• Prentice Hall Literacy, grades 6-8

These materials are on display starting today through May 6th at the District Administration Office. You are welcome to stop by and review these materials and give input prior to formal adoption on May 6th.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Dr. Susan Brandt, Assistant Superintendent, at 847-675-8234.

The Federal government and the state of Illinois are requesting that schools take a serious look at the overall wellness of their students. Our district has been responding to this as our Board of Education has adopted new policies focusing on student wellness. To further emphasize our commitment to the wellness of our children, Lincoln Hall is dedicating Thursday, March 20th, to wellness. We are calling it Wellness Day. We will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary dedicated to this day.

PLEASE NOTE A TIME CHANGE FOR ONE OF THE PERFORMANCES OF OKLAHOMA! TO BE HELD AT LINCOLN HALL.

SUNDAY, MAY 18 - THE CORRECT TIME SHOULD BE 3:00 PM. THE SCHOOL CALENDAR LISTS THE PERFORMANCE TIME AS 1:00 PM. THIS IS INCORRECT. THE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MAY 16 AND 17 PERFORMANCES ARE CORRECT. THE TIME FOR BOTH PERFORMANCES IS 7:30 PM.

TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.

The four "Strands" of the strategic plan are:
