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...

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.
