From the Principal
- As we continue to have a schoolwide theme of belonging in September, I encourage you to ask your child what belonging sounds and looks like.
- We had a successful first PTO meeting. Thank you to our PTO, and all additional parents/guardians that joined us.
- Like I shared earlier in the week, individual diagnostic results will be sent home in students' backpacks on Friday, September 22.
- We will have a fire drill with the St. Charles Fire Department on Friday, September 22.
- Our Mun Run fundraiser is continuing to grow. Parents will be invited to stop by outside on this day to watch students run, and I will share that schedule next week.
- We will have a spirit week from 9/25 - 9/29. I will share specific information on this week sometime next week.
- There will be a student early release on Wednesday, September 27. Students are dismissed at 2:10 on these days.

Big Hearts of Fox Valley
For the 10th year in a row, D303 is again partnering with Big Hearts of Fox Valley, which supports families in need during the holiday season. Big Hearts of Fox Valley Holiday Giving Program's purpose is to provide holiday gifts for D303 students and their younger siblings whose families face significant financial hardship. Through Big Hearts, members of the D303 community anonymously shop for wish list items. D303 social workers will review applicants. If you are struggling and facing significant financial hardship and would like assistance providing holiday gifts to your children, click here.

D303 Parent Education Services
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.
