It has been a very busy week! We have officially completed the IAR assessment. Our fifth grade students will take the Illinois Science Assessment next week and all students will engage in the iready spring diagnostic the week of May 4th.

There are many wonderful celebrations ahead. We continue to look for volunteers for our Camp Wild Rose Event that is next Friday, please consider signing up.

Please be sure to RSVP the volunteer luncheon on morning of May 12th if you are able to make it. If you have volunteered in any capacity this year you are invited! We would love to show you our appreciation for all that our volunteers do.

There is also the sign-up to welcome our incoming kindergarten students for May 14th.

The Chicago Union is coming back to St. Charles this weekend for their annual preseason training camp.

The clinic will be at 11AM on Sunday at Thompson Middle School, 705 W Main Street, St. Charles. The Union coaches & players will be on the far west side of campus, on the grass field right next to the track.

Dear Parents,

As we wrap up our Cougar Reading Challenge, we wanted to send a quick reminder to keep an eye out for an important paper coming home in your child’s backpack. This paper contains information about claiming your child’s ticket reward.

We know how easily papers can get misplaced, so we encourage you to check backpacks and folders in the coming days to make sure you don’t miss it.

Thank you for supporting your reader!

Best regards,

Gretchen Layman

Superintendent Dr. Paul Gordon shared the details of the April 13 meeting of the School Board, where members of the D303 Communitywide Education Facilities Committee joined district leadership in presenting and discussing the Committee’s Final Report.

“I feel we’re at a crossroads,” D303 parent and Facilities Committee Member Alice Froemling told the School Board. “We have great staff, great teachers, great people who are in our schools every day working with our kids. But we’ve achieved our great success not because of our facilities but in spite of our facilities… We have to do something.”

El superintendente, el Dr. Paul Gordon, compartió los detalles de la reunión de la Junta Educativa del 13 de abril, en la que los miembros del Comité de Instalaciones Educativas de toda la comunidad del Distrito 303 se unieron al equipo de liderazgo del distrito para presentar y discutir el Informe Final del Comité.

“Creo que nos encontramos en una encrucijada”, declaró ante la Junta Educativa Alice Froemling, madre de un estudiante del Distrito 303 y miembro del Comité de Instalaciones. “Contamos con un personal excelente, unos maestros magníficos y personas maravillosas que están en nuestras escuelas cada día trabajando con nuestros hijos. Pero hemos logrado nuestro gran éxito no gracias a nuestras instalaciones, sino a pesar de ellas… Tenemos que hacer algo.”

District 303 is proud to partner with the Glenbard Parent Series (GPS) to offer our families broader access to information sessions and resources that support their child’s development.

For decades, GPS has been offering free programs that aim to empower and strengthen families, individuals and communities. As a partner organization, District 303 will support promoting upcoming programs and their importance to our local community.

All current band students are invited and encouraged to attend the Summer Band Camp from July 20th - 30th. This fun camp will help you keep up your playing skills over the summer and better prepare you for next school year.
