COVID-19 Dashboard
The District 41 COVID Dashboard is a way for the public to monitor both the number of positive covid cases reported for students and staff as well as the number of people quarantined in the district due to close contact with someone who has tested positive. The dashboard will be updated every Monday by the end of the day.

Restart of Strategic Planning Process
The Board of Education has approved a strategic plan partner for District 41. The district will restart the strategic planning process with the Steve Webb Group, LLC. The work with Dr. Webb will take place over the next 6 months.
A Strategic Planning Committee will come together to lead this work and includes a diverse group of stakeholders from across the district including staff, parents and community leaders. Many on the committee participated in this process prior to the pandemic shutdown and a few are new to the committee replacing those who are not able to participate at this time.
More information will be shared soon and a website will be created to provide information to the community as we move through this process. There will be a variety of ways the district will be engaging with all stakeholders over the next six months.
Hadley Teachers Refresh Their Commitment to Kagan Cooperative Learning
As part of the Institute Day of learning for teachers, Hadley Junior High educators spent the day focused on teachings in the book “Kagan Cooperative Learning,” by Dr. Spencer Kagen and Miguel Kagan. Teachers learned techniques for management in the classroom and how to engage students more deeply and effectively in the classroom.
