Welcome Back to School, District 300 Students!

Today marks the first day of school for Lake in the Hills 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 Lake in the Hills 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, as well as the three other school districts LITH kids attends. 

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?
