Dear Barrington 220 Community,


I am writing to share the very sad news that one of our educators, Nicole Weldzius, a dedicated STEM teacher at North Barrington Elementary, has unexpectedly passed away.


Ms. Weldzius was a cherished member of the Barrington 220 community. Before her STEM position at North Barrington, Ms. Weldzius taught students in our Spanish Dual Language program at Roslyn Road Elementary and Countryside Elementary. In addition to her work in the school district, the Weldzius family lives in our community. This loss is profound, and we mourn alongside all those whose lives were touched by Ms. Weldzius across several of our school communities.


We understand this news may be difficult for students and families to process. We are working closely with counselors and support staff to ensure resources are available for anyone who may need help coping with this loss. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school’s administration or counseling team if you or your child would benefit from support.

In the coming days, we will find ways to honor Ms. Weldzius’ memory and contributions to our district. For now, we hold her family, students, and colleagues in our thoughts as we navigate this difficult time together.
