Friendly reminder about upcoming fall pictures! 📸
This afternoon Mokena Elementary School conducted its annual required lockdown drill. Students and staff did a great job in responding to the prompts required of the drill. A 911 call was placed and first responders activated in response to the drill as well. Our Mokena Police Department’s response was immediate. Please know that our students and staff are safe, and that any observed law enforcement response was not for an actual incident. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. Please contact the District if you have any questions or concerns.
As part of our new ELA curriculum, 5th grade students are learning the grade level skills needed to have collaborative discussions together. Today, students reviewed the discussion norms they created as a class and participated in the "think-pair-share" protocol to discuss their ideas around the module's guiding questions.
Thank you to the Mokena PTA for welcoming back our fabulous staff members with treats in each school's lounge! We appreciate your support!
Our teachers and staff members are back! We are looking forward to a great year together!
We can't wait to see our MIS students at the Back to School Nights on Monday and Tuesday!
Thank you to our 12 mentor teachers for providing guidance and support to our new staff members as they start their careers in Mokena. We are looking forward to seeing these partnerships blossom throughout the school year!

Thank you to the Mokena Chamber of Commerce for the goodie bags for our new staff members. Our local businesses' generosity was such a warm welcome to the Mokena community!
