Grateful to work with this amazing team!

💻 HAPPY IT PROFESSIONALS DAY ✨ When technology works smoothly, classrooms come alive. Lessons flow, creativity sparks, and learning happens without interruption. But behind every login, every Promethean Panel, every Chromebook, every secure connection, and every "Help! My WiFi isn't working!" — there's a team of heroes you don't always see. Today, we celebrate our Cicero District 99 IT Professionals — the technicians, engineers, and problem-solvers who keep the heartbeat of modern education running strong. ✅ They keep thousands of student and staff devices ready to learn every single day ✅ They manage the networks, servers, and security that protect our schools from digital threats ✅ They support teachers so classrooms can use the latest tools for instruction ✅ They rescue us when technology doesn't cooperate (and they do it with patience and a smile) ✅ They are innovators, always finding ways to make learning faster, safer, and more engaging In today's world, technology is the new chalkboard. Without these professionals, classrooms would fall silent. With them, students discover, teachers teach, and the future is built. So next time your screen lights up, your video plays, or your lesson connects across the world — remember: our IT team made it possible. 👏 So let's show them how much we appreciate their work! THANK YOU for making learning in D99 unstoppable. You don't just fix problems — you fuel futures! #WeMoveForwardTogether #AvanzamosJuntos #ITProfessionals

Through this one-of-a-kind cultural collaboration, Cicero students met virtually with peers from Jesus Maria Centros Educativos in Valencia to learn about the world-famous Fallas Festival, a vibrant celebration featuring incredible handmade sculptures, fireworks and parades honoring St. Joseph. Meanwhile, students in Valencia were exploring St. Patrick's Day in the U.S., diving into Irish culture just as our students were embracing the traditions of Spain.

🌍 D99 HUSBAND & WIFE TEACHER DUO BRING SPANISH, AMERICAN CULTURE TOGETHER IN THE MOST FASCINATING WAY 💙 Something truly special happened in Cicero District 99! Carlos Gil (fifth grade Dual Language teacher at Wilson) and Gema Villarino (Kindergarten Dual Language teacher at Goodwin) — who also happen to be husband and wife — brought an international learning experience to life, connecting our students with classrooms all the way in their hometown of Valencia, Spain!

At Wilson, Gil's fifth graders engaged in interactive sessions with students in Valencia, while at Goodwin, Villarino led fun arts and crafts projected inspired by Fallas. The result? A beautiful exchange of traditions, learning and global friendship! 👏 This is what education is all about — breaking barriers, fostering curiosity and celebrating diversity. Let's give a HUGE round of applause to these amazing educators for making the world feel a little smaller and a lot more connected!

🌟 FROM PUERTO RICO TO CICERO: INSPIRING STORIES OF DUAL LANGAUGE TEACHING STARS CATCH STATE'S ATTENTION 🌟 @D99Cicero is so proud to share that TWO of our incredible Dual Language teachers have been featured in the @ISBEnews "The Answer is Teaching" campaign, which inspires and recruits the next generation of educators! Valeria Matta Waid, a dedicated teacher at Cicero West, moved from Puerto Rico to follow her dream of becoming a dual-language teacher. In her video testimonial, she shares her heartfelt journey into education and why teaching is her calling. Her story showcases the passion and impact of dual language education in shaping young minds! Sadellys Ayuso, a talented teacher at Sherlock, also shines on the becomeateacher.com website. A language major from Puerto Rico, she discovered District 99 at a university job fair, and the connection was instant! With support from our Board of Education — helping find housing, daily breakfasts during training, and assistance with getting started — Sadellys found her place in our community. She believes Cicero is the perfect home from bilingual educators. 🎯 Why teach at Cicero District 99? We're committed to supporting our teachers, especially in the Dual Language program, because we know the value of creating a diverse, inclusive learning environment.
