Welcome to 2020. People in education get two opportunities to celebrate the “New Year,” so why not take advantage of it?!

Just prior to the break, District 205 learned that the Illinois Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development has recognized the District as the state’s Exemplary District for Whole Child education for providing Healthy, Safe, Engaged, Supported and Challenged learning environments for students. 

Please be aware that all students in Kindergarten, Second, Sixth and Ninth Grades are required to have proof of a dental exam on file with the school by May 15^th.   An exam performed within 18 months of May 15 fills this requirement.  If you are unable to obtain an oral health exam, a waiver must be provided.  The Proof of School Dental Examination form and the Dental Examination Waiver form are uniform for statewide use.  If a child in Grades 2, 6, or 9 fails to present proof by May 15, the school may hold the child’s report card.  If you have any questions regarding your student’s dental exam, please contact Dorothy Hamby in the Edison office at (630) 834-4272. 

The statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey is now open for parents to share thoughts about your experiences with our school. This survey provides critical input to help develop school improvement plans. The survey takes about 10 minutes.Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child. 

On September 3 and September 5, 2019, Elmhurst District 205 hosted three informational meetings about the upcoming integration of all-day kindergarten. If you were not able to attend one of those sessions, but would still like the information that was presented, the presentation is now available online.

Beginning July 29, 2019, Elmhurst District 205 began to use a new online payment system called PushCoin. Parents and guardians of D205 students will be able to fund their students’ lunch accounts. Parents and guardians of York students will be able to pay their high school fees through PushCoin, in addition to funding their students' lunch accounts.
