School Board Approves 2019-20 Calendar
|
|
Earlier in the school year, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) said it was going to grant school districts greater flexibility to determine the definition of an "instructional" day.
District 153 was excited about possible alternative methods of learning such as internet-based lessons from home for students in special circumstances or on snow days. It now appears that ISBE is having second thoughts about granting such flexibility and still hasn't issued final rules for the coming school year.
The adopted 2019-20 calendar reflects our current knowledge. Please pay attention to the notes on the bottom of the calendar and stay tuned for more information.

Order Your PTA Butter Braids by Friday!
|
|
Homewood PTA is again sponsoring a Butter Braid fundraiser in April, with pick up just in time for Easter and Mother's Day!
Butter Braids are a delicious treat for breakfast, brunch...even as a dessert! They are a great way to give mom a morning off from breakfast duty, especially on her special day. Just take the frozen braid out of the package, place on a cookie sheet overnight and bake the next morning.
Homewood PTA appreciates all of your help and the support of our fundraisers. All funds earned are used to benefit the students of District 153. Please consider ordering from this delicious fundraiser.
