Take the 5 Essentials Survey to let us know how we are doing as a school. It is available in Spanish and English. You are encouraged to take the survey for each of your children, even if they attend the same school.

Please be sure to put in Kane County as our county so you can find Fox Ridge. Also, please read the questions and possible answers carefully as they sometimes mix up the "importance" of the responses.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

It's easy to get overwhelmed, frustrated and even angry when your child is having a meltdown. Join us to learn what happens to the body when feeling overwhelmed, under attack, hijacked and helpless and how you can help to support your child during this difficult times. Jennifer Rosinia will review the body's stress response system and help parents recognize sensory processing challenges. She'll describe and discuss 3 stages of a meltdown, beginning with triggers, signs and symptoms that a meltdown may be starting, and share strategies parents can use to prevent and intervene at each stage.

All STAR NET workshops & webinars are free of charge. Funding assistance to attend training events is available to families of young children with IEPs. For more information visit Family Fellowship Info or our website at https://starnetregionii.org

This is a FREE, in person event on Wednesday, March 13, from 6 - 7:30 PM in Addison.

Dr Rosinia will present this in English, but there will be a translator and headsets available for those who wish to hear the information in Spanish.

The District 303 Board has approved boundary maps for elementary, middle, and high schools. Maps are effective with the 2024-2025 school year beginning this fall. The Board's decision completes a process that began last fall to reduce school overcrowding and help to ensure equitable learning experiences across the District. District 303 had contracted with demographer RSP & Associates to create concept maps based on Board-approved guiding principles and community feedback. Please see the parent notice from Superintendent Gordon to learn more and review the approved maps.

Our Early Childhood Department will be moving to a renovated Haines Center for the 2024-25 school year. This includes all of our classrooms and programming currently at Fox Ridge. Construction begins at Haines Center in March 2024. We will be sharing the Haines building with Compass Academy and construction plans include distinct, separate and secure spaces for our preschoolers and the high school students during student attendance hours.

Hours for our next school year have been released which include a change at Early Childhood.

Outdoor play continues throughout all the seasons at Fox Ridge, weather permitting, and is an important part of our curriculum. Classrooms go outside as long as conditions are safe to do so and the temperature, including wind-chill, is above 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Please be sure your preschooler has clothes appropriate for outdoor play daily. If weather prohibits outdoor play (e.g., raining, too cold, or hazardous conditions like ice present) classrooms use one of our indoor motor areas. If you are in need of a warmer coat for your child please contact Tricia Sabathne, Child and Family Educator, at tricia.sabathne@d303.org
