As we approach the end of this academic year, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible dedication of educators that define our school. Today, we share some bittersweet news: several of our most esteemed colleagues have decided to embark on their next great adventure—retirement.

Please join us in celebrating the careers of:

• Lori Algrim - 1st Grade

• Katie Fellows - 4th Grade

• Mary Kane - Resource

• Gina Hesik-Zabadal - 4th Grade

Each of these educators have impacted and been an important thread in the "fabric" of Wild Rose. We will certainly be celebrating these individuals as we close the year. They have shaped the minds of our students and the culture of our hallways. While we will miss their daily presence, we are immensely grateful for the marks they’ve left on our hearts.

We are asking that every family complete this form for each of their students. The section on t-shirts is for one of the stations this year. This is a no cost t-shirt provided by the PTO.

WELCOME to Wild Rose!

Please see the sign up for our kindergarten welcome event that is on May 14th for you and your incoming kindergarten student.

Wild Rose 2026-2027 Kindergarten Survey

We are looking forward to meeting our new kindergarten students!

Mrs. Solomon

Attention parents of incoming Kindergarten, 6th and 9th grade students! Per Illinois school code, your student will need a school physical and a complete record of immunizations prior to the first day of school next year, which is August 12, 2026. 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. Please note - a sport physical is not the same as a school physical! You may turn the required forms into your school nurse anytime. Please remember to make a copy for your own records!

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!

Queremos conocer tu opinión sobre el estado de tus escuelas y las instalaciones educativas. A mediados de mayo, enviaremos a todo el Distrito 303 una tarjeta postal con una encuesta sobre las instalaciones. ¡Estate atento(a) a su llegada y comparte tu opinión!

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.
