Each school invites families and students to visit the building, drop off supplies, and kick off the school year!

All students entering early childhood, kindergarten, sixth grade, and ninth grade are required to have a current physical examination completed on the approved Illinois Department of Public Health Form. A sports physical does not meet this requirement. A current physical is one that was completed within one calendar year of the current school year.
