Is there anything better than the first week of school? We hope that everyone had as much fun as we did. It's great having everyone back!

This week has been filled with tremendous moments from our students and staff.

“I don’t think we need to hope for a great year,” said Justin Jonas, a teacher at Lincoln Middle School and President of the Park Ridge Education Association (P.R.E.A). “I firmly believe every single one of us in this room has the power to make it a type of year that all of us teachers, administrators, parents, and most importantly, our students deserve - and one that propels this District to the best version of itself that any of us have ever seen. Let’s not just hope for a great year. Let’s make it one.”
