Commuting within 102
Dear D102 Families,
As you may know, some of our schools are within residential areas. To ensure we are being courteous to our neighbors, we’d like to encourage being mindful of the property surrounding our schools, including driveways and walkways. It’s been brought to the District’s attention that parents have been blocking driveways, preventing neighboring homeowners from exiting or entering their property. If you drive, ensure you are using the designated route of your child’s school and following all parking regulations within the community. If your student walks or bikes to school, ensure they utilize assigned crossing areas and crossing guards.
Each school has a designated drop-off route to ensure safe traffic and pedestrians. While we understand the importance of being timely to school, safety is our top concern. Please be patient with others during drop-off and pick-up times, and practice kindness with our neighbors.
Don’t hesitate to contact your school’s main office for more information if you have any questions regarding the drop-off route.
Thank you for your cooperation!
La Grange School District 102
Car Rider Drop-Off & Pick-Up Guidelines
Guidelines will remain the same as last year:
Please do not park, drop off or pick up on Homestead between Monroe and Jackson.
23-24 Bus Riders - Routes & Times
Computers/Devices
Throughout the years we have witnessed many students not using their computer cases. Please remind your child(ren) to protect their devices by using their computer case. Parents are responsible for any damages to the computer, which are more likely to occur if students are not using cases.
If your child has lost their case, you are responsible for purchasing a replacement. If we happen to have extra here at school they are $20.00 otherwise you can purchase a new one for your child(ren) through a vendor of your choice.

Before & After School Care Info.
Forest Road offers two different before and after school programs. Although they run independently from us, they are serviced here in our school. Below is the contact information for BASE and Right At School:
BASE: Leanna Hartung - Manager LeannaHartung@pdlg.org
Right At School: Chelsey Mazariegos - Area Manager chelsey.mazariegos@rightatschool.com
Right at School and BASE drop off security reminder:
Parents when you drop off your child off at Right at School or BASE and for some reason need to walk your child into the building, please then exit the building immediately after dropping off. Please do not take your child to the classroom or go to the classrooms on your own to drop off or pick anything up. I appreciate your attention to this.
Playground Safety
Just a reminder that the playground, basketball court, and blacktop areas shared by both Barnsdale and Forest Road are closed to the public during school hours (8:15-3:15). In order to ensure the safety of our students, we limit the use of these areas to only students and staff members during the school day. We kindly ask that parents refrain from having younger siblings and/or preschoolers who are not in session use these areas during that time. We thank you for your cooperation and helping to keep all of our students safe!

Chromebook Care Notice to Parents
Referral GPS - Connecting People to Treatment
We are committed to creating a culture of well-being of students, staff, parents, and community. In an effort to continuously support this commitment, the district has entered an agreement with ReferralGPS.
ReferralGPS is a web-based service focused on assisting our students, staff, and community in finding local mental-health and substance use related treatment. The service compliments the district's existing systems of support as a tool for student service teams and families to connect with treatment. Along with a searchable database of treatment options, ReferralGPS provides Care Navigation to assist families in triage, appointment setting, and follow up care.
School families may access ReferralGPS in two ways:
1) Visit this link at https://referralgps.com/find-help/dist102 to search for treatment resources or connect with a Care Navigator anonymously.
2) Contact Student Services (social workers, psychologists, counselors) to seek out treatment options.
ReferralGPS takes into account all types of private and public insurance including PPO, HMO, Medicaid, Medicare, and families who are uninsured or underinsured. The platform also filters by age, gender, zip code, and special requests.
ReferralGPS is available for use by district students, staff, and families at no cost. All information entered on the ReferralGPS tool is completely confidential and securely stored.
If you are interested in seeking counseling-related services at this time, please consider visiting https://referralgps.com/find-help/dist102 or reaching out to the Student Services team.
