BPAC Meeting Tuesday, November 12, 2026

We would love for you to join us for our upcoming BPAC meeting on Tuesday, November 17, at 5:00 p.m. in the Diamond Lake School Innovation Center for a very special student presentation! Our students will have the opportunity to share their experiences, learning, and what they love about being part of D76. We are so proud of their voices and ideas, and we want to fill the library with families who can come celebrate and support them. Your presence makes a difference, and we hope to see a full room of D76 families cheering on our amazing students! 💙🐾

Let's do this, Cubs! 💙🐾

Keep shining and #SparkleOn,
