Please note the location change of our screening this year!! If you are interested in enrolling your child in our preschool program, this is the first step towards getting onto our wait list! We hold screenings every March and August so there will always be future opportunities as well. If your child is not yet three, you may contact Jeanne Brown for a birth-3 screening at 815-304-4106. This would not put them on our waitlist but would still allow them to receive a free developmental screening. Thank you!

Kids Heart Challenge is underway and our school is excited about feeling good while doing good! Glenn Raymond Elementary is helping kids with special hearts through Kids Heart Challenge. We want as many families as possible to learn about heart health and the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR.

You can help by completing Finn’s Mission. When your student completes all the steps, they’ll earn a Lifesavers Cape and earn a chance to win two tickets to Super Bowl LXI in 2027!

Sign up today at http://www2.heart.org/goto/GlennRaymond or by using the AHA Schools app.

Mrs. Bandur's Civics class had the privilege of having IL Rep Jason Bunting speak to their class today. They got to participate in a debate on cellphones in schools and got to listen about what features make up "good government". Thank you so much Rep Bunting for taking time out of your day to come and talk to high schoolers.
