Perseverance

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.

Calling all D220 incoming Kindergarten and First Grade families! Please join us on Thursday, February 6th at 6:00pm - 7:00pm at Countryside Elementary to learn more about the Chinese Immersion program. You will learn details about the curriculum and hear from parents with students in the program. Please reach out to Erin Lales (erin.v.lales@gmail.com) with questions.

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.
