Our Community

Welcome to the Community School District 17 Family Engagement Team!

We're thrilled to have you join us. Margot and I are dedicated to fostering strong, trusting relationships between families, school staff, and the district. Our role involves working closely with PA/PTAs, School Leadership Teams, Title 1 programs, and Parent Coordinators to support their daily needs and ensure compliance.

Our goal is to engage families in meaningful ways, encouraging their active participation in their children's learning and development. We believe that when families are involved, children thrive. If you have any questions or need support, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!
