If my child is going to be arriving late to school due to an appointment, should I still notify the office?
Yes, we would appreciate the information for our attendance purposes. It is very important for us to account for all students either present or absent.
If my child is leaving early for an appointment, do I need to contact the office prior to my arrival to pick them up?
Yes, please send your child with a note and have them take it to the office in the morning. We will write them a pass to the office and they will be
waiting for you to pick them up.
If I have a question regarding buses, who should I contact?
We are more than happy to help resolve anything that has to do with students on the bus, but the transportation department might be able to better answer your
questions regarding routes….etc. They can be reached at 815-385-6622.
What time does school begin and end each day?
Regular school days begin at 7:35 and dismiss at 2:20.
Early Release days begin at 7:35 and release at 12:35
How do I schedule a parent conference?
Each team meets daily for 45 minutes and they are usually available for parent conferences during that time. You may either email a teacher on the team
directly, or call us and leave a message in their voicemail. They will contact you to schedule the appointment.
Does my child need a physical to participate in sports?
Yes, each student athlete must have a physical on file in the nurse's office for the current school year in order to participate in athletics. 6th Grade students should already have a physical on file to enter Parkland.
Is there an activity bus, and how does it work?
Yes, activity buses pick students up daily at 4:15. They are organized by sections of the city, (North, South, East, West, etc.) and drop students off
close to their normal bus stop.
Is my child allowed to ride a different bus to go home with a friend?
No, it is very important that we are able to safely keep track of all of our student riders from the time they leave Parkland until they get home. It
could potentially create an unsafe situation if a student that the driver does not know rides their bus, in case of an emergency.
If my child is sick, can I arrange for their homework to be sent home for the day?
Yes, homework can be collected for any student that has been absent for 3 consecutive days. Prior to the third absence we encourage you to check the
homework hotline and/or the team's website for homework information.
If my child has lost their agenda, how can they get another one?
We have agenda's for sale in the office for $5 available anytime to students that have lost their agenda.
