When weather or other emergencies dictate that school cannot be open for students, Naperville 203 may use e-Learning days to provide our students with a continuation of learning. If Naperville 203 plans to use an e-Learning day, the district will communicate early, using different modes of communication so all students, families, and guardians are aware of the learning structure.

Please join us tonight for a powerful discussion about what it means to "BELONG in 203" at 6 p.m. at Naperville North. Dinner will be served at no cost and raffle prizes will be awarded!

The Rotary Club of Naperville in partnership with the Quilts of Valor Foundation honored Staff Sergeant Richard Bain for his service in the U.S. Army with a Quilt of Valor today at the Rotary Salutes Veterans Luncheon. Staff Sergeant Bain was first stationed in Anchorage Alaska but in 2006 was deployed to Iraq in the Airborne Infantry where he served until 2007. Later he reenlisted, and was selected to become part of the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery, Ft. Myers, VA. As a Non Commissioned Officer he had the honor of leading teams whose responsibilities were to receive the remains of our fallen veterans from overseas. Mr. Bain is an Assistant Principal at Madison Jr. High School. Thank you Mr. Bain for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.
