Dear District 67 Families:
I want to take a moment to highlight an important event that is fast approaching next week – Principal Appreciation Week (October 15-21)!
Principal Appreciation Week is a special time dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the invaluable contributions of our school principals. These dedicated educators are not only the leaders of our schools but also play a pivotal role in shaping the educational experiences of our students. They inspire, motivate, and guide both students and teachers, fostering an environment where learning thrives and excellence is achieved.
During Principal Appreciation Week, we encourage you to take a moment to show your gratitude and support for our school principals. Whether it's a simple thank-you note, a kind gesture, or a message of appreciation, your recognition goes a long way in recognizing the hard work and dedication that our principals put into their roles.
If you would like to send a shout-out to any of our principals in Districts 67 or 115, please fill out the survey below!

An invaluable playbook for anxious parents everywhere, "Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success" by parenting expert Michelle Icard (FAN ’22), offers specific and unexpected advice about what to say, what not to say, and what to do to help children in eight categories of tense situations. Distilled from Icard’s decades of experience working with tweens, teenagers, and families, she underscores that there is always a chance for a child to gain new and stronger decision-making skills, and for the parent-child relationship to strengthen.
