PTA Popsicle Playdate

Our PTA is again sponsoring a chance to get together before school starts! We hope to see you there!

Highland Construction

Our construction is coming along! When complete, our school will have all new cabinetry in all of the classrooms, new geothermal HVAC, new ceilings, new lockers for the primary hallway, and more! It has been a huge project. We know that the work won't be done until just before school opens and then we will move all of the furniture and materials back in.

If you need to reach the school's office in the meantime, just call our usual number 847-676-5001 and the call will reach us in our temporary space at Devonshire School.
