Zion Elementary School District 6

Join us virtually on May 14, 2021 from 4:30-5:30 pm as we navigate how to promote self-confidence and leadership in children.

BPAC/PAC celebrated this past Friday, April 30, the last District-Wide Parent and Student of the month for the 2021-2022 School Year. This was a great accomplishment in collaboration with each school building staff. Our students and their families are our priority. We were really happy to have contributed to bringing a smile and a little happiness to our kiddos and their parents for well-deserved recognition.

Our District is excited to celebrate Staff Appreciation Week! This year has been a learning experience for everyone. We are so blessed to have an amazing staff that has allowed our District to remain open since September 9, 2020.

You may or may not have heard of the recent Lake County Health Department announcement. The LCHD has announced that starting Saturday, May 1, 2021, the Lake County Fairgrounds (1060 E. Peterson Rd., Grayslake) will offer walk-in COVID-19 vaccinations on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. ​

Please join us Friday May 7th at 4:30pm for a great presentation with Mr. Ferney Ramirez: ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN TO BE SELF-CONFIDENT AND INDEPENDENT. We hope to see you then!

We are so excited about this year's virtual promotion ceremonies! While our District is saddened that a traditional promotion ceremony cannot take place this year, we remain optimistic and confident that we can successfully honor the Class of 2021 and our long-held traditions within our virtual format.

On March 16, 2021, we sent a survey asking families and staff for their feedback on the importance of coordinating school calendars between Zion Elementary School District 6 and Zion Benton Township High School District 126. Survey results indicated that the majority of the respondents were in agreement to align more closely with the high school calendar.

Even though things look a little different this year, some traditions and ceremonies that we have taken for granted are now more important and more celebrated than ever! You have earned the right to start celebrating your 8th-grade student(s) and these moments that matter.

As you may know, one of the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is through testing. Therefore, we are extremely excited to announce that Zion Elementary School District 6 with the help of the Illinois State Board of Education and the Lake County Health Department, will be implementing rapid testing (BinaxNOW) within our schools starting January 2021. Rapid testing will help facilitate the continuation of in-person learning throughout our entire District. Here you will find, The Blueprint.
