Superintendent's Message

Dr. Teresa Hill

March 17, 2025

Dear South Holland School District 151 Families,

Hello Spring! Taft, Eisenhower, Madison, and Coolidge Middle School will have Spring Break/Intersession from Monday, March 31 through Friday, April 4.  Spring Intersession programs will take place Tuesday, April 8 through Friday, April 11. All students will return to school on Monday, April 14, 2025, for the fourth quarter of the school year. 

Student Safety

At this time of year, we always like to provide families with some safety reminders. This year, our community has seen an increase in children gaining access to THC and marijuana products as well as Vape pens. Because these items are so common and may be used legally by adults, children are sometimes tempted to try them. Unfortunately, a child’s use of these products can lead to severe health problems as well as major consequences if children possess them at school, on a bus or bus stop, on school grounds, or at a school sponsored event. 

We encourage all families to talk with children and teens about vaping and using marijuana products. Even if you do not have these products in your home, children can gain access to them elsewhere. It is important that they know that they should not use these items and should let you know immediately if someone offers them a vape pen or a marijuana product. 

While the children are off for Spring Break, please take some time to talk with your child about this issue and take steps to keep all our children safe.
