Health Office Update End of Year Medication Pick up and Disposal
As we wrap up another school year, all medications and supplies must be picked up from the health office by the end of the school day on Thursday, June 4, 2026
If you have medications in the health office, you will receive an email from the school nurse with detailed instructions regarding pick up.
We do not store any medications over the summer. Any medication remaining after June 4, 2026 will be properly disposed in accordance with Food and Drug Administration Safe Disposal of Medications guidance at the Arlington Heights Police Department.
For any questions, please contact your school nurse.
Online Registration for the 2026-2027 School Year is now Open!
Emails were sent to families last week inviting you to submit your child's 2026-2027 online registration. Please complete your registration as soon as possible so we can plan for the year ahead!
Thank you, PTA for hosting our Culture Arts Assemblies!
