D97 SCHOOL FEES

 *D97 School Fees are different than the Mann PTO dues

 

The mandatory D97 school fee for kindergarten is $180, which covers the cost of instructional materials, technology,  supervision before school, after school and during lunch.

 

If your child is interested in participating in the district’s food service program, the daily fees are $1.75 for breakfast, $2.80 for lunch and $0.45 for milk.

 

Your child may qualify for free and reduced priced meals in conjunction with the National School Lunch Program.

The application and requirements for this program will be made available on the district’s website over the summer.

KINDERGARTEN LIAISONS

Caroline Abrahams

I’m Caroline Abrahams and I’m excited to be the co-kindergarten liaison for the 2025-2026 school year. My husband Jonathan and I have a third grader, Lorelei and a kindergartener Natasha. We’ve lived in Oak Park since 2022 and been a part of the Mann community since then. Kindergarten is such a fun and important year for a child. Madeline and I are looking forward to an exciting year ahead and we’re here to help make this transition a little easier for families.

 

Madeline Reto

Hello Kindergarten families! I’m Madeline Reto, mom to Lily (now a first grader) and your co-kindergarten liaison this year alongside Caroline Abrahams. I remember how exciting, and sometimes overwhelming, the start of kindergarten at Mann can be, so please know you can reach out anytime with questions, big or small. We’re so happy to welcome you, and I hope your family loves being part of the Mann community as much as ours does!
