| Dear CP Families,
What a hardworking week! Thank you for visiting with me today at Coffee with the Principal. I’m looking forward to seeing you volunteer to fill our PTO positions! We hope you have a restful and enjoyable weekend with your loved ones. As we look ahead to Monday, please help ensure students come to school ready to learn by getting a good night’s rest and arriving on time.
A quick reminder to please have student laptops fully charged and ready for use on Monday morning. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another great week of learning together. Take care, Ms. Rodriguez |

Career Day Speakers Needed |
|
|
The Family Liaisons will once again coordinate Career Day events throughout La Grange School District 102 for the fourth year. We are excited to introduce students to a wide variety of career paths. Career Day aims to provide students with a close-up view of different career options, helping them connect their learning to the real world. This experience allows students to explore a broad range of careers and understand how a good education can lead to success in these fields.
We are currently looking for speakers to share their experiences with our students, and we would be delighted if you could commit approximately 75 minutes for elementary schools and 120 minutes for Park Junior High. This one-day event will take place in April-May 2026. In the form below, you may select the school(s) where you are interested in speaking.
If you have any questions, please contact Lupe Del Real, Family Liaison at delrealgu@dist102.k12.il.us. Thank you!
