Our Message About Bullying
National Bullying Awareness Month is coming up in October, and we'd like to take this opportunity to let you know what we are doing to create a safe and supportive school environment for all. Bullying is unacceptable and comments or conduct that disparages or demonstrates hostility or aversion should not be tolerated. By being accepting, kind and inclusive, you can help make the world a better place. Together we can create a world without bullying! To learn more about bullying prevention and policies here in District 220, click here.

Picture Day is August 23rd
Shortly after the 23rd, you’ll receive and email from VIP when your images are ready to view online. Or you can search for your images shortly thereafter at vipis.com. There you can order packages and select your image for your yearbook (please remember to do so before it’s selected for you). All orders will be delivered to your home. Retakes will occur on September 24th.
