A big thank you to all the families who took part in the Dental Clinic! The clinic will be returning to Sunny Hill on Tuesday, February 11th to provide care for more students. If you'd like your child to be seen during this visit, please reach out to the school nurse, Mrs. Molina. Please note that spots are limited.

Do you have a child entering kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year? All eligible children turning five years old before Sept. 1, 2025 need to enroll in kindergarten. We will hold an in-person information session on Monday, Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. Please complete this form by Feb. 1.

We also offer three optional kindergarten programs: Kindergarten Lab Program (K-Lab) at Barrington High School, the Spanish Dual Language Program, and the Chinese Immersion Program. Visit the Kindergarten Information page for program-specific Round-Up dates.

Public Act 102-0321 (Senate Bill 1577) allows students to take up to five mental or behavioral health days per year. A student is not required to provide a medical note and must be given the opportunity to make up any schoolwork missed during such absences. Students are not allowed to call themselves in; a parent must contact the school for the absence to be considered excused. Upon requesting a second mental health day, a Sunny Hill staff member will contact the student’s parent/guardian to discuss the appropriate support services needed for the student.
