not a doctor's note

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Genualdi, at kgenualdi@sd25.org.

Thanks to generous community donations, Wheeling Township offers seasonal support programs for eligible local residents:

• Thanksgiving Meals: Food pantry recipients receive a complete Thanksgiving dinner in November, including turkey and all the traditional fixings.
• Adopt-A-Family Program: Each holiday season, donors are matched with low-income families using their wish lists to provide gifts of clothing and toys.

Financial eligibility requirements apply. To apply for assistance or become a donor, please reach out to the General Assistance Office at 847-259-7730 or email ksabbini@wheelingtownship.com.

Please check out our Community Supports section of our website to find out more information about the Adopt a Family Program through Wheeling Township.

We will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30th. All grade levels will have lunch/recess from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. Many parents take their children home for lunch on Halloween. If you plan to take your child home, please complete this form by October 26th. This will help us plan for the number of students going home or staying for lunch at school.

Thank you for your help!
