parents and student meeting with teacher

Parent conferences will be held at all District 54 schools on November 18 and 19 this year. The 2026-27 calendar approved by the School Board includes two evenings of conferences to provide additional evening time slots for working families.

Families will receive a notification through ParentSquare from their child's teachers or principals in early November, providing them the opportunity to select from available time slots and choose an in-person or virtual appointment.

If you have never logged-in to ParentSquare before, visit our Setting Up Your ParentSquare website for more information.

Students will attend school for a half day on November 18, and a full day on November 19 and 20. Schools will be closed the entire week of Thanksgiving (November 23-27, 2026).
