It’s time to order WMS (Clap out) tour shirts for your 5th-grade student!
This year, in addition to the tour shirt, we are also offering spirit wear for those interested. While purchasing the tour/ clapout shirt is optional, most students choose to wear them when they tour WMS in May. This year, we are using a company for all of our spirit wear purchases. When ordering through this company, all orders will be delivered to the address provided upon purchase.
Timelines:
1. The store is open at the link below (Please note that it can take 7-10 business days to get items delivered through this company, so plan accordingly)
2. Double-check sizing for your child before purchasing.
3. Parents can always reach out to our customer service department at customersupport@1stplacespiritwear.com or amanda@1stplacespiritwear.com.
4. WMS link for tour shirts: SHOP ALL The Tour shirt has the school year 2029. The shirt is pictured above.
MEDICATION AT SCHOOL
Medication whether prescription or over the counter can not be administered at school without a medication form completed by your child's physician. Please do not send medication in your child's lunchbox or backpack. The medication needs to be dropped off by an adult in the office in its original packaging with the doctor's order.
Please call 331-228-3000 to report absences and choose option "1" or email Sharon Flanigan at sharon.flanigan@d303.org
- Messages can be left 24 hours a day.
- Please leave your name, your child's name, your phone number, reason for the absence and your child's symptoms if ill.
- If you have alerted your student's teacher of the absence by email, please copy in sharon.flanigan@d303.org as well, to avoid an attendance verification daily call.
Please refer to Chapter 2 of the 2025-2026 Student Handbook for detailed district attendance policies and procedures. Click the button below for the handbook!
D303 Attendance Procedures Update
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.
NEW VACATION POLICY:
The pre-arranged absence form and procedure are no longer in use
Vacations during school days are discouraged and will be considered unexcused absences
This change aligns with our commitment to maximizing instructional time for all students
We recognize that families sometimes need flexibility for travel or special circumstances. While we strongly encourage scheduling family trips during school breaks and holidays, we understand that this isn't always possible. We ask for your partnership in minimizing absences during the school year whenever feasible.
Families are encouraged to review the CUSD 303 Student Handbook to familiarize themselves with the districtwide procedures.
