As part of our commitment to fostering a focused learning environment, we are introducing updated classroom checkout policies to monitor and minimize time spent out of class. Starting this week, students will use a sign-out system when leaving the classroom for any reason, noting the time and destination. They will scan a QR code, and submit a 2 question google form. This will help us ensure students are accountable for their time and maximize their instructional minutes. This, in no way, prevents students from leaving as needed, but helps us to better understand how students are using their time. We do have a small number of students who are leaving class beyond normal limits, and we may reach out to advise you if your child is missing more than expected. If a child leaves 10 times in a week, that's equal to missing a full period of learning! We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of staying engaged in learning and will be working with students to adjust to these new procedures smoothly. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

As cold weather makes its way to our area, I would like to share a reminder of our morning routine at Station Campus. School doors open at 8:25 AM daily. Please note that there is no supervision provided before this time, and with colder temperatures ahead, we want to encourage you to arrive no earlier than that time. As with all matters, we value your help to ensure the safety and well-being of our students.

If you plan to pick up your child up early from school, we ask that you please put in an Absence Request in the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus. When you arrive to pick up your child, please come to the front door with your cell phone. Ms. Jarva or Ms. Alters will buzz you in and you will scan a QR code (located on table near front door) that is linked to a sign-out form that you complete while you wait for your child to come down from class. Please note, only individuals listed on Infinite Campus (IC) will be allowed to pick up your child. If you need assistance with the parent portal, please contact the Infinite Campus Hotline at (847)-842 3580.

Thank you!

In our district’s continued effort to keep our students and staff safe, remember to bring your driver’s license or state ID when you come to visit/volunteer at Station. The reason for this is we run your ID through our sex offender background check system. After your ID is scanned, you will be issued a visitor lanyard and visitor sticker before being admitted into the building. Every D220 school follows these procedures. For the safety of our students, there are no exceptions.
