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 meet safety, efficiency, salary, and most
importantly, student needs!
Voting is open, but there's still time to register to vote if you haven't already done so!
For information on voting, please visit:

Here is some key information on registration and voting:
Grace Period Registration
After deputy registrar and mail-in voter registration closes, Grace Period Registration is available and allows you to update your record or register for the first time.
You must:
- Meet citizenship, age, and residency voter registration requirements,
- Provide two forms of valid identification (Both identification documents must have current name, and one must show current physical Lake County Street address), and
- Vote at the time of your registration.
Grace Period Registration is available at:
- The Lake County Clerk’s office, 18 N. County Street, Waukegan during weekday business hours through Election Day.
- Any early voting site when open. Use our locator tool to find a convenient early voting site or the assigned Election Day voting site serving your current address.
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.
Just a reminder that we will be closed on Monday, February 17 in honor of Presidents Day.
WINTER WEATHER
Please be sure to visit our website to stay current on winter weather processes. I'd love to
say that we WON'T need to use these...but chances are good that we will. Remember, we've added a DELAYED START SCHEDULE for this year, so take a peek at what those bus pick up times will be when/if we run a delayed start.
