Thanks to the D56 PTO for hosting Free Movie Night last week at Spaulding. Students and families enjoyed pizza, popcorn, and Elio!

Thank you to all who donated to our D56 Veterans Day Coin Wars! We raised over $4,300 for Honor Flight Chicago and Lake County Honor Flight! This is enough to support four veterans' trips on an honor flight! We truly appreciate our veterans' service to our county and our D56 families' generosity!

A reminder! No school November 24-28 and Parent-Teacher Conferences are Monday, Nov. 24.

Due to the weather conditions, we have made the decision to cancel school for today, Monday, November 10. All after-school activities will be canceled. Stay safe and warm. Thank you
Students at Spaulding School enjoyed Halloween fun last week where students and staff enjoyed parties and a parade! Looks like so much fun!

Thank you to everyone who joined Viking School for Viking Quest at the end of October! Families enjoyed games, activities, and prizes — and most importantly, time together. We’re so grateful for everyone who came out and for the strong partnerships we share with our Viking families!

A big shoutout to The Exchange Club of Gurnee for recognizing the winners of this year’s Gurnee Days Rib-Eating Contest! We’re proud to share that D56 Tech Specialists Jon (Spaulding School Gurnee District 56) and Jonathan (Prairie Trail School) took home the trophy — marking the first-ever win for the district and the first time a school has won the contest! Thank you to the Exchange Club for hosting this fun community tradition and for celebrating our champions!
