ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

Bus Pass Purchase Information for the 2025–26 School Year - School Starts on August 14, 2025.

Families interested in bus transportation for the 2025–26 school year may purchase a bus pass now.

  • Cost: $1,000 for the first student
  • Sibling Rate: $500 per additional student in the same household

Why Purchase Early?

Bus routes and stops are created based on the addresses of students who purchase bus passes by Monday, June 30. We strongly encourage families to purchase early to benefit from a more convenient bus stop location.

Passes purchased after June 30 will only be accommodated if space is available and will be assigned to an existing route. Unfortunately, we are unable to make exceptions to this guideline and do not accept requests to add or modify bus stops.

Routing Parameters

When planning routes, First Student will follow the guidelines below:

  • Routes are approximately 45–60 minutes, including typical traffic conditions.
  • Buses travel along major streets and stop at designated intersections—they do not enter subdivisions.
  • Routes are designed to minimize street crossings near high-traffic areas or construction zones.
  • Routes and stops may be adjusted due to road closures, traffic patterns, or other unforeseen factors. Any changes will be communicated by email as early as possible.
  • Two students are seated per bench.

Final bus routes and stop locations will be posted on the District website and emailed to parents and students no later than Monday, August 11.

How to Purchase a Bus Pass

  • Navigate your web browser to https://register.glenbrook225.org

  • After accessing the system, select Optional Fees, followed by Bus Pass for 2025-26 
  • Add the fee to your cart
  • Pay the appropriate fee by credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or electronic check. 
  • If you are also purchasing a pass for a sibling, please log into the sibling account and select Bus Pass for 2025-26 - Sibling Rider
  • Payment must be processed separately on each student account

Graduating Seniors - Chromebook Donation

If your senior is not using their Chromebook in college and your family doesn't need the device as a backup for a sibling, the Chromebook can be donated to your campus bookstore. 

  • Donated working Chromebooks will be used to assist families in need. 
  • Donated Chromebook devices that are non-functional will be recycled. 

Please don't hesitate to contact the bookstore if you have any questions or concerns.

Introduction to ParentSquare

The district is excited to introduce ParentSquare that will launch on July 1, 2025. This unified communication tool brings together the best of what we have heard that our parents and guardians are seeking: visual appeal, user-friendliness, and inclusive language access.

ParentSquare offers extensive features that enhance and expand upon our current tools. In addition to mass notifications delivered via phone, email, and text, the platform offers two-way messaging features to support communication between staff and students involved in extracurricular activities. It also allows families to respond to messages with questions, RSVP to events, sign up to volunteer, and access calendar items - all within one centralized system. These enhancements are designed to improve engagement, accessibility, and responsiveness across our entire school community.

More information about how to access the new tool will be provided over the summer. 

Read the full Board Notes on the District 225 website.

The next meeting of the Board of Education will be held on Monday, June 9, 2025 at 7 p.m.
