Over the weekend District 300 lost one of our recent retirees, John Campbell, to cancer. Mr. Campbell began working in our District in 1994 and retired three years ago in 2018. He served our students as a counselor, a physical education teacher, and high school athletic director. He served his colleagues as a sincere and honest man with integrity. To me, he was a good friend and as a brother. He will be missed here by many and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

With the additional students in attendance weekly, we ask that you keep following our arrival procedures so our symptom checking stations and personnel can support students safely entering the school. If your K-4th grade student is a car rider, please use the drop off in the back of the building prior to 7:40AM. The last blue tent on the sidewalk is for all DES student car riders.
