At District 88, communication is a top priority
At District 88, one of our top priorities is to provide our stakeholders with transparent, relevant and timely communication.
We share successes and information about the district and schools through a variety of methods, including:
New for the 2024-25 school year:
- District 88 is thrilled to introduce a new communication piece – a video segment called “88 in 88" (88 in 1:88 for the Spanish version). These videos will feature 88 seconds (1:88 seconds for the Spanish version) of news and highlights from District 88 to share important information to help keep stakeholders connected with and informed about the district. To view the segments, go to www.dupage88.net/VideoSegment.
- We will expand our communication methods and launch Short Message Service (SMS) to provide text messaging. We encourage all parents/guardians and students to opt in to ensure you receive important messages from the district. For more information about this service, go to www.dupage88.net/District88TextMessages.
- Electronic newsletter: We publish an electronic newsletter in English and Spanish each Friday. This communication piece is a great way to stay up to date with the latest District 88 news. To sign up for the newsletter, go to www.dupage88.net/Newsletter.
- Website www.dupage88.net: In the event of an emergency/crisis situation, the district will post on its website to keep stakeholders informed.
- Social media: Below are our main “flagship” social media accounts:
- “The State of District 88”: Several times throughout the school year, we film “The State of District 88,” a video segment that highlights student successes and important information about the district. For more information, and to view the segments, go to www.dupage88.net/StateofDistrict88.
- Automated call/e-mails: Throughout the school year, District 88 families will receive automated calls and e-mails regarding district and school events and important news. In the event of an emergency/crisis situation, this is a means of communication the district will use to inform families.
- Direct contact: We are committed to being accessible and available to connect with stakeholders and communicate in a timely manner. If you have a question, a concern or need more information, we encourage you to contact our staff members directly by e-mail and/or phone. See the details below.

District 88 Update Meetings: Throughout the school year, District 88 will host School Update Meetings to communicate and connect with parents/guardians and students. This is an opportunity to meet with administrators to discuss the school year and future plans, as well as an opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session.
