If you need to get into the building on the weekend, please be sure to notify an administrator. Additionally, before asking a custodian to assist you on a weekend, you MUST clear this with an administrator BEFORE asking the custodian to report. See me with any questions about this. Also--if you ever have a question about any of this, feel free to text/call me at 847-309-3921.

All employees are expected to enter all absences in Frontline, even if you text/call/email others to let them know you will be out. This is a professional responsibility!
