Today, we kick off Staff Appreciation Week across School District 163.
Our teachers are the foundation of our work—showing up each day with commitment, care, and a focus on student growth.
Thank you for the consistency you bring to your classrooms, the relationships you build with students, and the high expectations you hold. Your impact reaches far beyond the school day.
We see you. We appreciate you. We are better because of you.

At that time, all families will be required to register in person. To register your child, please visit our website at: https://www.sd163.com/page/register-online.
Please have the following required documents ready to upload:
