District 300 Students Are Back in the Classroom

Today marks the first day of school for Algonquin kids that attend Community Unit School District 300 schools.

Summer is officially over for kids attending District 300 schools. 

Today marks the start of the school year and we want to hear from Algonquin parents and students in District 300 today: Are you excited to be back to school? What are you looking forward to most this year? 

District 300 provides a full list of bell times for its schools and also its school calendar, which includes early release dates, holiday closures and other important dates.

We are looking forward to continuing to provide coverage of District 300 this year.

We always enjoy hearing from readers on how we can improve coverage: What do you think we should we be focusing on within D300 or your school district this year? Any particular teams or organizations that deserve a shout out? Or students or staff within the district that stand out?

For the Algonquin kids still on summer break — enjoy it while it lasts! D158 students are back in the classrooms on August 24.

For those who have some time before school starts, what will you be doing over these last weeks of summer? Any fun trips? And what are you looking forward to, or dreading, about that first day of school? 

If you've got some first-day-back-to-school pictures you'd like to share with us, we'd love to see them! You can post directly to this article or send to the editor at savannah.ziegelbauer@patch.com.
