Weekly Update
October 18, 2023
As our schools and students settle into their routines, it is now time to focus on the support systems that many of our schools rely heavily on, and that is the parent organizations such as PTAs/PTSAs. At the high school level, it also includes the Athletic Boosters, Band/Chorus/ Orchestra/Theatre/Music Boosters, and PAGES/PATHS/PACES just to name a few.
Our school district is fortunate to have such a strong parent volunteer system at every school. These are the groups that organize classroom parties, school directories, and many of the fun events you and your children look forward to every year. In addition, many of the groups provide funding to enhance student and staff opportunities as well as coordinate Teacher Appreciation events.
Membership dues and donations allow each group to support their school and students every year. I thank everyone who has already joined and encourage anyone who has not yet joined to visit this school organization information.
Support your school’s Charity Running Team as they get ready to run this Sunday, October 22nd! The Indian Prairie Educational Foundation (IPEF) thanks our Charity Heroes for raising funds for our district-wide student support programs and our schools! Half of all funds raised by our runners goes directly back into their schools. Visit the Team IPEF webpage to see the Team IPEF members that are representing your school and support them with a donation.
The next regular Board of Education meeting is at 7 PM on Monday, November 6, 2023 at the Crouse Education Center, 780 Shoreline Drive, Aurora. Meeting agendas and documents will be available online prior to the meeting. Video of the regular meeting can be streamed live or viewed the following day at the District’s YouTube channel.
