However, please refrain from sending a full lunch with your child. In addition, we are requesting that students refrain from bringing any tree nut/peanut products to Summer School, including peanut butter sandwiches, granola bars, trail mix, etc. Students will be invited to have their snacks at the start of their Period 4 class.

In the event your child will be absent for an extended period of time, please email the staff in advance.

Consistent with previous years, we are partnering with the YMCA & Northbrook Park District who both offer summer camps that provide transportation for students after summer school. The YMCA picks up students after 3rd period, and the Northbrook Park District picks up students after 3rd & 4th periods, at both locations. If you register your child for the YMCA or Northbrook Park District camp, please alert their staff during registration that your child is also registered for the District 28 Summer School and will need transportation. 

No, there are no bus services for our traditional summer school program.
