Working Together to Stop Bullying

We take bullying seriously at Culver School. If you or your child suspect bullying, here are some ways to report it:

  • Talk to a teacher: They can investigate and support your child.
  • Report online: Use our anonymous reporting form on the school website
  • Call the main office: Ask to speak with an administrator about bullying.

Remember, your child's well-being is our priority.

Measles Information for School Families

Please see the letter here from Mrs. Morrissey, regarding measles.

Authors Coming to Culver!

3rd grade will enjoy Michael Witwer’s words of writing wisdom this spring, as well. You can read more about Michael’s work here. If your child would like a copy of Michael’s book, please use this pre order form. 

Then, Rekha Rajan will present to K-2nd grade students with this engaging book. We will share book pre-order information soon. Looking forward to enhancing Culver’s love of literacy through these author presentations.

Please see the dental report form requirement for students enrolled in kindergarten, second grade, and sixth grade here.

Absence Reporting and Tardiness

As a reminder, if you need to report a student absence, please call our attendance line at 847-966-9280 ext 1118.  As a matter of safety, please notify the school of absences in advance of the school day.  If a student is absent and we are not aware of the reason for the absence, our school nurse, Mrs. Morrissey, will be contacting the parent(s) and/or guardian(s).  

Additionally, please make every attempt to have your child to school on time.  Student late arrivals to the classroom are disruptive and delays the educational process.  We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
