Dear Parents/Guardians,
Please keep in mind that April 10th and 11th are important testing days this week for our freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Additionally, Wednesday, April 10 is NOT a late arrival date. Students should report for a normal day start time of 7:45 a.m. Please refer to this linked chart for specific details for each grade level.
Also, a huge thank you to our community of parents, students and staff who make each day memorable for our school community! As usual, our NNHS facilities were in full use on Saturday and our students were busy happily representing the Blue and Orange in so many ways! I'm always so proud to see our many activities and athletics practicing, preparing, performing and competing on behalf of the Huskie family. Thank you to everyone who devotes their time and energy to the traditions like Senior Celebration as well as the seasonal teams and events that make Naperville North such an amazingly special place. Your dedication and care does not go unnoticed!!
Thank you for entrusting your students to our care.

Naperville 203 Family Resource Fair: Join us on Saturday, April 13th for our second Family Resource Fair. The event will be held from 10-12 PM in the Naperville Central High School Cafeteria. Naperville 203 is surrounded by several community resources which benefit our students and families. There will be over 50 organizations sharing information. Our goal is to provide a “one-stop location” for families to access, speak with, and gain knowledge of resources, programs, services and supports that benefit families within our community. All are welcome.
Girls State 2024: This American Legion Auxiliary Program provides citizenship training for approximately 500 High School Junior-Senior girls. Attendees become citizens of cities within counties. Two political parties campaign for offices; elected officials then assume duties as Illini Girls State officials. Residency will be within campus dorms. The goal is to provide awareness of the responsibilities, rights and privileges of being American citizens while participating in the functioning of government. The program draws together the best and brightest high school students from Illinois, during the summer before their senior year, to help lead them down the path of individual success and leadership.
Applications can be found at alaigs.org. Naperville Post #43 will cover enrollment costs. Transportation is NOT provided. Girls are not allowed cars on campus. Please have girls send completed applications to my address listed below. We are again committed to sponsoring at least two+ girls from each High School. If you have others interested in attending please do not hesitate to contact me. We have sent more from individual schools in the past and will do so again if you have motivated students. You can find out more about Girls State by visiting the website.
Please inform those interested in attending that we pay for this up front. When someone cancels, we get no refund and depending on the notice a substitution may be difficult to find. Therefore, we are only seeking individuals who are committed to attend. Please feel free to contact me for any other information you may need and I will make every effort to facilitate the enrollment process. Thank you for your assistance and dedication.
