This week is National Principal Appreciation Week. Please join us in recognizing our outstanding principals this week and their dedication and partnership to Naperville 203.

A reimagined Algebra 2 course and a new Career Internship class focused on work-based learning will be available to students at Naperville Central and Naperville North next year!

As we continue to recognize Bullying Awareness Month in Naperville 203, the district has revised its process for families to Report Bullying. There is now a link to Report Bullying under the “Resources” dropdown menu on the homepage of the district and all school websites. Building leaders will receive an alert when a submission from their school is received.

Bullying, intimidation, and harassment diminish a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate. Preventing students from engaging in these disruptive behaviors and providing all students equal access to a safe, non-hostile learning environment are important District goals.

Naperville 203 community and staff members enjoyed an evening celebrating Hispanic and Latin American contributions to our community last week during our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.

Naperville 203 General Home & School is seeking your feedback to establish an accurate idea of the perception of Home & School, what is working, and what can be improved upon. Each school will receive the answers pertaining to their school for review so that they can work together with you to make Home & School as successful as possible for all students and families.

Families are asked to submit anonymous responses by November 1.

Students are invited to participate in the Crosstown Classic Races from 4-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20, at Naperville North. Click below to register. This is NOT a drop-off event.

Using the latest developments in science and research gleaned from captains of industry, entrepreneurs, academics, and futurists, GPS speaker Dr. Madeline Levine identifies the skills that children need to succeed in turbulent times: adaptability, curiosity, collaboration, tolerance for failure, and optimism.

Using her original research and the latest in neuroscience and psychology, Cain describes how, for over a century, the value of extroverts has been glorified to the detriment of innovation, productivity, and the hidden strengths of introverts – who make up about one third of the population.

Dr. Martha Angel will share tolerance skills to help young people balance their emotions and create a positive environment.
