USD 108 Families,
I know you are all anxiously awaiting news on what our schools will look like come August 19. Rest assured, we have been planning for several weeks and we will have our final plan out on Monday, July 27. We know this has been a stressful time and the “not knowing how things will look” adds to the stress. We miss your kids and we miss school! Check our social media sites and look for a school messenger on Monday with details.
Much love and appreciation,
Denise O’Dea

Our USD 108 Reopening Schools committee has been working hard to provide guidelines to our own reopening schools. We had planned to start school on August 19, 2020 as our calendar indicated. Today, Governor Kelly, announced she will be issuing an Executive Order on Monday, July 20th that will delay the start of school until Wednesday, September 9 This means USD 108's first day with students will be on Wednesday, September 9th. Our administration and our committee were unaware of the plan to delay school until the news conference this afternoon. We will continue to move forward with making plans and preparing for our students to return to school.
U.S.D. 108 has been working diligently to make plans to provide in-person schooling starting August 19, 2020. Please fill out this Return to Learn Parent Survey by Monday, July 20th. One completed survey per family.
