Today begins the annual Teacher Recognition Week. Please take this opportunity to write a brief note to your child's teacher. We are so fortunate here at Center Cass School District 66 to have such a talented and highly professional teaching staff that delivers high quality instruction to our students on a daily basis. We feel that our teachers are a critical part of the Parent-Student- Teacher triad that insures success for all students. Please join us in recognizing this great group of teachers!
