We Need Your Help! (New)
It's enrollment season! As families move into your neighborhood, let them know it's time to register for the 2019/20 school year. It isn't uncommon for families to wait until August. It helps us immensely to secure our classroom sections. New neighbors? Spread the word! Enrollment is happening now. School offices are open through June. Registration will continue through July in the District Office at 1050 Ivy Hall Lane, Buffalo Grove. Also, if you haven't registered your son or daughter and are planning on attending next year, please do so right away. Thank you!

Buffalo Grove, IL 60089

Learning is one of the greatest gifts humans have. Many people become discouraged when they don’t know something. This workshop with returning popular guest speaker Dr. Michael Maniacci for parents of children Grades KDG–8 encourages optimism. The focus is on encouraging your child to love learning and to understand that learning is not the same as knowing.
Dr. Maniacci is a licensed clinical psychologist, instructor, and published author whose works have been translated into numerous languages.
All interested adults are welcome. Contact the District 96 Parent Community Liaison Lubna Andrabi with questions, 847.459.4260, ext. 8136, [email protected]
