On Monday, August 26 the doors opened at our D63 schools to welcome our K-8th grade students - followed by our First Step preschool students on August 27. We're excited to begin another year of learning - and this year will see some big changes; all part of our Building for Succes Master Plan. 

What's new this year? Here are a few hightlights:

• Our middle school! Gemini Middle School now serves all D63 6th-8th grade students in a new, cutting edge learning space that includes an additional 66,500 square feet of space.
• Full day kindergarten at all five of our elementary schools.
• Construction on a 40,000 square foot First Steps Preschool early learning center, which will open in 2020.
• D63's Family Resource Center (housed in the former Stevenson School) that offers a wide range of parent education opportunities and family programming.
• A new (but familiar) leadership team at Mark Twain: former Stevenson Principal Howard Sussman and Assistant Principal Ellian Eydis.
• New Gemini Assistant Princnipal Wendy Brutt.

We wish all of our families a fabulous first day and a wonderful year - as all of us here at D63 pursue Success Without Boundaries!
