Did your child complete a financial aid application for college and now you're wondering about their eligibility and the required follow up steps? Join us for a YouTube Live session where ISAC's Parent Outreach Coordinator, Claudia Aly, will discuss financial aid offers, also known as award letters, and explain what they are and when to expect them.

This session will provide guidance on understanding the different types of financial aid your student may qualify for, including scholarships, grants, and loans. Whether your child has already submitted their financial aid application or you’re just starting to explore options, this is a great opportunity to ask questions.

Here is the link to ISAC’s YouTube channel where the event details and link to join can be found: https://www.youtube.com/@ISACvid/streams.

If you missed our webinar with the College Funding Coach group last week, you can view the recording here until April 11th.

District 117 families,

Our schools are dedicated to continuous improvement, and we value input from students, staff, and families to guide our efforts. We invite parents, guardians, and caregivers to share their feedback on what District 117 is doing well and where we can improve.

Please take a few moments to complete the Family Survey at the link below. The survey is anonymous, consists of 33 questions, and takes about 11 minutes to complete, with a few additional demographic questions at the end.

Your participation is essential in helping us better understand and serve the needs of our District 117 community. Thank you for your time and valuable input!

Here is the link to take the survey.

This past weekend was a very successful one for our ACHS Boys Wrestling program. We had 4 athletes who found themselves on the podium as the tournament concluded. Gavin Hanrahan earned a 3rd place finish in his weight class, Chase Nobiling and Dom Garcia received a 4th place medal, and Ben Vazquez wrapped up a 5th place medal. All 4 were very deserving of wrestling on the final day amongst the very best in the state of Illinois. Congratulations to these athletes on a great season and fantastic state tournament.
