Classroom Assignments Classroom Assignments

Wild Rose Families -


With the district's shift to a new management system, communication regarding classroom placements for students will look a little different this year.


All elementary families will be receiving an email message communicating their child's classroom teacher on Friday, July 31st prior to 4:00 PM. This will be sent through FinalSite, which is the system we use to send our Wild Rose weekly newsletters (Panther Press). If you do not see an email by the end of the day on July 31st, please check your Spam folder.


Teachers will reach out to introduce themselves through email prior to the first day of school.

As a reminder, we will host "Backpack Night" on Monday, August 10th from 4:00 - 6:00. Students will be able to drop off supplies and meet teachers at that time. More information will be sent out prior to this date. Picture day is also ALL DAY on August 10th in the community room from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. We highly recommend families come throughout the day to get their pictures done.


We can't wait to see our students and families soon!

NEW INFORMATION SYSTEM NEW INFORMATION SYSTEM

D303's New Student Information System Called Synergy

Dear Parent/Guardian,

All schools in St. Charles CUSD 303 have moved to Synergy SIS as the district’s new student information system, replacing HAC (Home Access Center). ParentVUE is the secure parent/guardian portal where you will be able to view your student's information, such as grades, report cards, attendance, and online registration.

Please activate your ParentVUE account by following the steps below.

Activate Your Account

Click here to begin: ParentVUE Account Activation

  1. Review the Privacy Statement.

  2. Click I Accept at the bottom of the page.

  3. Create your username and password, and enter your email address.

  4. Click Complete Account Activation.

You will then be logged into ParentVUE!

Important Notes

  • Initially, you will see one tile: Student Information.

    • Student Information: We kindly ask that you click into Student Information and verify that your student’s information is accurate. If edits are necessary, click Edit Information.

  • On August 10 in the afternoon, you will see additional information and tiles in the portal.

  • Each parent/guardian should create their own account. Do not share accounts.

  • You only need one account, even if you have multiple children enrolled in the district.

  • You must activate your web portal account before using the mobile app.

  • Students in middle and high school will receive their own StudentVUE accounts, which provide similar information. Please do not give your student(s) your ParentVUE login credentials.

Using the ParentVUE Mobile App

  1. Download the free ParentVUE app by Edupoint from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

  2. Open the app and either allow location services or type your zip code, then tap the district name.

  3. Log in using the username and password you created during activation.

If you need assistance, please contact your student's school.

Thank you for completing your ParentVUE activation!


Sincerely,
St Charles Community Unit School District 303

Make your appointments today. These appointments fill up quickly! Please contact your school nurse prior to May 27, 2026 if you need a copy of your child's immunizations.
