Thank you for staying home & staying safe. We'd love to send you on an around-the-world trip, but that's not possible right now. You can still explore many amazing places on Earth - and beyond! - from your home. We've compiled some virtual field trips at

The elementary schools were filled with smiles at meet-and-greets around the district this morning. We're just one day away from seeing all our students in person and we can't wait!

At tonight's Board meeting, Principal @MitchDubinsky and teacher Erin Riccci led a presentation on the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program that's been bringing role models into @BriarGlenSchool for 10 years. The kids (and the dads) give the program two thumbs up!

Where were you at 4 a.m. Wednesday? Many of us were at home on one of the coldest days in IL history. Our buildings and grounds crew of Tim Tomazin, Charles Synowiec, and Ron Henson were out in the bitter, bitter cold at 4 am, repairing a water main break at @BriarGlenSchool .

Congrats! After that long, slow, boring summer away from your classes, away from your teachers, and away from daily academic challenges...the wait is over! You get to return to school! We can't wait to see you! This year is going to be fun, challenging, empowering and exciting!

At tonight's meeting, the Board recognized the work and generosity of Theodore Utchen - known as the "Dictionary Man" - who has donated hundreds of dictionaries to CCSD 89 third grade students, and taught them how to use this important resource!

Thank you to everyone who was part of making today a special experience at @GlenCrestMS . Students were awed by meeting the Illinois Army National Guard team that works on the Blackhawk helicopter and @navistar team that builds MaxxPro MRAP vehicles.
