School District 57
From the Desk of the Superintendent
August 7, 2023
Dear D57 Families,
With the start of the 2023-2024 school year right around the corner, I hope you are squeezing what you can out of these last few beautiful days of summer! Even as I write this, District 57 teachers, principals, custodians, and staff are working hard to prepare for an exciting school year. We can’t wait to welcome your child/ren back to the classroom! With the launch of our 2023-2028 District 57 Strategic Plan coming up as well, this year is shaping up to be an incredible year of growth, partnership, and purpose! I feel fortunate to have such a supportive, engaged community of parents and guardians to partner with! Below is a collection of important dates and documents to help your family transition smoothly to the school year.

Principal Welcome Letters
Last week, the principals from each school emailed families their welcome letters, which are filled with key back-to-school information and dates.
All important dates, including non-attendance dates for students, can be viewed on the 2023-2024 District 57 Calendar.
I hope gathering this information in one place made your life a bit easier. Enjoy your last few days of summer, and I look forward to working with you in the months to come!
In the spirit of education,
Dr. Mary Gorr, Superintendent
