Self Certification Reminder

Lincoln Updated Covid Parent Handbook 

The start of the school year has been stressful for many families as parents struggle to balance work with remote and hybrid learning. Staff at the Elmhurst Park District and Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 have been working behind the scenes for weeks to come up with the best solution to help as many families as possible during this tough transition. 

Club Ed. is a new program for children K-5 that will offer a convenient, self-directed E-Learning opportunity at various D205 and Park District locations. This program will provide a structured schedule that alternates designated time for self-directed E-Learning and recreational activities including indoor/outdoor games, arts and crafts. Children will be in a group of 15 participants or less in a format that meets all CDC health and safety guidelines. Face coverings will be required at all times except while eating.

Thank you to all who attended Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205’s virtual meeting regarding proposed designs for Lincoln Elementary School on Wednesday, August 19, 2020. If you were unable to attend the meeting in person, it can be viewed in full here. Thank you! 

Thank you for your patience as the D205 Facilities Department continues to work with ComEd to restore power to several school buildings following Monday’s severe weather. The anticipated date for full restoration of power is by 3 p.m. on Aug. 15, 2020.

The following campuses are still without electricity:

• Edison Elementary School
• Sandburg Middle School
• Churchville Middle School

Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 invites you to attend a virtual meeting regarding our proposed designs for Lincoln Elementary School. The proposed project involves building a new school on the existing site and is part of the District’s ongoing communication efforts as well as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) process with the City of Elmhurst.

The Main Office at each school will be open and available to complete registration starting on Wednesday, August 5th, during normal school hours. Registration documents and procedures can be found by clicking the following link for Registration Information. For further details, click on the various tabs on the right-hand side under the “Student Registration” tab.

Since sending the survey July 17, people have reached out with requests for additional information to help them determine the best decision for their children. Therefore, we are including two additional pieces of information in this communication, which we hope will be helpful and have extended the deadline for responding to July 31 at 5 p.m. All responses will be considered final at that time, and you will receive an email from D205 confirming your submission after the results have been reviewed.
