Introducing 'MyD97'
In early 2019, the District 97 Board of Education adopted an equity policy that seeks to promote a strong sense of belonging in all of our schools, and is aimed at ensuring that every student we serve has access to an excellent and equitable education. We know that we cannot achieve equity without effectively engaging all of our students, staff, families and community members. As part of our renewed commitment to keep stakeholders informed and engaged, we are excited to introduce our new communications campaign, "MyD97."
As part of our "MyD97" campaign, we will use social media and our new "Weekly Wrap-Up" newsletter to share regular updates on the district's equity work and ways that the community can get involved.
