A Greeting From Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Martha Ryan-Toye

I am excited to welcome you to the 2025-26 school year! It is an honor to begin my tenth year as the district superintendent. 

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 20. Our buildings and grounds teams worked hard to ensure that our schools are clean, safe, and ready to go for opening day following several summer construction projects. Next up is the Blythe Park playground replacement. Families and community members will be invited to chat with district architects in early September to help envision a new playground scheduled for summer 2026.

You can stay connected with district news, updates, and photos throughout the year by following us at the social media links below, or by downloading the D96 app.

As always, thank you for your partnership. We are looking forward to another great year of “empowering learners for life!”
