Kudos to our 5th grade choir students on an amazing performance at the 5th grade

choir festival! Our Munhall/Richmond choir students joined forces with over 200 5th grade choir students from across the district and sounded fantastic!

Attention Future 5th Grade Families! Does your child like to sing? 5th grade choir is open to all D303 5th grade students! 5th grade students interested in learning more about vocal technique, unison and part-singing, and team building, all through a rich variety of vocal music repertoire, are encouraged to join! 5th grade choir will be held before school, one morning a week, and registration will happen in the fall. Stay tuned!

Due to a conflict between Securly and i-Ready, Individual Student Results cannot be downloaded from a Student Chromebook at this time. Securly and the i-Ready team are working on a solution. In the meantime, please use the PC or Mac options. Or you may request a paper copy from your school. If you have a personal Chromebook, you can follow the directions for a PC below.

How to Access the i-Ready ISR

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you for being a part of D303, and we hope your student had a successful and enjoyable school year. As we transition into the summer months, we wanted to inform you that access to YouTube on district-issued Chromebooks will be temporarily disabled during the summer break for our elementary students. Restricting access to YouTube will help ensure that the technology provided to our students is used in ways that align with our educational goals. Our priority is to support safe, productive, and purposeful learning experiences on district-issued devices, even outside of the classroom.

Although YouTube will be restricted, your child will still have access to a variety of supplemental educational tools, including i-Ready and other approved digital resources.

Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering a productive and enriching learning environment for our students.

Dear Families,

As the school year comes to a close, the PTO would love to hear from you! Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we reflect on the events and activities we hosted this year and begin planning for next year.

This short survey (tinyurl.com ) is an opportunity to share your thoughts on what worked well, what could be improved, and any new ideas or changes you’d like to see. Whether you attended every event or just a few, your input will help us create experiences that better serve our students, families, and school community.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your feedback—we appreciate your support!
