Classroom Assignments
Wednesday, August 6th Grades 1-6 Class Placements Posted; Kindergarteners will be posted after screening in Parent Portal.
The Einstein staff has worked diligently to place every child in an environment which best suits learning needs; therefore, placement change requests respectfully will not be honored. We do ask that parents/guardians do not call the office to inquire about classroom placement changes. Although each grade level of students are split across three to four classroom sections they still have many opportunities to be with other classmates during the week.
For additional support with logging in to the Parent Portal, kindly contact the District 54 portal support desk at [email protected]. Support is available from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you leave a message, you will receive a response during those business hours. Link to Parent Portal

Families with outstanding registration paperwork are invited to come to Einstein prior to the first day of school to complete these required steps. Families who have not proven residency will not be able to generate the report or when they view the report.

In order to be ready for the first day of school, please make sure all health paperwork and/or medications are dropped off at Einstein. You are welcome to stop by between 8:00 AM and 3:00 Monday-Friday, fax health forms to our office at 630.736.250 or email our school nurse, Michelle Hill at [email protected].
Immunizations
All immunizations must be current according to the requirements of the Illinois School Code. Students who fail to comply will be excluded from school. List of Immunization Requirements by Grade Level. Information regarding Influenza (flu) and Meningococcal Disease and the vaccine can be accessed below or on the Illinois Department of Public Health website.
Physical Exam
The Illinois School Code requires that children entering preschool, kindergarten (or first grade if kindergarten was not attended) and sixth grade must have had a physical exam within one year prior to starting that grade level. Students of any age transferring from a school outside Illinois must also have had a physical within the last year.

Busing
If your child is eligible for busing, the District 54 Transportation Department will mail your child’s bus pass to your home before school begins. If your child rides the bus to and from school, please note the following procedures:
Electric Bikes, Scooters, and Skateboards
Electric bikes, scooters and skateboards are NOT permitted on District 54 property, due to safety concerns including the potential for accidents and the possibility of fire associated with such devices. This applies to students, as well as to family members and friends who may be picking up or dropping off students at school.
District 54 Virtual Backpack
District 54 shares information about community events with our students and families through our Virtual Backpack. We know that parents are interested in extracurricular activities. At the same time, we don’t want the homework, letters from the teachers, school news and other important district information to get lost among the countless other pieces of paper in our students’ backpacks. Please click the link for additional information: https://sd54.org/virtualbackpack/
No Food Deliveries Allowed
With a focus on student and staff safety, District 54 will not allow food delivery services to our schools. We will continue to have hot lunch days, which are planned events, organized and supervised by school or PTA volunteers. Please note that if you need to drop off a lunch, baskets will be available outside of the main door. All baskets will be picked up at the designated lunch times.
