Please Make Sure Your Student/Students Have Headphones!
The beginning of the school year is a busy time for all of us. This is just a gentle reminder that headphones are on the school supply list. If your student/students haven't brought their headphones in yet, please have them bring them as soon as possible. Headphones are a needed and necessary tool for your child's learning. Thank you!
Updates on D303 Procedures
District 303 attendance procedures were updated and approved at the June 9, 2025, Board Meeting. All district procedures are available in the CUSD 303 Student Handbook found in the Parent/Community tab in the Information column of the districtd303.org website.
Updates to the attendance procedures were made to bring consistency across all schools within the district and to clarify student attendance expectations. One example of an update is the removal of the pre-arranged absence procedure. This aligns with the definitions of excused and unexcused absences found in Section 2.2.
Families are encouraged to review the CUSD 303 Student Handbook to familiarize themselves with the districtwide procedures.
Wild Rose Curriculum Night
Curriculum Night is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm This format will allow families to attend sessions for multiple teachers if necessary and ensure that they receive a comprehensive overview of what to expect throughout the school year. It also provides a chance for parents to understand classroom and homework expectations, and learn about the key curricular topics your children will explore.
Each classroom teacher will run two sessions:
6:00-6:25 Session 1
6:25-6:35 Break
6:35-7:00 Session 2
Please plan accordingly, this is an evening for parents to meet with their child's teacher. We look forward to a great evening!
