Dear Families,
Well, it was a snowy but wonderful Halloween! Thanks to all of you for your support of our Halloween/Fall Festival events!
DISTRICT UPDATES
COME CELEBRATE THE ARTS!
Please come join us on Saturday from 10AM-2PM at LOTUS for a free opportunity to celebrate the
Arts and STEM in D114, as well as to learn about career options in our area!
CONGRATS TO OUR BOARD
On Tuesday night, the D114 Board of Education was recognized for achieving another recognition award from the state of Illinois! This is a huge achievement...very few boards achieve this honor, let alone for 7 consecutive years!
Way to go, D114!
MORE GREAT NEWS
We received formal notification this week that both our schools achieved COMMENDABLE status
from the state of Illinois! This means both our sites are working exactly in ways that make a difference
for students, and our students are making growth! Yay, D114!
LATE START SCHEDULE
In preparation for inclement weather, we’re THRILLED to announce that we’ve developed a new
option for nasty weather days! We’ll now have a delayed start plan. The other surrounding districts
have this as an option, and--since we all make closure decisions together--this allows us to have the
same options as Grant, Big Hollow, and Gavin!
