PARENT 411 on 115 - 12.13.22

It's hard to believe there are only seventeen days left in 2022. Like many of you, the holiday season is the Montgomery family's favorite time of year. Winter Sings, dance recitals, family visits, holiday treats, and the warmth of being surrounded by family and friends all fill me with happiness.

On behalf of the District 115 team, I want to wish you and your family a joyous holiday season. We hope you enjoy a well-deserved break and the company of loved ones.

We look forward to continuing to bring our Portrait of a Learner to life with you in 2023!

Matthew L. Montgomery, Ph.D

Superintendent

At the end of the school day, Bus H5 will deliver students back to the intersection of McKinley Road and Scott Street in Lake Forest.
