Parents / Community

Parents play a vital role in education.  At District 89, we appreciate partnerships with parents, including the many volunteer hours that parents give to our school community.

Using our website, parents canind more information about reporting their child's absence, when the school day begins and ends, individual school and district news, weekly events, current health requirements, how to request student records, and what is needed for registration.

Parent Portal

District 89 families will soon have access to the parent portal, PowerSchool. PowerSchool provides information about individual student attendance, grades, and other information that helps keep parents connected.

Resources

District 89 uses an automated telephone broadcast system to inform parents via telephone when there is an unplanned event or emergency that requires school closing, or early or late dismissal.  The system is also used for periodic reminders.  To ensure that you receive the recorded messages from the District and receive updates via our e-newsletter, email communications@maywood89.org or contact the communications desk at 708.450.2460 ext 120.

In addition to resources on the District web site, parents are also encouraged to visit their local school web site, join the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), and attend regularly scheduled board meetings where additional resources and information are available.
