Mr. Hiti's Message

Two quick reminders:

Keep checking grades with your students! We are fast approaching the end of the quarter on November 3, 2023. The two weeks between now and then will go by quickly.

The Winter sports season is fast approaching, this is one of many great ways for your student to get involved. All middle school sports except Middle School Dance Team are open for registrations, see the Middle School Athletics website for more information. There are some high school sports that 7th and 8th grade students are eligible to participate in, look to the Two Rivers Activities and Athletics page for more information.

I hope you get a chance to enjoy the break! It is a great time of year to be outside, and there are plenty of things to do. Enjoy the time with your kids!

2023 Levy Information

School District 197 is seeking voter approval for two levies this fall. One levy would renew an existing technology levy that funds nearly all of our district's educational technology, and the other would invest in a new operating levy to maintain class sizes and avoid cuts to programs and staff. These levies will be on the ballot for the November 7, 2023 election. Learn more at isd197.org/vote2023.

The community is invited to the district’s in-person community information session, where you can gather information and ask questions about the 2023 levies.

October 25, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
