Portrait Engagement Calendar
District 97 is hosting events throughout February and March 2024 that are open to staff, families AND students. The full schedule is included below. CLICK HERE to access the District 97 Portrait Google Calendar.
About the Community Sessions
We’ve designed the sessions to be different from typical community forums:
- Staff and families will have the opportunity to walk around, learn about our draft Portrait, and provide feedback on definitions and learning experiences. We’ll also have some kid-friendly activities for students.
- The events will be “open house” style, meaning you can come for 15 minutes or stay the whole time—whatever works best for you.
- If you can’t make it to your home school, please join us at another session! The district will host 15 events this winter—including three virtual.
