Parent Needs Assessment Survey (Deadline: June 1)
Districts that receive federal IDEA grant funds are required to facilitate a needs assessment on an annual basis to all staff and parents who reside in the district. Please take a few minutes to complete a brief survey. All data obtained from this needs assessment will be used to structure future professional development needs and programming.
District 204 is in the process of determining the professional development needs related to Special Education for the 2024-25 School Year. We are asking parents of children with special needs to complete this survey.
Please complete one survey for each child you have with a disability. For example, if you have more than one child with a disability you would complete the survey for each child with a disability.
The results of the survey will help us to better understand your concerns and how we may address them during the school year. Your input on this survey is greatly appreciated, please submit your survey response by June 1, 2024. If you have any questions regarding this survey, please email christina_sepiol@ipsd.org.

A StoryWalk® is a fun activity that engages families in literacy. Pages from a children’s book are displayed along a path at a park, neighborhood, or school. Families have fun reading aloud together and building children’s interest in reading while enjoying a walk.

Teen Summer DMV Program
Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is launching the office’s FIRST EVER Teen Summer DMV Program, dedicating DMV services exclusively to teen drivers on Saturdays during the summer!
The extended hours allow teens who have recently completed a driver’s ed course to schedule an appointment to obtain their first driver’s license or permit.
The twelve Teen Summer DMVs will be open on Saturdays from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm starting THIS SATURDAY June 1 to August 31. This effort is part of the office’s modernization plan to reduce wait times and provide permits and driver’s licenses quickly and conveniently to fit with parents’ busy schedules.
The Teen Summer DMVs are located in Addison, Aurora, Bethalto, Belvidere, Bridgeview, Chicago West, Des Plaines, Elgin, Joliet, Lake Zurich, Plano, and St. Charles.
Parents and teens can call (800) 252-8980 to schedule an appointment at any of the 12 DMV locations. They can also call to schedule appointments at any of the other 15 DMVs that are open on Saturdays or at another DMV open during regular business hours Monday through Friday.
