To make sure all students get equal learning time throughout the year, there are times we adjust the schedule when there's a day off (like a Monday holiday). Instead of skipping that day, we ‘move’ the missed day to another day that week. This way, classes like PE, STEM, Art, and Music stay balanced for everyone!
How It Works
If there’s no school on a Monday, we might follow a Monday schedule on Tuesday or Thursday instead.
This helps all students get a fair number of learning days.
Schedule Change Dates
No school on Monday, Sept 7 → We run a Monday schedule on Thursday, Sept 10
No school on Monday, Jan 18 → We run a Monday schedule on Wednesday, Jan 20
No school on Tuesday, Jan 19 → We run a Tuesday schedule on Thursday, Jan 21
Why Adjust the Schedule?
Some days (like Mondays) are missed more often due to holidays. Here’s how the schedule gets more balanced:
This plan helps keep learning fair and consistent for all students. Thank you for your support!
School Physical and Immunization Requirements:
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!

Subject: 5th Grade Choir
Dear Families of 5th Grade Students,
We are thrilled to announce that this year D303 is once again offering a 5th Grade Choir Program for ALL elementary schools! This program will run in a similar fashion as the current Elementary Band and Orchestra programs, with a weekly before school rehearsal, but will NOT conflict with current band and orchestra rehearsals. The choir program will run from late September through May, with our first rehearsal being Monday, September 28th!
Choir will meet on Monday mornings at Wild Rose Elementary in the music room from 8:05 - 8:50 a.m. Parents / guardians are responsible for dropping their choir students off at Wild Rose. There will not be choir rehearsals on student non-attendance days.Students will also be asked to purchase a choir t-shirt. There will be 2 performance dates:
There is an ensemble fee to participate in choir. The fee for choir is $20.00 and will be billed to you through PushCoin a few weeks after you sign up.
one Tuesday, January 26th at East High School and one Monday, May 3rd featuring just the 5th grade choirs. The January 26th concert is called Vertical Voices and we will be singing with other choirs 5th-12th grade. It is a great opportunity for our younger choir members to see and hear what they do in middle and high school!
