The DPS 109 Board of Education was glad to honor the conference champion 7th grade boys basketball team from Shepard last week! They also participated in a challenging activity presented by Mr. Brown, Mr. Deutsch, and 7th grade students from Shepard where they had to make materials out of paper but encountered a number of challenges along the way! See the photos below and click below to read the recap of the Board of Education meeting from last Monday.

Registration for our incoming 2024-2025 kindergarten class is open! We really want to try and get as close to a fully accurate count of our incoming class as early as possible, because it helps us plan better for budgeting and staffing!

Again this year, parents across Illinois have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent, it allows you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness. Your responses also help guide district improvement. To take the Parent Survey, please click the button below and select the appropriate survey to begin. Your identity and responses will be kept completely confidential and will not be connected to you or your child. The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete

There are so many GOOD things going on in our buildings and around our district each day... we do our best to try and capture it and bring it to you!
