Happy Monday, D114 families!!! And welcome to DECEMBER!
The temperatures are dropping, so please be sure students come to school dressed warmly. If you need assistance with winter gear, please contact either school office. We'll be glad to help!
Commendable Status!
We are THRILLED to let you know that both Lotus and Stanton have received Commendable Status from the state of Illinois for our performance on all metrics for the 23-24 school year! If you'd like to learn more, please join us at Tuesday night's Board of Education meeting!
FREE Movie!
Fox Lake Lion's Club is sponsoring a free Holiday Movie, Jingle Jangle on December 14th at the Classic Cinemas in Fox Lake. A non perishable food donation to the Grant Township Food Pantry would be appreciated. Please see the attached flier for more information.

Know Anyone Who...
If you know anyone who would be interested in being a Van Driver, Sub Van Driver, or Bus Driver, please have them apply using this link. We can TRAIN bus drivers ourselves if they don't have a CDL, and van drivers don't need the CDL!!!
Attendance Matters!!!!
PLEASE keep making sure your children come to school unless they are truly sick . If you need any help in getting your child to school, please reach out so we can help! Our attendance and absences are submitted to the state and factor into our school status. More importantly, a day missed is a day of lost learning!
