No services are planned for the fourth teen killed in the crash, 17-year-old Jesus Rodriguez of Wheeling.
As the memorial at the crash site continues to grow, students made their way back to class for the first time Friday without four of their classmates.
Friday morning, the community responded in a big way by helping the families as best they could.
"I just felt bad," student Madison Coble said. "I just was like that is really sad that it happened in our community."
Rodriguez, Barcenas, Hernandez and De Ita were all killed in a car crash Tuesday night. A fifth student was badly hurt.
Police said De Ita, who was driving, ran a red light and crashed into two other cars and a light pole.
Classes were canceled at Buffalo Grove High School Wednesday and Thursday due to an unrelated fire. But school resumed Friday morning.
A tribute will be made to the students killed that were set to graduate Wednesday.
