Lombard District 44 Seeks to Bring Community Together, Develop New Focus
In an effort to develop a common focus and vision for Lombard District 44, Superintendent Ted Stec has launched a year-long strategic planning process. Known as Connect 44, the goal is to develop a 3-5 year outlook for the district that is reflective of the needs of the Lombard school community.
“Since becoming superintendent, you have heard me continually reference what I feel is fundamental to our success as a district, and that is that we are all in this together,” Stec said. “With the new administration now in place, we have an incredible opportunity to look forward and begin to define the future of Lombard District 44. I am hopeful you will be part of this journey with us, which begins today with the official launch of our strategic planning process -- Connect 44.”

Inside Our Schools: Recognizing and Celebrating Milestone Moments
There are amazing milestones and achievements happening in our schools throughout Lombard District 44 each day. While many of these are captured in real time and shared via our social media channels, we recognize not all of our public may be social media users or like to receive information in that way. Therefore, the district has launched a new section on its website dedicated to sharing these moments.
If you are interested in sharing your own unique moment, please e-mail communications@sd44.org. This section will be frequently updated with good news items shared with the district by our parents, teachers and staff members.
Please visit the webpage today for items that have been shared so far this month, which include the following:
