Huntley 158's 2025-2026 Yearly Calendar is now live. As you plan for vacations for next school year, please review the dates so you know when we are in session!

We are currently exceeding our goal of decreasing our chronic absenteeism to 10% or less! Way to go, Conley!

As we launch the second half of the school year, we’d like to thank our families for partnering with us to help improve student attendance which, in turn, improves student learning. Some positive trends have emerged districtwide and we'd like to share these with you! This chart shows an overall increase districtwide in the number of students with no absences and a decrease in chronic absenteeism. This trend is worth noting and celebrating and we have you to thank for that! We invite you to follow our school’s attendance updates on our attendance dashboard. You’ll find this on our website under the Students & Families tab.

The Huntley 158 Virtual Bulletin Board (VBB) is a way to connect Huntley 158 families with enrichment and educational events and programs in the community.
