Recently, the U-46 Board of Education was recognized for its exceptional governance practices by the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB). “The members of our Board of Education have shown their commitment to the District, the students, and the entire community by continually improving their leadership skills and knowledge,” said U-46 Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Johnson.

Washington Elementary School celebrated Principal Appreciation Day last week by having one of their students be “Principal for a Day.” Principal Iolanna, a second grader at the school, joined Principal Corcoran to get a glimpse of what it takes to be a principal. Principal Iolanna had a very busy day visiting each classroom, supporting breakfast in the cafeteria, overseeing morning announcements, attending an administrative meeting, giving a building tour to two new staff members, supervising recess, and even sharing the news of a positive referral for a student with their parents. In addition, she made sure all the teacher names and labels were corrected on the doors around the school and even addressed a few squeaky hinges. Her big initiative was declaring that Washington would have an upcoming pajama day. #WeAreU46
