109 News

As we get settled in after a holiday weekend, remember that you will hear from us at District Office every other Tuesday, while schools send out a newsletter each Friday. If you think you missed one, no worries! Newsletters are generally posted on the district and school websites the day after they are sent out. You can always check dps109.org or email communications@dps109.org if you have any questions. We would be happy to assist!

Last Tuesday, the Board of Education held a Committee of the Whole meeting to hear an update on the district's Master Facility Planning process. You received a standalone email from Mr. Simeck about this last week, but if you want a refresher, click below to read the recap of the meeting.

The new school year brings excitement, some anxiety and increased social pressures for both students and parents. CTAD's back-to-school newsletter includes ways to help the family through that transition and describes how CTAD's part time coordinator position is ideal for parents who want to make a difference to youth in our own community.

There are so many GOOD things going on in our buildings and around our district each day... we do our best to try and capture it and bring it to you!
