We had a blast at our annual Halloween parades and parties! Thank you to the volunteers who helped us make memorable #SD74Moments. See photos from the festivities here.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 18 and Thursday, Nov. 20 from 3:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Sign-ups will open and links will be sent via email tonight at 7 p.m. The sign-up period will last through Friday, Nov. 14.

Virtual and in-person conferences are available. Please ensure that you are signing up for the correct teacher(s) on the SignUpGenius form(s). Call your school's main office if you have any questions.

Lincoln Hall students are collecting shelf-stable goods for their annual canned food drive in support of the Niles Township Food Pantry. Students should bring donations to their homerooms for collection and tallying. View a list of preferred items.

If you don't have a student at Lincoln Hall and would like to support the drive, donations can be dropped off at the Lincoln Hall main office through Nov. 20.

The District is planning two remaining classroom parties to celebrate Winter Break and Valentine's Day at Todd Hall and Rutledge Hall. Sign-up periods for each party will be as follows:

• Winter Break - Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. through Dec. 2 at 11:59 p.m.
• Valentine’s Day - Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. through Feb. 3 at 11:59 p.m.

At the end of each sign-up period, the District will create a schedule of coverage for every classroom at both schools, ensuring that those who express interest are assigned to at least one party during the year.

To indicate your interest in volunteering for a Winter Break party, complete this form when it opens on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. The form will close on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at midnight.

The safe daily transportation of students is a top priority at SD74. Please adhere to the guidance from our crossing guards and traffic personnel, and follow all posted traffic laws around campus.

In particular, dropping students off and picking them up at the service drive on Crawford Ave. in front of Lincoln Hall is prohibited; use the main drop-off and pick-up queue instead.

Your patience and understanding, especially during times of inclement weather, will go a long way toward ensuring student safety.

Stop by Will's Place (7927 Lincoln Ave. in Skokie) tomorrow, 9 a.m. - 10 a.m., to have your coffee served up by four SD74 Admins: Aliaa Ibrahim, Rutledge Hall principal; Jennifer Ruttkay, Director of Special Education; Erin Curry, Director of Student Services; and Courtney Whited, Business Manager/CSBO!
