District 88 shares important update regarding textbook purchases

District 88 continues to research ways to reduce expenses for families, while maintaining a stable budget and a high-quality educational experience for students.

As part of that effort, the district would like to share an important update regarding textbook purchases for the 2017-18 school year. The district will expand the use of federal grant money to buy classroom sets of textbooks that have been identified as high cost. The goal is to help control the expense of textbooks to better support families financially. The district will continue to monitor its resources and fees in an effort to decrease costs for families.

Addison Trail and Willowbrook will still provide a list of textbooks for each class, so parents/guardians have the option to buy their student his or her own copy of that book through the school bookstore or from an outside vendor.

For financial assistance with textbooks, contact Addison Trail Assistant Principal Courtney DeMent at cdement@dupage88.net or 630-628-3306 or Willowbrook Assistant Principal Tom Cantlin at tcantlin@dupage88.net or 630-530-3441.
