Weekly Update
August 20, 2025
District 204’s Volunteer Program, GIVE (Growing Involvement, Valuing Education) is continuing this year through the Raptor Technologies system. The GIVE Program, aligned with the district’s Strategic Plan, helps recruit and support volunteers across the district in areas such as Boosters, Fine Arts, LMC, PTA, and IPPC events.
To volunteer, please be sure to:
- Complete the district’s Consent Form (English or Spanish)
- Submit a new Online Application (English or Spanish) through the Raptor Technologies system.
- Upload the Consent Form into your Online Application.
Both forms are available on our Volunteer Program webpage. This process keeps volunteer records consistent across all District 204 schools.
Returning Volunteers (2025–26 School Year):
If you are a returning volunteer, you will need to reapply once your application expires. Raptor Technologies will email you directly when your volunteer status is about to expire.
If you have questions about the program, please contact Jeannie Dina, Assistant Director of Community Relations at jeannie_dina@ipsd.org.
The Indian Prairie Parents’ Council (IPPC), in partnership with District 204, is continuing the Families Helping Families program for a second year. This program provides support to families experiencing hardships or homelessness. By contributing monetary donations or gift cards, your support makes a difference for families in our community.
Donations will help under-resourced families at the start of the school year and during the winter holiday season. Community members can help by visiting the online store to purchase gift cards or donate.
The program runs throughout the end of the school year.
For questions, please contact IPPC 1st Vice President and Unity Chair, Amy Valley, at ippcpta@gmail.com. If your family is going through a difficult time, please reach out to your school social worker for support and resources.
The next regular Board of Education meeting is at 7 PM on Monday, September 8, 2025 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.
