Directory Information Opt-out:

District 109 maintains directory information and shares it with our parent-teacher organizations and other District-connected organizations so that they can keep parents in the loop with important information (such as school lunch ordering, after-school enrichment, and other events, volunteer opportunities, and educational trips for middle school students). If you wish to opt-out of sharing directory information, per Board Policy 7:340, you must submit, in writing, a signed statement that you do not grant any publication permissions to District 109. You only need to opt-out of directory information one time (not every year).
