Ending February and MARCHING to Opportunities!

February 28, 2020

Dear Families, 

DISTRICT UPDATES

REFERENDUM UPDATE
Remember--the D114 ballot proposal asks you to keep the tax rate where it is...a ZERO
RATE CHANGE...and we will be able to:
*Improve safety with secure entrances at both schools and a new roof and sprinklers at
Stanton
*Increase teacher salaries so we are no longer the lowest paid in Lake County
*Provide our students will updated and rigorous learning materials

Be sure to look on the BACK of the ballot--our question is the only one on the back!

The ballot language is confusing, so please see below for an explanation...



Please find linked here list of questions you may have about this
important effort. This is a great opportunity for our District, so please reach out if you have
any questions or need more information.

2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR
At its meeting on Tuesday night, the Board of Education approved the calendar for the 2020-21 school year. The calendar is now live on our website. Please note the start and end dates. Lotus will be on TRIMESTERS AT ALL GRADE LEVELS starting next year; Stanton will say on quarters. You'll also notice that Lotus and Stanton will hold Conferences on DIFFERENT dates. This allows us to communicate immediately after the quarter ends at Stanton and immediately after the trimester ends at Lotus.

GETTING READY FOR PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN
We're starting to gear up for next school year! Please see below for information on our FREE Pre-K (half day and full day) and Kindergarten (full day) programs...
