If you are wondering how we handle recess in warm weather, please see the information sheet. Currently the heat index is 87 degrees so it is regular recess; however, we will continue to monitor as the temperature changes throughout the day and make decisions accordingly.

🚐 District 187 families: The Rosalind Franklin University Health Clinics Community Care Connection is bringing free health services directly to our community to help keep our students healthy! They offer free health screenings, minor sick visits, and access to community resources, with fully bilingual support in English and Spanish.
💉 If your student needs immunizations, the clinic provides free vaccines for children ages 2 and up who are uninsured or Medicaid-eligible, as well as vaccines for uninsured adults. Appointments are strictly required for all vaccines. When attending a child's vaccine appointment, parents or legal guardians must bring their ID card, proof of Medicaid insurance, and the student's vaccine record.
📅 The mobile clinic stops right here in our district at the North Chicago Public Library on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., in addition to other nearby locations in Waukegan, Park City, and beyond. Because the clinic sites often reach capacity early, please call 847-578-8670 to schedule your vaccine appointment or to check if they are still accepting walk-in patients that day. For the complete 2026 schedule and a full list of regional stops, visit rfu.ms/community or facebook.com/RFUCCC.
