New IDPH Guidance - Children who are COVID positive can now return to school after quarantining for 5 days if their symptoms have improved and they can consistently wear a mask. For the next five days after returning, students must remain masked at all times, including outside recess. If your child is in this situation, please prepare him/her for this change.
Covid Positive SHIELD Testing - If your child has tested positive for COVID 19, he/she will not participate in our weekly SHIELD testing for 90 days. If you have questions or concerns, call the health office at 847-824-1462.
Student Masks - Please check to ensure that your child's face mask fits properly before sending him/her to school. Masks should fit snuggly over the nose and under the chin and not hang loosely from the face. Masks are available in the health office if needed.
Free Student Outerwear - We still have quite a few coats, gloves, hats, and scarves available for any of our families in need. Stop by the Cumberland vestibule and feel free to take anything your children may need. These items will be donated after next Friday, February 4.
D62 Online Registration - D62 online registration for all returning and new families will open next Tuesday, February 1. This will include registration for incoming kindergarten students. If you have, or know a family in our attendance area who has a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2022, please complete the online registration process. Click here for instructions and as always call the main office with questions.
Kids Heart Challenge - We are so excited to partner with the American Heart Association to help our students start, and continue to develop, ways to keep their hearts healthy for their whole lives.
