Culver Update - 5/31/24

Working with children is a gift, and we are honored to have worked with wonderful young people this year. Thank you, Culver families, for all your support, trust, and care this school year. We are all fortunate to be part of this community! 

Have a wonderful summer! 

Are You Moving Or Is Your Child Transferring?

If your family is moving out of district or if your child is going to a different school next year, please contact either Mrs. Johnson or Mrs. Keith in the front office so we can prepare the appropriate paperwork for you. You can reach them by phone at 847-966-9280 or at ckeith@niles71.org and ljohnson@niles71.org.

Residency and Registration Dates

As always, we will hold our Residency and Registration Dates in late July or early August. Please keep an eye out for an email as all families need to prove residency and re-register the students for the upcoming school year.

Summer Hours

During the summer, the Culver office is open 8:00-noon Monday through Thursday.

Niles Family Services Event

Niles Family Services is hosting a Summer Bash event on Saturday, June 15, 2024, at 11 am, featuring summer clothing, free food, games/activities, and community vendors. Please see the flyer for details. 

Future School Calendars

Due to construction, school is scheduled to begin one week later, come fall. Our schedule will return to normal the following school year. Please see our next year and tentative 2025-2026 calendars on our website.

Absence Reporting and Tardiness

As a reminder, if you need to report a student absence, please call our attendance line at 847-966-9280 ext 1118.  As a matter of safety, please notify the school of absences in advance of the school day.  If a student is absent and we are not aware of the reason for the absence, our school nurse, Mrs. Morrissey, will be contacting the parent(s) and/or guardian(s).  

Additionally, please make every attempt to have your child to school on time.  Student late arrivals to the classroom are disruptive and delays the educational process.  We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Kindergarten Registration for 2024-2025

Registration for incoming kindergarten students begins on Thursday, February 1st. All students who will be 5 years old by September 1, 2024, are kindergarten students.
