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.
TruGreen will treat the lawns and athletic fields throughout Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 starting July 28, 2020.
Click the links to begin the interest survey in either English or Spanish. This critical information is due no later than July 24, at 5:00 p.m.
Walk in Registration for new students will be held at the District Office (162 S. York Street) on the following dates/times:
Please be aware that social distancing will be adhered to and that masks are required to be worn inside the building.
As adult leaders in District 205, we are fully committed to supporting all of our students regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or ability and to continue providing a learning environment where all students and families feel loved, safe, and respected. Please click to open this message to access helpful resources.
I hope you are safe and staying well amid what can only be described as trying and troubling times. The news of recent days is both disturbing and intolerable. Our District 205 Vision ensures that all students graduate life ready. Life ready graduates in today’s world must embrace tolerance and diversity. Our mission and belief statements articulate our commitment to all students. Today, we reaffirm our vision, mission and beliefs in the wake of the murder of George Floyd which has left the nation hurt, confused, and searching for answers. But, our vision, mission, and beliefs alone will not bring about the changes needed to help our students understand each other or create a culture where colleagues are treated with respect, and where an equitable education is a reality for all of our students regardless of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or ability.
Jaguars we miss you and wish you a great summer!
