2024-25 Map My School Tool
District 15 is excited to share its new Map My School Tool which allows families to type in their home address to see where their "home school" assignment is on the updated boundary map.
*Please keep in mind that the Map My Schools Tool may not reflect school assignments due to programmatic placement. To view the full list of schols by bus tier, along with the programmatic placement at each school, click on the Bus Tiers and Program Placements tab below.

School Time Schedule
Arrival/Departure Procedures
Arrival/Departure Procedures: Students are expected to arrive between 8:10 a.m. and 8:25 a.m. Supervision for students begins at 8:10 a.m.
Please do not park in the front circle drive at any time during the school day. Please be considerate when arriving to pick up and drop off your child. Please park your vehicle in the designated parking spaces only.
The front circle is a FIRE LANE. Vehicles may not be stopped or parked in the front circle at any time. The parent drop off and pick up location is off of Wood Street by the northeast entrance to the school. Parents should wait in the car pickup line stretching from the northeast school doors near the gym into the Palatine Park District parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation in getting all of our children to school safely.
We have two locations where students enter the building on a daily basis. Car riders enter through Door 8 on the side of the school facing Wood Street. Mrs. Arenberg and/or a Program Assistant are stationed there as supervisors. Walkers or bus riders will enter through Door 1 at the front of the school. Mrs. Costa, our Assistant Principal, is always stationed at the front as a supervisor.
All students who ride the school bus home from school will exit Door 1 to board their buses. Our classroom teachers walk their classes to their designated bus and ensure that all students board the correct bus each day.
Students who are walking home will exit out of Door 1, as well. They have to walk along the sidewalk to their destinations. If they rode a bicycle to school, they must walk their bike when on school property. Once they have left school property, they can resume riding their bicycle home.
Students who are car riders should go to Door 8 for parent pick-up. This is where we have staff available to supervise their dismissal and safe entrance to their car. We have heard from the Palatine Park District that students are not using the designated cross walk areas on Wood Street. There have been a few noted issues of kids dodging moving cars to go to their family's car. We appreciate your help keeping our kids safe by following these guidelines.
Walking to School/Crossing Guards: Crossing guards are stationed at the corner of Colfax and Benton Streets in the morning and again in the afternoon to assist children walking to and from school.
Report an Absence: 847-963-7001
Our first concern when a child is absent is to verify the child’s safety. For that reason, it is very important that the school office knows the whereabouts of your child(ren) when they are absent or will be late arriving at school.
Absence Line:
847-963-7001
When your child is absent or late, it is your responsibility to call the school absence line or the school office to notify the staff of your child’s absence. Please state your child’s full name, the teacher’s name, the date of the absence, and the reason for the absence. Please do not leave this information on your child’s teacher’s voice mail or e-mail. Substitute teachers do not have access to teachers’ voice-mail or e-mail.
If your child’s whereabouts are unknown, every effort will be made to reach you using the phone numbers you have provided. Please make sure that your child’s school office has all current phone numbers on record. If you have not notified the school with the reason of an absence and the school office has exhausted all attempts to reach you, your child will be marked truant for that school day and any other school day that your child is unaccounted for.

Health care provided in the school health office is to support your child, allowing students to return to their classrooms. The nurse is available to work in collaboration with your child's primary healthcare provider. If you require assistance in obtaining a primary healthcare provider, please reach out to the health office for a list of community resources.
Nurses positively affect student attendance. A registered nurse at school every day allows for prompt and professional responses to health concerns and medical issues. In the event of illness or accidents, the nurse provides emergency care.
Responsibilities of the nurse include first aid and illness care, the maintenance of student health records, the development of healthcare plans, and screenings for student vision and hearing needs. Parents/guardians are encouraged to bring questions about immunizations, health exams, medications, or student health needs to the nurse.
The Health Services staff believes family is an essential part of good health. Your input is valued and welcome. Please feel free to ask questions, share thoughts, and exchange health information. We look forward to partnering with you!
Questions? For more information about medication administration, individual health care plans, health exam forms/immunizations, and more, please contact your school nurse or visit the Health Services webpage.

Facility Use
Thank you for your interest in our Facilities. Our buildings are valuable community assets and many civic and community groups use them for meetings and events. We are glad to accommodate these groups whenever we can.
If you choose to reserve space in our buildings, please keep in mind that fees may be charged to offset associated custodial costs. Any organization using district facilities must meet insurance requirements and have a current Certificate of Insurance on file with the District.
Visit Facility Rentals to reserve now
If you would like information about which space might be the most suitable for your use, or have other questions, please contact Jennifer Gillespie in our Facilities & Operations office, 847-963-3951, or gillespj@ccsd15.net.
In order to provide security for groups using the building outside of school hours, please:
- Enter and exit through the main entrance. A custodian will open the door for the adult supervisor prior to the activity.
- Have an adult supervisor remain at the door until all members of the group have arrived.
- Do not put any items in the door to block it open. The doors must remain locked at all times.
- Make sure that once your group has entered the building, all participants stay in the assigned area. An adult supervisor should accompany any child that needs to leave the assigned area.
- Have all coaches and group leaders inform parents of exclusion dates so that children are not dropped off on evenings when there is no activity.
- Sign the building use form provided by the custodian on duty.
In order to help maintain the building, please do not:
- Bounce or pass balls in the hallway
- Bring food and/or beverages into the lobby, hallways or gymnasium
- Bring chairs of any type into the gymnasium
We hope that your group activity is enjoyable. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please let us know.
