Board President's Message

Mrs. Darlene Gray Everett

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! “RE-IGNITE YOUR PASSION!” Dear Parents/Guardians, Students and Community Stakeholders, Welcome back on behalf of the Board of Education for Dolton School District 149. We are excited about the opening of the 2018-2019 school year and look forward to Monday, August 20th as the first full day of school for all students. At the end of every school year, we reflect on the voices of our children through electronic surveys, letters and phone calls to find out what they liked about programs and what they want to see more of for the next school year. The board is amazed at how intelligent our children are and we appreciate them voicing their opinions about the programs they want for their schools. . . .
