In response to the Governor’s order to close schools through April 30 and ISBE’s updated  guidelines, we are making the following adjustments to the April calendar. The State has granted districts up to five Remote Learning Planning Days to prepare for instruction during the extended closure. We will use two of these days in April. We are also planning on using Monday, April 13 as a student attendance day since we had to move the Institute Day to March 13. The changes to the April calendar are reflected below. 

Monday, April 6 - e-Learning Planning Day

• No student attendance
• Teachers plan for next two weeks of instruction

Friday, April 10 - No student or staff attendance day (not a change, just a reminder)

Monday, April 13 - Student and staff attendance day (change—previously an Institute Day)

Monday, April 20 - e-Learning Planning Day

• No student attendance
• Teachers plan for next two weeks of instruction

After careful thought, much discussion, and an abundance of caution, the Spirit of 67 Foundation has decided to postpone the 2020 Home Tour.

This decision was made in compliance with the current Illinois State recommendations to cancel all events over 250 people. Obviously, this is disappointing but the health of our community must come first. We will keep you posted with a plan to move the tour to fall 2020.

Our mission is every student, every school, every day. To that end, we provided the funding, $178,930, for 34 grants to enhance the educational experiences for our kids. Click on this link to scroll through the document listing the grants awarded. We literally couldn't do this without your support. Thank you to our record number of donor families who show up to events, pledge support and believe in this cause as much as we do!
