To provide a premier educational foundation that enables each student to thrive.

District 65 Guiding Principles

We believe:

  • The best interests of students must guide every decision.

  • Education is a partnership involving parents, students, school staff, and the community.

  • Social and emotional wellness is integral to the learning process.

  • Fine arts are fundamental to an exceptional educational experience.

  • Our facilities and technologies must enhance the educational process.

  • Students learn best when they are actively engaged and individually challenged to achieve their unique potentials.

  • Excellence in teaching promotes excellence in learning.

  • Fiscal discipline strengthens our schools and community.

  • Effective and transparent communication with all stakeholders is essential for the district’s success.

  • Continuous improvement requires data-driven evaluation and decision-making.

Our Board of Education and I are in agreement that the search for a new principal must be a thoughtful, deliberate and inclusive process in order to select an outstanding candidate who will provide long-term leadership and inspiration to both the students and staff at Lake Bluff Elementary School. Our search process will begin in October 2013 and I will have additional information to share about this in September  READ MORE...
