Important Reminder
District 45 would like to remind families that information on remote learning and in-person hybrid learning can be found on the Return to School website at d45.org/returntoschool. Please continue to check this website for the latest updates and details.
Second Semester Student Schedules
This week, families will receive notification from District that includes the following information regarding their child's schedule:
- AM/PM cohort assignment
- Student attendance hours
- Second semester (3rd quarter) class schedule
AM/PM assignments and second semester schedules are based on a myriad of factors including, but not limited to, academic programming needs, family enrollment choices K-8, and transportation, to name a few. While schedule changes midyear are never ideal, please be assured that our grade level teachers are actively collaborating with their content area colleagues to ensure a smooth transition for all students who have a second semester schedule change. In addition, if your child will be repeating a Fine & Practical Arts (FPA) course during the second semester, our FPA teachers are working with our Curriculum Department and their respective Jackson colleagues on second semester student learning experiences.

Materials Pick-up
This Wednesday, 1.13.21, from 11:30am to 4:00pm, teachers that wish to have additional resources available to students can have them available for pick-up. Students can check with their teachers to see if there is anything they need to pick-up.

Institute Day
Martin Luther King Day
On Monday, 1.18.21, District 45 recognizes the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with a non-school attendance day. According to the Amiricorps website, "This is the 26th anniversary of the day of service that celebrates the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy. Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on, not a day off,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities." Enjoy the day with your family contributing to our community in any way you prefer.
