District 36 Strategic Plan and Portrait of a Graduate

The Winnetka Public Schools community has shared a deep commitment to Progressive Education for over 100 years. Our School Board, administrators, and staff are honored to continue our history of excellence by cultivating rich experiential learning opportunities and fostering the academic and social and emotional skills that our students need to thrive now and into the future. To further advance this important work, the District embarked on an ambitious Strategic Planning process starting in March 2020 with the involvement of over two-thousand contributors representing students, staff, parents, community members, and alumni. One of the results of this process is the District’s Portrait of a Graduate:

Order School Supplies

The Crow Island PTO offers prepackaged school supply kits for your convenience through Educational Products, Inc.  EPI will deliver the supply kits to Crow Island and PTO volunteers will deliver the kits to each classroom before the first day of school.  Your child will arrive on the first day with all of his/her supplies.  It’s so easy!

Orders can be placed until June 4, 2023 by clicking HERE and using the following school code: CRO020 (letters C, R and O followed by zero, two and zero).

If you wish to purchase supplies independently, a copy of the supply lists can be found HERE.

2023/2024 Committee: Claire Winnard, Joanne Wallace, Nicole Serafine, Heather Pfeffer, Jenny Lehman, Laura Freechack, Anna Armsby
