Buildings & Grounds

The school buildings and grounds are maintained according to annual and long-term plans. Buildings are cleaned using methods in compliance with the guidelines established by the Illinois Green Government Coordinating Council. Schools are available to community organizations during non-school hours when such use does not interfere with the functions or the safety of students or employees and are subject to fees. The use of school facilities for school purposes has precedence over all other uses. District 41 has a formal agreement with the Glen Ellyn Park District, B.R. Ryall YMCA and the Glen Ellyn Children’s Resource Center (GECRC) allowing access to the school gyms when school is not in session. To request space, please use the online facility request process on www.d41.org. An asbestos plan is available upon request. (4:160, 8:20)

Parents are provided two-day notice before application of pest- and weed-control substances, unless there is an immediate threat to health or property. Every effort is made to use alternatives to such substances, and if they are necessary, to apply them when school is not in session.

Due to safety and health concerns, pets should not be brought to school or school grounds before, during or after school unless the principal has granted permission. If you walk your dog as you accompany children to or from school, please do not bring your dog on school property. Some children are scared of dogs and even the friendliest dogs can be startled by groups of children.
