The Crete-Monee School District values our entire learning community. Our guests play a significant role in maintaining district operations and supporting students and staff. By some estimates, during their K-12 experience, students spend 5-10% of each school year under the care and supervision of guest teachers.

We are dedicated to providing comprehensive training, recognition, and ongoing support for all guests to maintain a safe and positive learning environment for our students and staff.
