🌊 Word of the Year: IMPACT 🌟

At our Opening Day celebration, Dr. McIntyre introduced this year’s guiding word: IMPACT. Every action, big or small, creates ripples that reach far beyond what we can see. Like a stone skipping across water, the relationships we build, the lessons we teach, and the kindness we show leave lasting effects on our students, staff, and community.

To symbolize this theme, teachers decorated rocks and received IMPACT pins, daily reminders that each of us has the power to make a difference.

Here’s to a year of growth, learning, and transformation through the impact we create together!

👷‍♀️ Hardhat Highlight #3 👷‍♂️
With strong community support, D102’s Building a Brighter Future referendum continues to bring exciting upgrades to our schools! 🏗️✨

This summer, crews have made big strides across the district:

🏫 At AJHS: Final touches on HVAC, lighting, and flooring are wrapping up. Bleachers are installed and the parking lot will be ready for Day 1!

🍎 At Pritchett: Ceiling work is nearly done, new HVAC systems are in place, and outdoor areas have been refreshed.

📚 At Tripp: Final phases of mechanical, lighting, and ceiling work are underway, with parking lot improvements in progress.

These improvements are more than just physical, they’re an investment in the future of D102 students.
