Bus Pass Purchase Information for the 2025–26 School Year - School Starts on August 14, 2025
|
Families interested in bus transportation for the 2025–26 school year may purchase a bus pass now.
|
- 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. Students 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 follows the guidelines listed 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.
|
- Navigate your web browser to https://register.glenbrook225.org
- Select Current Glenbrook Parent or Student
- After accessing the system, select Optional Fees, followed by Bus Pass for 2025-26
- Add the fee to your cart
- Pay the appropriate fee by credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or electronic check.
- If you are also purchasing a pass for a sibling, please log into the sibling account and select Bus Pass for 2025-26 - Sibling Rider
- Payment must be processed separately on each student account
|
If you have questions about purchasing a bus pass, please contact Alexandra Gan, District Bursar, at (847) 486-4737 or agan@glenbrook225.org.

Official 2026 Senior Portrait Information
|
Stuart-Rodgers Photography is the official yearbook portrait photographer for your school for the 2025–26 school year. To ensure consistency in the yearbook, only portraits taken by Stuart-Rodgers will be accepted.
Students entering their senior year should have received an email from Stuart-Rodgers Photography with details on how to schedule their appointment. Appointments are required, and we encourage families to book early—ideally during the summer—to avoid the busy fall season.
Here is how you may schedule an appointment:
|
- Go to their website, click ‘SCHEDULE ME’ and enter the student’s name and School ID to book an appointment.
- Select Your Session
- "Our goal in every session is to create an image that reflects your style and personality. We want to capture the spirit inside and not run you through a series of canned poses. We don't ask you to "smile" during a session because we want to capture it when you actually do!"
|
- August 27 - PRIMARY PHOTO DEADLINE - This is the last day to be photographed and have time to select a pose or order retouching for the yearbook.
- September 10 - YEARBOOK POSE CHANGE DEADLINE - This is the last day to select a pose and order retouching for the yearbook.
- September 20 - FINAL PHOTO DEADLINE - This is the last day to be photographed and be included in the yearbook. Stuart-Rodgers Photography staff will pick the pose for any student photographed after the primary photo deadline above
|
Go to the website, click SCHEDULE ME and enter the student's name and school ID if you are unhappy with the photos and would like to schedule a new session. Retake sessions require a photography fee and must be taken by the primary photo deadline above if you want to select one of the new photos for the yearbook. Retakes for personal use can be scheduled at any time before graduation. All dates are subject to change based on your school's publishing dates.

Introduction to ParentSquare
The district is excited to introduce ParentSquare that will launch on July 1, 2025. This unified communication tool brings together the best of what we have heard that our parents and guardians are seeking: visual appeal, user-friendliness, and inclusive language access.
ParentSquare offers extensive features that enhance and expand upon our current tools. In addition to mass notifications delivered via phone, email, and text, the platform offers two-way messaging features to support communication between staff and students involved in extracurricular activities. It also allows families to respond to messages with questions, RSVP to events, sign up to volunteer, and access calendar items - all within one centralized system. These enhancements are designed to improve engagement, accessibility, and responsiveness across our entire school community.
More information about how to access the new tool will be provided over the summer.
Read the full Board Notes on the District 225 website.
The next meeting of the Board of Education will be held on Monday, June 9, 2025 at 7 p.m.
