Please make sure your child is coming with headphones everyday. They use them daily for Lexia and other academic tasks.

Huntley 158 looks forward to expanding food service options to include breakfast at Conley starting Tuesday, September 3. Breakfast will be a cold grab-and-go breakfast kit (cereal bar or bowl of cereal, additional grain and fruit juice), white milk and fresh fruit. Cost is $1.75 (regular) or $.30 (reduced) or free for qualifying students. Breakfast is optional for all students and will be served daily in the cafeteria from 8:20 am - 8:35 am. Items will not go back to classrooms out of respect of student allergies.

FAQ about our breakfast service

Broadcast Club is a newscast created by Conley 5th grade students. Broadcast Club will meet on Wednesday afternoons from 3:25 - 4:00, but your child will only be assigned to attend when their class is recording. A schedule will be sent to parents and students at the beginning of the school year. Email reminders will be sent home prior to the broadcast so you are aware and reminded that your child will be staying after school. Your child will sign up for segments, camera work, or interviews.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Mrs. Golyshko at cgolyshko@district158.org. This sign-up will close on September 5th.

In the next month, teachers will be completing our Satchel Pulse social-emotional screener. This will happen twice this year.

Dismissal changes must be made by 2:30pm.

If we do not receive notification that your child is a car rider by 2:30pm, we will not remove them from the bus. Please let classroom teachers know if you plan to pick up your student so we have documentation. We really appreciate it!

If your child will be absent because of illness, you are required to call the school by the beginning of the school day and report the absence each day. If your child is absent and we do not receive a call, we will call you at home or your place of employment to verify the absence. The purpose of this procedure is to determine if your child has arrived safely to school.

During a long-term illness, a parent may call on the first day and notify the office of the anticipated length of the absence. After three consecutive days of illness, a written excuse from a doctor is required for an absence to be considered excused. A doctor’s note and/or school health office verification will change the absence code to “Medical Verification” for attendance purposes. If a pattern of non-attendance has been established by the building administrator, a written excuse from a doctor and/or school health office verification of illness may be required as part of a student’s individualized attendance plan.
