Join us from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at our new location, McCall Elementary School and Bevier Park, for free backpacks and school supplies, community resources, food trucks, a petting zoo, kids activities, haircuts, and more.
Dear North Elementary School Families,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year!
We hope everyone is enjoying the summer with time with families and friends while enjoying taking time to relax and recharge for the upcoming school year. It was wonderful to see many teachers, staff, and students participating in summer school and other meaningful activities.
The upcoming school year is currently in preparation with teachers and staff coming together to plan and prepare for the return of students on Monday, August 17, 2026. Prior to the official first day of school, we welcome all families to attend our Meet and Greet on Thursday, August 13, 2026 from 3:30p.m.-5:00p.m. At this time, families will be able to drop off school supplies, meet your child’s teacher, locate your child’s classroom, and stop by the main office with any specific questions.
Our daily schedule (K-5) ( PreK A.M. : 8:25 -11:00, PreK P.M. 12:28 -3:03)
8:00a.m. Breakfast begins for all students. Students should not be dropped off before 8:00 a.m.
8:20 a.m. Students enter classrooms.
8:30a.m. Instructional Time begins (this is also when the tardy bell rings)
3:03 p.m. Students dismissal
We would like to support all students and families in starting the school year strong, positive, and for everyone to be successful. Please collaborate with us in following ways:
Prioritize students attendance: Students should arrive, on time, every day, unless they are sick or there are extreme circumstances. If your child will be absent, please contact the main office and as an added measure notify your child’s teacher.
Be ready to learn: Students should arrive with all their necessary materials, a charged chromebook, and if they have physical education with the appropriate footwear. Please also wear appropriate clothing for the weather and school.
Stay connected and involved: We will share important information through our monthly newsletter. Don’t forget to follow our Facebook Page -North Elementary School- Waukegan for important information, celebrations, calendar of events, and more.
On behalf of North Elementary School, we would like to thank you for your continued support and collaboration in the best interest of our students. We are excited to begin a successful new school year. Have a wonderful and safe remainder of the summer and we look forward to seeing you on August 13, 2026 for Meet and Greet and August 17, 2026 for the first day of students' attendance.
In partnership,
Nicole Lemberger
Principal
