For the safety of our students, families, and staff, please help us keep school drop-off and pick-up areas clear and moving safely throughout the school day.

• Please do not park or wait in designated drop-off areas in front of our schools during arrival, dismissal, or regular school hours.
• Please remain in your vehicle during morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up. If you need to leave your vehicle, please use a designated parking space and walk into the building.
• Keeping these areas clear throughout the school day helps maintain access for emergency vehicles and supports a safe, efficient arrival and dismissal process.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our schools safe!

In October, students across all three of our schools participated in a variety of important safety activities and hands-on learning, including:

• Fire Safety House
• Metra train safety presentations
• Bus evacuation drills
• Safety drills in partnership with Itasca Police and Fire
• …and more!

The Board of Education meets regularly on the second Wednesday of each month. Meetings are held at the Itasca Village Hall, 550 W. Irving Park Road, Itasca, Illinois, at 7:00 P.M, unless noted otherwise. If a closed session is needed, it is held prior to the regular meeting at 6:00 P.M.

At our October Board of Education meeting, we recognized Franzen teachers Danielle Rosales and Michelle Grubbs for their outstanding work on the Biodiversity Grant for Outdoor Education! Their dedication and effort helped create meaningful learning opportunities and experiences for our students.

Do you know someone in the D10 community who goes above and beyond to make our schools a better place? Whether it’s a dedicated teacher, a helpful student, a rockstar bus driver, or an incredible parent/guardian, we want to recognize them!

The Board of Education celebrates those who make a positive impact through Board Salutes - special shout-outs given during board meetings and recorded in the official minutes.

The Board of Education wants to recognize these everyday heroes with a Board Salute!

On November 15, we celebrate our Itasca District 10 Board of Education!

From thoughtful financial decisions and facility planning to supporting staff, shaping policy, and creating opportunities for students, our board members dedicate countless hours behind the scenes to support our schools and community.

Thank you for your leadership, collaboration, and commitment to every learner, every day. We appreciate all you do for D10!
