End-of-Year Medication Pick-up (New)

Please be reminded that no medications will be sent home with students. This includes all prescriptions and nonprescription medication. If you wish to have your child's medication, please come to the health office the last week of school to pick up the medication. Any medication not picked up by the last day of school, will be destroyed in accordance with District 96 policy.

Please remember to complete a new MEDICATION AUTHORIZATION FORM for the coming year if your child will need medication at school, including the allergy action plan, if applicable. Forms can be found on the District 96 website. If you have any questions, please contact the Ivy Hall building nurse, Mrs. Adinolfi.

Summer Area Opportunities in STEM (New)

For families interested in learning about STEM-related summer opportunities in the area, see Chicago-area STEM Camp Guide – Summer 2019.

2019 SUMMER READING/ASSIGNMENT–Remember to Read! (New)

We encourage summer reading for all our students. This practice is important–research suggests that students can lose more than two months of academic progress if they don't continue to read during summer months.

Please see SUMMER READING for the parent letter/reading assignment info and suggested reading resources for your student (by grade level).

Yearbooks (New)

If you purchased a yearbook, yearbooks will be distributed on Thursday, May 30, 2019. There are a limited amount of extra yearbooks that were ordered in reserve. These yearbooks can be purchased for $24.00 from the main office on May 30, 2019. Supplies are limited, once they are gone, they are gone (first come, first serve). If you have questions please email Mel Gurel: [email protected].

Field Day (New)

On Wednesday May 22, 2019 our students participated in field day. Our physical education put together several rounds of fun and physical activities. We were able to accomplish field day in spite of our fields being muddy. The team worked to have a hybrid of indoor and outdoor events. Outdoor events took place on the black top. I would like to thank all the students and staff that worked to make field day a success.

We Need Your Help! (Repeat)

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!
