Today, we welcomed thousands of students across U-46 for the first day of school! It’s a day filled with excitement and fresh starts but also reflection. For some of our school buildings, today marks their last first day of school. As we prepare to retire several beloved schools, we honor the generations of students, staff, and families who filled those halls with learning, laughter, and lasting memories. While we look ahead to new, modern spaces designed for 21st-century learning, we also carry forward the stories and spirit of the buildings that shaped our history. Here’s to a year of honoring the past and building the future!
