D114 Weekly Family Updates 2/27/23

      

Dear Families, 

Thank you for showing me so much grace last week with weather decisions. Safety is always our priority, and I appreciate your support in understanding the complexity of winter weather decisions. 

We have finalized the calendar for the 2023-24 school year. It's available on the D114 website and also attached to the Weekly Family Update email you received. 

I appreciate you all more than you know!
