Student Absences

We believe that attendance in school is critically important for student success. If your child is ill, we ask that you call (847)357-5602 by 8:30 AM to report their absence.

Please call each day that your child will be absent. Be prepared with:

  • The child’s name
  • Room number
  • Your name
  • Your relationship to the child
  • Reason for absence
