Northbrook Road Construction Begins
|
Two projects in Northbrook that will have an impact on traffic surrounding GBN are scheduled to commence next week.
Metra will close the Shermer Road railroad crossing between Meadow Road and Walters Avenue from Monday, May 12 at 8:30 a.m. through Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Sidewalks and bike lanes will also be closed in that area. Additional information can be found on the Village of Northbrook website.
Additionally, as part of the Shermer Road Corridor Improvement project, Shermer Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction starting on Monday, May 12. The focus of this phase of construction will be on the medians. Please leave additional time to commute to campus, as this will likely impact arrival and departure traffic. Additional information about the Shermer Road Corridor Improvement project can be found on the Village of Northbrook website. You can sign up for notifications about this project by submitting this form to the Village of Northbrook.

Bus Pass Purchase Information for the 2025–26 School Year
|
Families interested in bus transportation for the 2025–26 school year may purchase a bus pass starting Monday, May 12.
|
- Cost: $1,000 for the first student
- Sibling Rate: $500 per additional student in the same household
|
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.
|
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.
