Attention parents: district is switching to a new student information system this summer

The student information system manages all student data such as class registration, attendance, parent/family contact information and much more. Among Synergy's many features is ParentVUE, a parent portal/mobile application that provides near real-time access to student information.

Rights and responsibilities handbooks to be mailed

Parents and guardians of students enrolled in District 196 schools will be receiving the Overview of Student Rights and Responsibilities handbook for the 2017-18 school year. The handbooks will be mailed the week of Aug. 7 to every household with a child enrolled in the district, one per household.

Back-to-school open house and information nights

District 196 elementary schools, middle schools and high schools have all scheduled back-to-school open houses, orientation sessions and/or information nights that will be held in August and September. The first day of the 2017-18 school year is Tuesday, Sept. 5. On Aug. 22 and 23, all elementary students will have an opportunity to meet individually with their teacher for a literacy assessment. These 45-minute assessment meetings must be scheduled by a parent or guardian by going to the school website. Assessment times are filled on a first- come, first-served basis. Some schools are offering additional assessment times on other days.
