Save the dates for our Back-to- School events across the district. We look forward to welcoming our students and families to the 2024-2025 school year very soon!
We are excited to have not only 1, but 2 Mokena SD 159 success story presentations at this year's Joint Annual Conference!
Watch out for us in the Mokena parade today! Happy 4th of July!
At last night's Board meeting, the Board approved the interim superintendent contract for Steve Stein. Previously, Stein served as the superintendent of Peotone 207-U and Mokena 159, and principal of MES. Welcome back to Mokena!
Dr. Johnson will serve as interim July 1-31. Stein will serve beginning August 1.
Today we opened the time capsule that the students and staff of Mokena 159 buried under the Playscape in 1997. We had so much fun looking at all of the treasures left inside 27 years ago!
We are holding a brief "Meet & Greet" with our incoming interim superintendent immediately following Monday's 6:00 pm Special Board Meeting. We hope you can join us!
Ms. Uva's and Ms. Ancira's classes won the annual 4th grade wiffle ball tournament at their class day at the park!
4th and 5th graders enjoyed their field day and annual park day!
Happy last day of school! 🎉🎉 Enjoy your summer!

Thank you to everyone that came out for the One Last Play on the wooden playscape! We had a blast and it was a wonderful way to cap off a wonderful almost three decades with the playground! Thanks for organizing, Mokena PTA!
