D114 Friday Facts--May 11, 2018

Dear Families,

Happy Friday! Please see below for this week’s updates…

District Updates

Join us for the May Board of Education regular meeting--Tuesday, May 15 at 7:00 PM at Lotus. We’d love to see you there!

2018-19 Student Registration

Registration for the 2018-19 school year is OPEN!!!! You should have received an email link to complete the online process. It has been streamlined to make it all MUCH more user friendly. Some new processes for 2018-19 will be:

  • In addition to completing online registration, all families MUST attend Walk In Enrollment on either August 1 or 2, 2018 (times TBA) to prove residency in D114. Also at this time, you will also be able to have any questions answered, complete any needed health forms, sign up for the PTA, purchase D114 spirit wear, and MORE! If you are unable to attend on these dates, you can come to prove residency by visiting the Business Office, located at Lotus School, between 9:00-12:00 daily during the month of July. Please call 847-973-4028 for additional information or with questions.
  • Student safety is our #1 priority. One key way we can improve our practices is by upgrading our transportation routing and bus service. We are already building the maps for our new transportation routing software, examining our bus fleet and driver capacity to ensure we minimize bus ride time, and that we create the safest routes and stops possible. To do so, bus stops will be assigned to students. This will ensure safety and efficient ride times.

Please note that all fees owed MUST be paid moving forward as applicable; D114 will follow up on fee collection to ensure all families are treated fairly and held accountable for fees due.
