Retake Picture Day is 11/30/23! If you're satisfied with your child's picture, no further action is required.

If you purchased and were unhappy with your Picture Package, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day. Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook.

Students who were absent for Picture Day should come to school prepared to have their picture taken. If you have not preordered, please use the Retake Order Code 78098RB to place your order at https://inter-state.com/Order. To see your Order History, check your Inter-State Account.

Jim Wheeler’s Toys for Kids campaign distributes toys to less fortunate children. New, unwrapped toys, books, art supplies and games can be dropped off now to December 6, 2023. The collection box is located in the main lobby near the front entrance.

Our mid-year iReady Diagnostic window is December 4th - December 15th. Please see this letter with information from our assessment department including how to access your child's results through the iReady Dashboard.

Spirit Mornings are back! Each month we have a theme to welcome students into their school day. If you are interested in helping bring some excitement to school drop off from 7:40 - 8:00 am, sign up here.

If you have a planned absence, please be sure to use our pre-arranged absence form. This allows our classroom teachers and office to be prepared for your absence. Please reach out to Audrey Hughes with any questions.

We have many students who have negative balances on their lunch account. This means they cannot purchase a la carte items, or purchase a second lunch if they are still hungry. Please check to ensure your child has an up-to-date account on PushCoin.

District 303 is pleased to present its lineup of Parent Education sessions for the 2023-2024 school year.

The Parent Education series (formerly Parent University) includes informational meetings and workshops intended to empower parents and guardians to support their children’s academic, social and emotional needs. Become informed on specialized topics, engage in two-way dialogue with speakers and fellow parents, and become a support resource for others.

Sessions for this school year will focus on bullying prevention, addressing anxiety, and include film screenings and discussions about the impact of screen time and cultural awareness. The schedule also includes college preparation workshops hosted by our high schools. Sessions were selected based in part on feedback from District 303 parents.

Explore the full lineup of sessions here. Signup forms for each session will be made available closer to the session dates. New this year, you can also register for Parent Education notifications and receive alerts as new information and session recaps become available.
