Recycling and Composting Initiative
District 103 has begun a recycling and composting initiative across all of its schools and is working with the Illinois Green Alliance for guidance on this project. Families can follow the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County guidelines on composting at their home. The Illinois Green Alliance works with schools to promote green buildings and sustainable communities. This District 103 video shows how our Leaders in Learning are already making a difference in our schools. Watch for school specific videos on composting and recycling coming soon.
National Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage Month honors the culture, heritage, and contributions of Hispanic Americans each year. During this month, observed annually from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, communities mark the achievements of Hispanic and Latino Americans with festivals and educational activities, according to the website, Hispanic Heritage Month.
The 2022 Hispanic Heritage Month theme invites "us to celebrate Hispanic Heritage and to reflect on how great our tomorrow can be if we hold onto our resilience and hope,” according to the National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers. D103 schools celebrate with reading books, weekly lessons, and displays.

Custodial Worker's Appreciation Day
D103 custodians spend hours each day ensuring that classrooms and common areas are clean for students and staff. They go above and beyond in assisting teachers and students with additional tasks.
On Custodian Appreciation Day, Oct. 3, District 103 staff gives a BIG thank you to these individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure clean schools for employees and students.
“District 103 is fortunate to have a team of engaged and dedicated individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our staff and students comfort and safety. Our successes as a district are due in large part to the backbone that is the Facilities Department. I could never thank them enough for all they do," said Eric Jonasson, District Director of Facilities.

Please check your child's Quest lunch balance through the MySchoolBucks platform. Turn on the auto replenish option so your child's account doesn't go into a negative balance. Families may also sign up for low balance alert emails, which lets them know when they need to replenish a lunch account.
