Elgin High School
On Monday from 1-8 p.m. and on Tuesday morning from 8-10 a.m., EHS will be making parent-teacher conferences more convenient for their parents. They will no longer have to try to schedule multiple appointments or roam the school building looking for teachers in their classrooms.
The conferences will be held in the Elgin High School field house. Using an open house format, all teachers will be available in the same location during the stated times so there is no need to contact the school to make appointments. Parents may enter the building at door 7. Second quarter progress reports will be distributed to all parents who attend on either of these days.
Additionally, Elgin High School will be hosting a community resource expo during parent/teacher conferences. Community agencies represented include:
Fox Valley Hospice
Everest College
Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health
Arbor Counseling Center
Learning For Life/Explorers
The Community Crisis Center
Family Service Association of Greater Elgin Area
Hanover Township Youth and Family Services
YWCA
Please contact Elgin High School if you have any questions at (847)888-5100 x5101.
Liberty Elementary
On Monday, the families of Liberty students will thank the teachers for all they do with a Teacher Appreciation Pot Luck luncheon sponsored by the PTO.
