The superintendent of School District U-46 delivered a Thanksgiving message thanking families and community members for their support and urging continued parental engagement.

Speaking in brief remarks, the superintendent said the district values family partnership and asked parents to "check-in on homework, emphasize the importance of attendance, and collaborate with teachers to deepen the homeschool connection," adding that those efforts "help nurture curious, engaged learners." The superintendent identified the district's ongoing "Unite U46" work to update schools and facilities and cited a new strategic plan that promises "a safe, caring environment in which every student experiences the joy of learning and is empowered and prepared for a successful future."

The remarks framed the facilities initiative and the strategic plan as part of a broader effort "to build on the legacy of U46 with modern learning strategies, improved environments, and a shared commitment to student success." The superintendent thanked the community for "prioritizing our students and their future" and said it was "an honor to serve this community."

The message closed with a holiday wish: "I wish you and your loved ones a safe, restful, and joyful holiday season, and I look forward to all we will accomplish together in 2026." No formal actions, votes, or policy changes were announced during the remarks. The statement functions as a routine superintendent address to families and stakeholders and does not create new district policy.
