Dear District 76 Staff and Families,
We are pleased to share our 2025–2026 State of the District Newsletter, a celebration of the progress, growth, and achievements that defined this school year. This special edition of the Diamond Edge highlights how our continued focus on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and Presence has strengthened student learning, school culture, and student engagement across the district. Inside, you'll find reflections on our commitment to academic, operational, and professional excellence, evidence of growth in our classrooms, recognition of our graduating West Oak Middle School Class of 2026, and a look ahead at the work that will continue to support every student’s success. As we close another remarkable year, we invite you to explore the newsletter and celebrate the collective efforts of our students, staff, families, and community that make District 76 a place where every child is embraced, empowered, and encouraged to excel.
