Dear DPM Parents and Guardians - By now you may be aware that schools nationwide are experiencing the consequences of a viral TikTok challenge called “devious licks” that encourages students to vandalize or steal school property and then post videos or pictures of the damage they have caused on social media. TikTok has since banned the videos and related hashtags but the trend continues.

Over the past two weeks, our school bathrooms at DPM have been subject to significant acts of destruction, forcing us to close some of those facilities. This vandalism is not only costly, labor-intensive, and inconvenient - it is illegal... please use this link to read the entire communication.

We are pleased to announce that early childhood behavioral and developmental screening will be available again this year for families with children aged 3- 5 years old residing in Districts 67 school boundaries. This screening is offered on a monthly basis and is free of charge.

Lake Forest High School utilizes multiple data points to assist with determining each student’s placement. In the absence of a standard assessment given across all of our feeder districts, Lake Forest High School administers the PSAT 8/9 to all students with intentions of registering at LFHS. This year, the assessment will take place at our West Campus, which is located at 300 S. Waukegan, Lake Forest, IL 60045... please use this link to read the entire communication.

We are offering the assessment on the following two dates:

• Saturday, October 23rd at WEST CAMPUS of LFHS (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM) OR
• Saturday, October 30th at WEST CAMPUS of LFHS (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM)
