Dear District 89 families,
To say that I have enjoyed my first four months as superintendent would be a significant understatement. It has been a pleasure and a privilege getting to know the students and families in this community. I have been able to visit several classrooms each week and participate in some awesome activities. During every visit, I learn more about each school’s traditions and culture.
Our staff and our students have been great about sharing their perspectives on education. Now, I would like to hear more from our families and community members.
Our first “Talking 89” session will held on Thursday, December 7. The meetings are open to anyone in the community. There will be two opportunities to meet that day: 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., and 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Both meetings will be on the first floor of the district office, 22W600 Butterfield Road, Glen Ellyn.
This time is set aside for me to listen to you and learn more about:
- What do you value about education in CCSD 89?
- How do you determine if we are meeting your educational expectations?
- Where is the district meeting (or exceeding) your expectations and where are there opportunities for growth?
Reservations are not required but I would request that if you plan on attending, you RSVP on this form, so we can prepare the appropriate seating.
This is the first of three opportunities this year for us to connect in an informal setting. The topics and dates for the next two meetings will be determined after gathering feedback on December 7.
Sincerely,
Doug Eccarius
CCSD 89 Superintendent
