We appreciate the many questions which have been shared regarding our plans for the opening of the 2020-2021 school year. In order to more thoroughly address these, we have prepared a Frequently Asked Questions document.

Glencoe Summer Academy

As we end a school year unlike any other, District 35 is encouraging students and families to develop a weekly summer schedule that will support continued learning in critical math and reading skills.

To support continued learning, we are providing access to an online, adaptive resource called MobyMax that will help Kindergarten through our graduating 8th-grade students to learn and grow over the summer. Detailed information about this resource has been sent to families via email. We also welcome students and families to visit our Glencoe Summer Academy website for ideas on setting weekly routines and additional resources to support continued learning and exploration over the summer.

Playground Reminders for Phase 4

Based on our shift to Phase 4, the State of Illinois has allowed the Park District to open playgrounds. You will notice the new signage at each of our playgrounds. Please take care to use the spaces responsibly and ensure you are mindful of the safety procedures. 

We appreciate your support so we may all do our part to continue with safe options for outdoor play. Thank you!
