The last day of school is Friday, May 27, 2022.  The students will be dismissed early, at 1:15.

Mr. James Pluskota, Principal of Edison Elementary School in Elmhurst, Illinois, was recently named by the Illinois State Board of Education as a 2022 Those Who Excel awardee for Meritorious Service.  

The safety of our students, school campuses and surrounding neighborhoods is a shared priority with our District 205 parents. This weekend, school officials received a safety update from our Elmhurst Police Department school liaison officers that we are sharing for your information.

District 205 is excited to welcome all students back to campus full-time, five days per week beginning April 12, 2021. Our principals have already started sharing details for each campus. As a reminder, all families who are currently enrolled in remote learning have another opportunity to select in-person learning. This selection will be for the remainder of the school year

Construction projects continue to take shape as District 205 fulfills its promises from 2018’s $168.5M referendum. Edison Elementary School is currently undergoing a major renovation as a result.

Today, fourth grade students got a sneak peek of what is to come this August when the project is completed. The students were able to move into their two new classrooms and held a mini, socially-distanced ribbon cutting to celebrate!

Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 will operate on remote-learning status tomorrow, February 16, 2021

Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 will transition from hybrid to remote instruction for two weeks beginning October 21-November 4, 2020, implementing an Adaptive Pause in accordance with IDPH guidelines. The pause to in-person instruction comes because DuPage County has entered into Substantial Community Transmission. COVID-19’s presence in the community has increased to a level that stands to expose our families and staff to health risks. Expand this story for next steps.

The start of the school year has been stressful for many families as parents struggle to balance work with remote and hybrid learning. Staff at the Elmhurst Park District and Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 have been working behind the scenes for weeks to come up with the best solution to help as many families as possible during this tough transition. 

Club Ed. is a new program for children K-5 that will offer a convenient, self-directed E-Learning opportunity at various D205 and Park District locations. This program will provide a structured schedule that alternates designated time for self-directed E-Learning and recreational activities including indoor/outdoor games, arts and crafts. Children will be in a group of 15 participants or less in a format that meets all CDC health and safety guidelines. Face coverings will be required at all times except while eating.

Since sending the survey July 17, people have reached out with requests for additional information to help them determine the best decision for their children. Therefore, we are including two additional pieces of information in this communication, which we hope will be helpful and have extended the deadline for responding to July 31 at 5 p.m. All responses will be considered final at that time, and you will receive an email from D205 confirming your submission after the results have been reviewed.
