Dear Parents,
On behalf of District 228, I would like to welcome you and your child back for another exciting school year. Our District Mission/Vision Statement was, and remains, Teach – Learn – Care. In my short time here at Geneseo, I have found that those words are not just a phrase in a binder on a shelf, but rather those three words drive the decisions we make and set the tone for how we educate our students. They are a part of our climate and culture. The District Mission/Vision Statement is what and who we are.
District 228 is wrapping up Project Leaf, our $36 million dollar facility improvement initiative. The school buildings are now second to none. Our students, staff, and community can be proud of the finished product and I guarantee our visitors have and will take notice.
Across the district, we will be welcoming twelve new teachers, three new assistant principals, and three new building secretaries. I hope you will make them feel welcome, just as you have made my family and I feel welcome. I came to Geneseo to be a part of something special. District 228 has a great reputation across the State and I can now say with first-hand experience that it is worthy of that reputation.
Elementary Open Houses are Tuesday, August 21 from 4:00 – 6:00 in their respective building.
Middle School Open House is Tuesday, August 21 from 5:00 – 7:00.
High School Open House is Wednesday, August 22 from 5:00 – 7:00.
The first day of student attendance is Thursday, August 23, 2018. Students will be released one hour early on both the 23rd and the 24th.
I look forward to meeting more families in the coming weeks. This is going to be a great school year!
