School District 123 values the learning partnerships that are formed between our families, students and staff. Each year District 123 strives to ensure that all members of the learning community are able to connect with classrooms, and the school system in valuable and meaningful ways.

District 123 has intentionally created opportunities for connection including:

• Meet & Greet Opportunities

• School Open Houses

• Family Conferences (In-Person, Virtual, and Telephone)

• Remind, Seesaw, and Email Communication Tools

• Individual Classroom Curricular Newsletters

• Principal Tuesday Take Home Communication

District 123 is using ThoughtExchange so everyone has a chance to share their perspectives and understand what’s most important to our learning community. Please share your thoughts and then rate at least 20-30 of the thoughts that others have shared. Come back often until Nov 4, 2022 to rate new ideas. Your thoughts, ideas, and input are extremely valued and appreciated.

With Safe2Help, students can connect with a trained crisis professional during their own crisis, or to report a potential threat. Students can submit a Safe2Help alert via the following ways:

• Website: https://app.safe22helpil.com
• Text: SAFE2 (72332)
• Phone: 844-4-SAFEIL (844-472-3345)
• App: "Safe2Help Illinois" app available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
• Email: HELP@Safe2HelpIL.com

All alerts are responded to by a trained Safe2Help crisis professional. Safe2Help is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

District 123 staff are not the initial responders to the alert and will receive each alert after the Safe2Help professional provides support. District 123 staff will review alerts sent by Safe2Help during regular school hours, unless the nature of the alert necessitates immediate school action.
