G. Kerkstra Elementary School Home

Happy New Year District 142 families!! We hope you are all staying healthy as we begin the 2021 New Year!  We are looking forward to welcoming all our students tomorrow, Thursday, January 7, 2021.

After Christmas, one of our Kerkstra Elementary School families experienced a fire in their home.  Their apartment is a total loss and they were able to leave with only the clothes they were wearing.

On behalf of the Board of Education, the Administrative Team, and the entire Forest Ridge School District 142 family, we are wishing you a healthy, happy, and restful Winter Break.

Each week the Board of Education puts together a weekly COVID-19 Community Newsletter. This newsletter is based on the most current information available.

Forest Ridge School District 142 is committed to the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. Following identified protocols is of the utmost importance.  As a reminder, all staff members, visitors to the building and students over the age of two must wear a face mask while at school and on a school bus, consistent with guidance issued by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
