This month, D33 and the Board of Education recognized several outstanding staff members for the impact they make across our schools each day.

• Gary Elementary teacher Evonne Cruz was celebrated for her leadership, positivity, and dedication to students both inside and outside the classroom.
• Leman Middle School’s Hannah Christie was recognized for her leadership in strengthening student supports and empowering staff through the district’s MTSS work.
• Indian Knoll’s team of dedicated substitutes was also honored for their flexibility, reliability, and continued support of students and staff each day.

We are grateful for the incredible people who help make D33 such a special place to learn and grow.

At D33, we know that students and families may experience stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges at different times throughout the year. During difficult moments, having access to support and trusted resources can make a big difference.

That’s why District 33 partners with Care Solace, a free and confidential care coordination service available to all D33 students, staff, and families.
