Our Wildly Important Goals are about staying focused on the areas that can make the biggest difference for students.

Our superintendent, Dr. Monica Schroeder, recently joined FranklinCovey Education’s "Change Starts Here" podcast to talk about District 112’s goals, how we measure progress and why continuous improvement matters even when students are already achieving at high levels.

It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout at the first Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) meeting of the school year!

Parents and guardians learned about the ACCESS assessment and discussed how they can work with BPAC to support student learning. BPAC brings families of English learner students together to share information, build connections and support our multilingual learners.

We’re looking forward to a great year! All parents and guardians of English learner students are welcome at the next BPAC meeting on Oct. 28.

It was a fantastic morning at Ravinia Festival, bringing the community together to support our schools and students. Shoutout to the Foundation board, volunteers, sponsors and participants who put so much effort into making the event a success.

We are so grateful for everything the 112 Education Foundation does to provide need-based scholarships and support programs for District 112 students. Thank you! 👟💙

A new student-inspired mural is coming to Oak Terrace!

Last week, Red Oak students visited Oak Terrace to help kick off the project. Students from both schools created their own original designs, which artist Jason Watts will draw from and incorporate into the final mural.

The mural will be installed as part of the improvements being made at Oak Terrace as the K-5 Dual Language program comes together there next school year. Once complete, it will celebrate the program and give students a lasting role in shaping this next chapter of the Dual Language community.

We can’t wait to see this project come to life!

This week in , we’re checking in with 2nd grade as students begin a new ELA module, “Look Around and Explore!”

The module asks students to consider this question: How does exploring help us understand the world around us?

As part of the module, students are reading “Many Kinds of Matter” by Jennifer Boothroyd, an informational text that introduces the three states of matter and explains how matter can change.

2nd graders are using the text to practice making inferences, identifying important information and using context to understand unfamiliar words. At the same time, they are building science knowledge about the world around them.

Last night’s Board of Education meeting highlighted strong staff engagement and student voice across District 112.

The Board heard results from the district’s fall staff engagement survey, which reached its highest level of highly satisfied and engaged staff to date. Student Board representatives also shared updates on what’s happening at the middle schools.

The meeting included several other district and community updates, including information about this weekend’s 112 Education Foundation FUNd Run.

The transformation is underway at Wayne Thomas! 🏗️

Much of the initial demolition work is now complete, with spaces throughout the building opened up and ready for the next stages of construction.

Wayne Thomas is receiving the same kind of comprehensive renovation as our other recently completed school projects, with major updates throughout the building to create modern, welcoming and functional spaces for students and staff.

There’s a lot of work ahead, and we’ll keep sharing the progress as the building begins to take shape!
