Half Day

Students take a few minutes out of their day to relax and enjoy a good book. Teachers encourage students to read at home for 30 minutes a day.

"Studies have shown that 20 minutes of reading is beneficial, but 30 minutes is ideal for developing comprehension skills and stamina," said Library Media Specialist Rebecca McGinnis. Read more in this Scholastic Parents article.

It is very important for D103 families to alert their child’s school nurse if a child requires medication at school or has allergies. Medication and management forms must be turned into your child’s school in case of an emergency. Nurses require new action plans annually.

Medication should be turned into the school nurse by an adult. Medication is picked up at the end of the school year or the school will properly dispose of unclaimed medication.

Please send your forms to your school nurse through one of the following methods.

• Fax to: Please fax all medical documents to our secured fax location at 847-821-0210. Please include a cover letter with your name and phone number, your child's name, grade level, school, and "Attn: Nurse". For your convenience, please use our medical cover letter when faxing.

• Mail to: Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 Attn: Nurse, 111 Barclay Blvd. Suite 100, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
