Facebook, Twitter and other social networks make it easy for our community to connect with District 109 and our schools. We support and encourage active use of social media by our teachers and staff; we want to share all the great things happening around the District, and make it easy for you to reach us and get the information you want, where and when you want it.

To request membership in a closed group, contact the classroom teacher or the group's leader.

District 109 strives to provide targeted, relevant and transparent communication to all stakeholders both internally and externally. In an effort to provide communication to the Deerfield community, we have created a community newsletter which will be sent out twice a year.

The Deerfield 109 mobile app is a tool to keep you connected, when you want, right from your mobile phone or tablet. Please download the app from the App Store or Google Play, or search either store for "Deerfield 109."  

You'll be asked to set up your app by selecting your school(s); choose from the list and select the schools that are important to you. Then, you'll see the calendars for those schools and receive notifications through the app with important school-specific information. 

Parents will receive emails with login credentials to be able to get information about their children. Please contact Becca Latham if you need your login information sent to you. When you log in, you can add new email addresses and phone numbers (for phone calls and text messages), and select your notification preferences. You have control! 

 Important notes:

• If you want to receive both phone calls and text messages to a cell phone, enter that phone number in both the "phone numbers" and "text/sms numbers" sections.
• Though there is a link, do not add new home addresses in the app. If you need to update your home address, please see the Registration & Residency page for change of address procedures.
