First Week Celebrations, New Team Members, and Looki...

Dear District 91 Families, Staff, and Community, What a wonderful start to the 2026–2027 school year! During this inaugural week, our hallways were officially humming with energy, excitement, and learning. Gratitude for Our Hornet Community Teachers & Staff:  The incredible dedication of our educators has been inspiring to witness. The time, intentionality, and heart our teachers poured into preparing their learning spaces and lesson plans ensured that every child entered a warm, supportive, and engaging environment on day one. Walking through the halls this week, it was clear just how much love and thought went into welcoming our students back. Parents & Caregivers:  Thank you for everything you did to prepare your children for this week. From summer family activities and routines to back-to-school shopping and logistics, your prep work was evident the moment students stepped into the buildings. We are so grateful for your partnership. Students:  Our students deserve huge praise for bringing positive character, strong academic effort, and great energy right out of the gate. Having them back in our buildings gives us all the motivation we need to do great work on their behalf. Continuous Improvement & Two-Way Communication Transparent communication and collaborative feedback drive our continuous improvement efforts across the district. Here are two quick ways to stay connected and share your perspective: D91 Weekly Pulse Survey:  Please take a quick moment to complete our   D91 Weekly Pulse Survey . Your regular feedback directly informs our continuous improvement strategy while helping us celebrate and recognize the amazing efforts happening across our Hornet community.
