CCSD 89 Superintendent's family newsletter
-
Each month during the school year, the superintendent will share news with families through a newsletter that is emailed to all CCSD 89 guardians and anyone who has signed up to receive the newsletter.
The newsletter often includes a message from the superintendent, information about district initiatives, student and staff celebrations, scheduling reminders, and calendar updates.
Periodically, the superintendent will also send out additional communications related to time-sensitive issues.
The superintendent's newsletter is just one way the district communicates with the community. News is also shared through the District website, social media sites (including Facebook and Twitter), news releases to local media, the Annual Report, the "Update" community newsletter, and school newsletters.
