As the semester and the year draw to a close, it offers us a perfect opportunity to reflect on the things that really matter. For me, and most of you, that includes family, good friends, and in these uncertain times, good health, but it also includes our USD116 family. Today and every day, I appreciate the opportunity afforded to me to lead this amazing district of dedicated and committed teachers, administrators, faculty, students, and families. I recognize that there have been ups and downs this past year, losses and gains, but we have supported one another and continued to strive to be Better Together. Thank you for entrusting us with what matters most to you, your children.
I continue to be committed to ensuring USD116 is a safe and equitable environment for our students and staff to learn and grow together!
Wishing you and your family peace, health, and happiness in 2022.
Happy Holidays,
Dr. Ivory-Tatum,
Superintendent
