June 2 is the last day of school (a half-day).
District 96 Families:
This week, the district received some final PTO blogs from some of our bloggers, reminding us that indeed, this is our last communications of the school year! Wow ~ where did the time go?
You and your family are no doubt looking forward to a break from the routine of school. We hope you find the time to unwind, connect with each other and connect with the best of the beautiful great outdoors around you.
It’s been my pleasure to connect with you this school year! See you in August!
