Tuesday Newsday will resume on April 7, 2026. Enjoy Spring Break!
From the Superintendent
Dear Lincolnwood Learning Community:
After a busy few weeks, we reach a milestone in the school year calendar as we take pause from our normal routines to enjoy the annual spring break. Students recently wrapped up their second trimester of studies in strong fashion, while our winter activities concluded and gave way to new opportunities with spring extracurriculars. Everyone is encouraged to use the upcoming days to step away from the hectic schedule of the school year to enjoy more leisurely, family pursuits.
Whatever your traditions for this time of year, it is my hope that you are able to make lasting memories. Have a wonderful spring break and we are looking forward to the remaining weeks of school to finish this academic year strong!
In Educational Partnership,
David L. Russo, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
