D62

Community Consolidated School district 62

Future Ready Learners

District 62 educates approximately 5,000 students PreK-8th grade in 12 schools. Including one early learning center, 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and one year round K-8 school. We proudly serve and support students and families from Des Plaines and Rosemont.

WHOLE SCHOOL

Three young boys in t-shirts and shorts walk down a school hallway with backpacks, while other children and a teacher are visible in the blurred background.

Our schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them to establish lifelong healthy behaviors.

WHOLE COMMUNITY

A group of people dressed in colorful costumes and masks are gathered on a stage, with a vibrant and abstract background behind them.

When schools engage families in meaningful ways to improve student health and learning, families can support and reinforce healthy behaviors in multiple settings-at home, in school, in out-of-school programs, and in the community.

WHOLE CHILD

A young girl in the foreground smells a stalk of celery while in the background, other students are visible in a classroom setting.

The whole child approach gives children the foundation they need to become well-rounded, healthy individuals, equipped with a solid education and important life skills to help them reach their full potential.
