This will be the last Principal’s Message of the year and the last day of school!
Thank you for a wonderful year!
Good luck to our graduating class! Stevenson is so lucky to have you.
We are looking forward to seeing our returning 6th and 7th graders next year!
Have a happy and healthy summer!
Report Cards
Trimester 3 report cards will be available on TeacherEase (School Insight) at 3:00 pm on Monday, June 5th.
REFUND OF 8th GRADERS’ POSITIVE MEAL ACCOUNT BALANCES
Positive meal account balances for graduating 8th graders of $5 or more will automatically be refunded at the conclusion of the school year. Parents wishing to transfer remaining balances to siblings still in D96 on the K12PaymentCenter.com should do so by Friday, June 2nd. Refund checks will be mailed by District Business Office staff Wednesday, June 14th, to the home address on record.
Summer Reading
This summer, we want students to experience the pure joy of reading. Since the purpose of summer reading is to help foster a love of reading, we strongly feel that students should read a book that is of high interest to them and close to the difficulty level of text they would encounter during the school year.
Incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be completing a summer reading assignment. This assignment will be shared in current 5th-grade, 6th-grade, and 7th-grade classes. This assignment contains two parts: (1) Read a book! (2) Write a letter to your next year’s language arts teacher. The assignment is available on the district website.

End-of-Year Technology Information
Aside from a few exceptions (defined below) all students will KEEP their District 96 technology (iPad, iPad Case, Charging Cable, Charging Brick, and Logitech Crayon) over the summer and will be expected to return with it at the beginning of the 23-24 school year. It will be the student’s responsibility to come to school next year with all of their technology items. Should parents have technology-related questions over the summer, they can get a hold of us at [email protected].
Exceptions:
-All EC student iPads at Willow Grove will be collected at the end of the school year. We will redeploy class sets at the start of the 23-24 school year.
-Any student who is confirmed not returning to District 96 for the 23-24 school year will need to turn in their technology items on the last day of school.
-Any student who unenrolls from District 96 (during the school year or during the summer) is required to turn in their technology items as soon as possible after they confirm unenrollment, even if families indicate they are planning to return at a later date, District 96 technology items should be collected.
Congratulations 8th Graders!
Congratulations to the Twin Groves 8th graders and their families! Wishing you all the best as you continue on your educational journey. It's an exciting time and we're proud of all your hard work and accomplishments so far. Keep up the great work!
Returning families check back in with us on Facebook and MTK in late July.
Thank you!
On behalf of our PTO, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our volunteers and community. Without your support, we wouldn't be able to bring all of these wonderful events to our students. To our committee members, we cannot express enough gratitude for your hard work and dedication. Your contributions have been invaluable this school year, and we are so appreciative of all that you have done.
