Association of Parents and Teachers (APT)
Mission
The mission of the Lake Forest School District 67 Association of Parents & Teachers is to foster cooperative working relationships, to promote communication within the school community, and to enhance the education and enrichment of our children. Membership in APT supports the children, parents, and professionals (teachers, administration, and support staff).
The APT embraces our responsibility to promote respect and inclusion for all parties as cornerstones of these relationships. Our purpose is to establish a close working relationship among the home, school, and community that all may cooperate effectively.
We take responsibility to be informed about District issues. We work to communicate with our membership through various means and to keep them apprised of all matters occurring in the District.
Join the APT
Please consider joining the APT! The $40 membership fee goes directly back to the schools and supports programming in each building throughout the year. If you missed the opportunity to show your support at registration, you can join the D67 APT HERE.
APT Directory
Our membership fee also includes the APT-sponsored digital Student Directory that provides class lists, names, addresses, phone numbers and emails of District 67 students and parents who choose to have their information published. Membership also includes password-protected access to our online directory.
If you did not purchase an APT membership when you registered your student(s) with the District, or you are unsure of your membership status, please visit the APT Directory website.
New families who were not included in our Student Directory can create their family account and join the APT by visiting the APT Directory website.
Current District 67 families can purchase memberships and update their family information using the link emailed to them during the summer. Please email us at APTDirectory67@gmail.com if you did not receive the link.
Membership can also be purchased on the District 67 Web Store starting mid-September by using the Online Payments button found on each school's home page.
