District 97 will be hosting another series of community chats with Superintendent Al Roberts this fall. These events will provide the staff, parents/guardians and neighbors from each school’s community with the opportunity to participate in an open, informal dialogue with the superintendent about a variety of issues that impact their individual building or the district as a whole.

The chat for Irving School will be held in the school’s media center/library on Thursday, December 1 at 6:30 p.m. (1125 S. Cuyler). The talk is expected to last 90 minutes, followed by the regular monthly PTO meeting. Free child care will be provided.
