We are absolutely blown away. Because of your incredible generosity, we have raised enough to fund 85 MATTERboxes, which includes:

• 75 Snack Kits (That’s 3,000 individual nutritious snack packs for 303 kids facing food insecurity!)

• 10 Hope Kits (Providing 200 essential hygiene packs for 303 kids experiencing homelessness!)
  
  

These resources will go directly to students within District 303 who need them most, ensuring they have the fuel and care they deserve to succeed.

The Goal is Met—Now We Need the Hands!

The funding is secured, but the work is just beginning. We have 85 MATTERbox kits to assemble, and we can’t do it alone. We are calling on our entire BG community to help us cross the finish line.

This is a volunteer opportunity for EVERYONE. Whether you were able to donate a box or not, we want you there! This is a powerful, hands-on way for our kids and parents to come together and make a tangible impact on our community.

Event Details:

• When: Thursday, May 14th

• Time: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM (Let's see how fast we can pack!)

• Where: Bell Graham Elementary

• What: We’ll be packing snacks, assembling hygiene kits, and writing "You Matter" notes to accompany every single pack.
  
  

Why Join Us?

This is more than just a packing event; it’s a chance to show our D303 neighbors that they aren't alone. It's a fun, fast-paced hour of service that teaches our students the power of community.

We’ll see you on the 14th! Let’s show everyone what a community with Bell-Graham heart can do.

The For Families diagnostic results report is easily accessible from your child’s i-Ready dashboard. In lieu of being backpacked home, this will be considered the primary method for providing these results to you. Please click the button for directions on how to access the report.

Please note: The code for accessing reports is only good for the current school year. Once the school year is over the code no longer works, so please print or download your student’s report

as soon as possible.

Field Day 2026 will be held on Tuesday, May 26th. This school-wide, full day of activities is always a highlight of the year! It will be a day full of fun, movement, and school spirit—whether we are inside or outside.

Students will rotate through a variety of exciting stations including inflatables, art, STEM activities, PE games, and music.

We would love your help in making this a fun and successful day for our students!

Order supplies from School Tool Box or shop on your own; you pick!

Bell-Graham has a Visor Tag System for car riders. Families are provided a Visor Tag with their name on it. This tag is to be displayed on your passenger visor, visible to BG staff as you pull through the pick-up line. The use of the visor tag helps to expedite our car pick-up line, as it allows staff members to get the students ready as the cars arrive.

If you need additional visor tags, please email Mrs. Kirincich.

Please be sure to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothing for recess.

Please label your child's jacket, gloves, hat, etc. whenever possible. It helps us return items to their owner if they end up in lost & found.

You can email your child's teacher directly from HAC. After logging in, click on the "classes" image on the top menu. You will be able to view your child's schedule. Each of your child's teachers are listed under "teacher." If you right click on a name, you are given a "copy email address" option.

Our lost & found is conveniently located in the lunch room where every student has a daily opportunity to look for lost items. Please encourage your child to check for misplaced items. Don't forget to label as much as possible. We regularly donate unclaimed items.

We appreciate our volunteers and value your time. When you are in the building for any reason, please be respectful of classroom instruction and do not make unexpected visits to your child's classroom. Thank you for helping us minimize classroom disruptions.

At the April 27 meeting of the School Board’s Business Services Committee, D303 Leadership gave a presentation that includes a timeline of Board discussions about the D303 Communitywide Education Facilities Committee’s Final Report, which includes support for 16 facilities investments totaling an estimated $295.6 million. The presentation also includes an overview of D303’s budgeting process and strong fiscal stewardship.

The latest episode of the Voices of D303 podcast includes visits to Wild Rose Elementary School and North High School, to give the community a firsthand look at facilities challenges faced every day by D303 students, staff, and families. Check out this clip with North High School Athletic Director Joe Benoit.

We want your feedback on the condition of your schools and learning facilities. In mid-May, we will be sending all of D303 a postcard that includes a Facilities Survey. Please keep an eye out for it and share your feedback!
