What Are You Looking For?

Jamie Borst August 28, 2026 No Comments

Dear Niles Families,

We can’t wait to welcome our students back to school on Monday, August 31!

As a reminder, Monday will be a half day for our elementary and middle school students (1st – 8th graders only), and a full day for students at Niles High School, Cedar Lane, and Southside.

Our kindergarten students will begin their school year on Tuesday, September 1. We are especially excited to welcome our new Little Viking Class of 2039 as they begin their journey with us!

Families who utilize district transportation are encouraged to download the FirstView ParentView app, which allows you to track your student’s school bus and receive transportation notifications. The district code for Niles Community Schools is D6G3F.

We hope everyone has enjoyed a great summer, and we can’t wait to see our students back in our buildings!

Go Vikes!

Dr. Adam Burtsfield

Superintendent
