CALL THE ABSENTEE LINE WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT ☎️
Please make sure to call the Stella May Swartz Absentee line at 630-834-9256, press 2 if your child will be absent or arriving late. The school office will retrieve these messages every morning. If you have any doctor's notes, please send those with your student for the nurse's office.
*** You must leave a detailed reason of the absence.
A valid cause for absence includes illness (including mental or behavioral health of the student), observance of a religious holiday, death in the immediate family, family emergency, other situations beyond the control of the student. Remember if you do not call your student in on the day they are absent with a reason, they will be considered an Unexcused absence.
Your child must stay home from school if they are experiencing any of the below:
● Fever (100.4℉ or higher) ● Diarrhea
● New onset of moderate to severe headache ● New loss of taste or smell
● Shortness of breath ● Fatigue from an unknown cause
● New cough ● Muscle or body aches from an unknown cause
● Sore throat. ● Body rash with itching and/or a fever
● Vomiting ● Eye infection/red irritated eyes
Your child is ok to return to school once:
● For body rash: absence of skin rash/irritation
● For eye infection: 24 hours after starting antibiotic eye drops/ointment
● All other symptoms mentioned above: once cleared by the school nurse to return (must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication, and no vomiting or diarrhea for at least 24 hours)

We are implementing a change in our cell phone policy to prioritize student learning and well-being. Recent studies indicate that teens receive an overwhelming number of notifications daily, disrupting their academic focus and impacting their social-emotional health. The Surgeon General echoes these concerns. While our school board policy has always prohibited cell phones, smartwatches, and Bluetooth earbuds during school hours, we are now requiring that all phones and smartwatches be stored in student lockers throughout the day. We understand the importance of communication and we have installed phones in every classroom for emergencies.
We will allow our students to make calls to their family when necessary and you can always call our office to relay any messages to your child. Your partnership in supporting this change is crucial to creating a safe and focused learning environment for our students.
