As we start this new school year, we want everyone to know that we care deeply about the health, safety, and well-being of our students, families, and staff.

It is hard to believe that the start of the 2021-2022 school year is only one week away! All of our staff are working diligently to put the final touches on creating engaging learning spaces, finalizing student schedules, preparing devices for all our new students, and ensuring our schools are cleaned.

On Wednesday, August 4, 2021, Gov. JB Pritzker announced masks will be required for students, teachers and staff at pre-kindergarten-12th grade schools.

The District 142 Board of Education is happy to welcome back all students to fully in-person, full-school-day instruction – including eating lunch at school. We are committed to providing the most safe and supportive learning environment for every student.

The first day of school will be Wednesday, August 18, 2021 for all students. Read the full story to find links to the full school calendar and school supply lists.
