The first day of the 2025-26 school year for students will be Wednesday, August 20. Staff will start the school year with two planning days on August 18 and 19.
There will not be a summer-school program run by CCSD 89 in 2025. For the past four summers, the district has used federal pandemic-relief Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds to provide classes for students who needed to review math or reading skills.
Because there is no longer ESSER funding available, the district cannot offer classes and transportation for the summer of 2025. Other outside agencies, such as local park districts and GECRC, will offer summer programming.
CCSD 89 will consider options for financially sustainable summer enrichment and skill development programming for future years.
Residents are invited to learn about traditions and customs from around the world at the CCSD 89 Culture Fair, which will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15, at Glen Crest Middle School.
This family event includes multicultural customs from around the world, including art, music, games, artifacts, clothing, dances, crafts, foods, and more.
Starting to put away your kids’ winter clothes? If you find any new or lightly used snow pants, winter coats, or boots that no longer fit, please consider donating them to CCSD 89 families in need. The district is collecting these new or lightly used items at schools or the district office, 22W600 Butterfield Road, Glen Ellyn. The clothes will be distributed to students next winter.
Through the end of May, you can bring the items to the reception desk on the first floor any time between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Reminder: If you have automatic monthly deposits set up for your students’ lunch account, those deposits will continue over the summer unless you turn them off through MySchoolBucks. To cancel or edit your AutoPay settings in PowerSchool, click “AutoPay Settings” in the Home drop-down menu. From there you can click on “Disable AutoPay”.
Any unused money in your student’s MySchoolBucks lunch account will automatically roll over to the next school year. Families of current eighth-grade students will need to contact CCSD 89 Accounting Coordinator Wendy Nadeau at (630) 469-8900, extension 3507, or wnadeau@ccsd89.org to request that funds be transferred to a sibling or request a refund check for the remaining funds.
Congratulations to the 251 Glen Crest students who were promoted to high school freshman on May 29, 2025. The promotion ceremony was held at Wheaton Warrenville South High School.
