Gearing Up for the School Year!

Friday, August 9, 2019

Dear Families, 

We are truly gearing up for the opening of the school year! 

Here is key information for BACK TO SCHOOL in District 114...

If you haven't already done so, please register your children for the new school year. Go to www.d114.org and follow the links to complete the online registration process. All new families MUST provide required documentation. 

Thank you!

Thank you, 5th grade families, for making sure to prove residency for your children as they start at Stanton! Residency must be proven for your student to attend the 5^th grade Meet and Greet event on August 15^th and to attend Stanton for the 2019-20 school year. 

Please stop by the Stanton office between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday and bring your residency documents with you.  For a list of required documentation, please refer to our D114.org website under the Parent tab: Forms: Residency Guidelines.

If you have any questions or if your child will not be attending Stanton this year, please contact the office at 847-973-4200.

Student Safety Keys

For the safety of our students, please:

• Please be patient with routes at the beginning of the year. As we work out the logistics, it may take a bit longer to get from place to place. 
• All Preschool and Kindergarten students MUST be met at their end of day stop by an adult. This is strictly for student safety. Drivers will wait 2 minutes at a stop for an adult to greet these little ones. If an adult does not come to meet the child, he/she will be taken back to Lotus for family/emergency contact pick up. 
• Students will be brought back to their home school if, at the end of the route, they are still on the bus. Family members/emergency contacts will be called for pick up. 
• Students will have assigned seats on the bus. This leads to a more pleasant--and safe--ride for everyone!
• If you choose to drive your child to/from school, please follow traffic patterns in each parking lot.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and partnership!

Breakfast and Lunch Are FREE!
Please remember that, beginning with this school year, D114 is part of the Federal Community Eligibility Provision (or CEP), meaning that ALL students have access to free lunch and breakfast. The district is reimbursed by the federal government for costs, and this makes breakfast and lunch one less thing for our families to worry about. Students can still bring a lunch if they choose. but the school offered lunch is free to everyone.
