Saturday, December 26, 2009

I would like to know why I can't find a school calendar on the school's website. I realize that the calendar may be revised due to the teacher strike but I don't believe they have ever provided a school calendar on their site. I was able to access the school calendar for other school districts in the area but I only saw a month to month event calendar on the District 144 site. I believe that this information should be readily available and easy to access. Close Quote
