This week’s first snow is a great reminder to make sure the contact information you’ve provided the District is up-to-date. We want to ensure you’re getting timely alerts on inclement weather operations and other important notifications. Please take a moment to do the following:

View Notification Preferences/Enable Text Messages
District 303 will send notifications to families through the ParentLink system by text message, phone call and email based on your settings. Parents/guardians can view and edit their contact settings through the Home Access Center.
To receive timely emergency communications, we strongly encourage families to enable text notifications. For most people, this is the fastest way to receive and view important messages. Here’s how:

• From the HAC main menu, select the “registration” tab to view your contact settings
• Select the “edit” button to change your contact settings
• To enable text message notifications, enter your cell phone number in the SMS/text message field
• Select the “save” button

Users can only update their child(ren) and personal contact information. You will not be able to make changes to another parent/guardian's contact information. For updates to emergency contact people, please reach out to the school directly.

Thank you for your orders! They will be sent home with your student before winter break. If you marked them as gifts then they will be held in the main office for pick up on 12/20 or 12/21.

There will not be a PTO meeting in December. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, January 19th at 7:00pm. The location moves to Richmond for the rest of the school year.

The planning is underway for an Adult Trivia Night on Thursday, February 9th. We need you to join the committee! Please email jennaferhancock@gmail.com to receive meeting information.

Keep those pictures coming our way for possible inclusion in the yearbook. Send them to dryearbook2022@gmail.com

Our Lost & Found is overflowing! If your child is missing something please stop by the office to take a look.

St. Charles 5th graders participate in a Too Good for Drugs program by the St. Charles Police Department. Former Richmond students came back to talk to 5th graders during this week’s lesson.

If you'd like to provide any input on our One School One Book program, please share your thoughts through this brief survey by next Friday, December 9th. Thank you to those who already provided feedback!
