Homework Hotlines allow students and parents to get information about the day's homework assignments. In general, only assignments for language arts (reading/writing), math, science and social studies are included in the hotline recording. Hotlines are updated no later than 4 p.m. daily.

Family and community members are welcome to visit Friendly Hills during the school day provided the visit is consistent with the health, education and safety of students and employees. Visitors (parents, guardians, short-term substitute teachers, volunteers, contractors, vendors, etc.) MUST enter and exit through a school building's main entrance and complete the check-in or check-out process. All other entrances to the building are locked and secured and are not entrances for visitors.

During the check-in process visitors will be asked the purpose for their visit and the staff person with which they have scheduled an appointment. They will also be given a badge that must be worn for the duration of the visit. All regular volunteers must follow this process throughout the school year.

Students are allowed to enter the building at 8:30 a.m. for breakfast and to go to lockers.The activity bus (for students who participate in sports, clubs, and Targeted Services / Minds in the Middle programs) departs school at 5:15 p.m. Learn more about School District 197 transportation options.

All students who a dropped off at school should utilize the front/main parking loop. At no time should parents utilize the back bus loop or loading dock for student drop off. All students should be dropped off curbside and not in the parking lot. Vehicles should pull as far forward as possible along the curb to expediate drop off. Use caution when exiting the parking lot and be vigilant of our walkers who utilize sidewalks and crosswalks. Pedestrians always have the right of way in a crosswalk. Should you need to come into school for any reason, please park your vehicle in the lot and not along the curb. Your cooperation is very much appreciated.
