Lake Forest D67 Board of Education
E-learning discussed during virtual meeting
Christa Rooks
Freelance Reporter
The Lake Forest District
67 Board of Education
reviewed the district’s
plan for e-learning at its
regular meeting on Tuesday,
March 17, held virtually
via a video conference
call.
This was per an order
by Gov. J.B. Pritzker to
suspend the physical presence
requirement under
the Open Meetings Act to
all public bodies across the
state due to the spread of
the coronavirus.
District 67 began e-
learning on the same day
of the meeting, and the district
was already receiving
positive feedback about
the transition.
“What happened at my
home today was great,”
board member Suzanne
Sands said. “My kids had
a fantastic experience and
THE GLENCOE ANCHOR
New services from
restaurants support
residents, employees
In these trying times,
everyone is looking for
comfort.
Richard Salberg and his
team at Valor restaurant
are taking that literally,
introducing a new menu
of comfort foods, offered
family-style, available
while restaurants are shut
down to in-person dining.
Governor J.B. Pritzker
announced Monday,
March 16 that all Illinois
bars and restaurants were
to shutter in-person service
in efforts to limit the
spread of the coronavirus,
I think that based on what
I’m hearing from other
people in the community, it
was a source of great pride
to people how responsive
and well-prepared our district
was for this.”
Director of Innovation
Renee Fitzsimmons, and
Director of Teaching and
Learning Jeff McHugh,
outlined how the district
is using learning management
systems to keep students
engaged during this
period of e-learning.
Teachers are currently
utilizing different ways to
connect with students, such
as through email, Seesaw,
a learning management
system, Google Classroom
and Schoology. The district
also created a special
e-learning website with
tools like frequently asked
questions, different activities
for students and a suggested
student work time
which as of publish time
had infected more than
4,000 Americans.
In response, eateries all
over the state have worked
to provide alternative services,
like carryout and
delivery.
Valor’s comfort menu
includes main dishes like
beef ragout with creamy
mashed potatoes and
chicken stew (Vesuvio
style), and soups like tomato
chili bisque and chicken
noodle. Both mains and
soups come in 32-ounce
containers. Valor also is
offering a pint worth of
L’Ami Jean Rice Pudding,
with salted caramel, pistachios
and cinnamon.
Just down the street,
for households in need of a
structured schedule.
“We’ve been having
teachers do direct instruction
via video conferencing
or screencast,” Fitzsimmons
said. “And then they
send the kids to links to do
practice … and we’re also
seeing a lot of teachers
having their students reflect
and make that learning
stick by actually thinking
about what they did in their
digital portfolios or in some
reflective tool.”
In addition to the electronic
activities being
provided, teachers also
sent home non-electronic
work, specifically in
younger grades. Modified
assignments are also being
provided to students with
special needs and/or IEPs.

Hometown Coffee & Juice
has initiated similar services,
as owner Lou Rubin
said his shop has been fortunate
because it already
had an order-ahead app.
“Our first day complying
with the governor’s
order went very well,”
Rubin said in an email.
“Fortunately, we were
well-prepared to change
our process exclusively to
carryout.”
Hometown also added
curbside pickup and delivery.
