The 2020-21 school year has officially concluded. Throughout this year, our students, teachers, staff, and parents have demonstrated resilience through constant change while living our District’s Guiding Principles.
As we look ahead to the upcoming 2021-2022 school year, below is a list of updates to our current practices in alignment with guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
We thank you for your partnership,
Dr. Zipporah K. Hightower
