Safety Drills
On September 19th, Wild Rose will be conducting our state required annual Lockdown Drill during which students will review and practice the classroom procedures. Parents/guardians may opt their child out of the physical participation in this drill each year by emailing Principal Theresa Solomon at Theresa.Solomon@d303.org at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled date. Students who have been opted out will receive an alternative school safety learning experience with a certified staff member.
i-Ready Testing is Complete!
The i-Ready fall SY 2025-26 diagnostic assessments window has been completed. Please click here for *instructions on how to access your student's results via their i-Ready dashboard. You may contact your child’s school if a hard copy of the report is needed.
*Please note: The code for accessing reports is only good for the current school year. Once the school year is over the code no longer works, so please print or download your student’s report as soon as possible. The instructions will be updated each year with a new code.
More information about i-Ready is available at https://sites.google.com/d303.org/i-readyresources/home
i-Ready diagnostic assessments are computer-based assessments that adjust to each child’s mathematics and reading ability levels, and provides students with practice lessons at their level based on the results of the diagnostic assessments. These are found in the MyPath section of i-Ready.
The assessment data is to help understand where your child is in relation to grade level standards, provide for practice and assignments at your child’s academic level, and monitor academic growth this school year.
If you have questions regarding your child’s scores, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or building principal. You are also welcome to contact me at 331.228.4911 or david.chiszar@d303.org.

Información adicional sobre i-Ready está disponible en el siguiente enlace: https://sites.google.com/d303.org/i-readyresources/home
Las evaluaciones de diagnóstico de i-Ready son evaluaciones computarizadas que se ajustan a los niveles de habilidades de matemáticas y lectura de cada niño(a), y proporciona a los estudiantes lecciones de práctica a su nivel basados en los resultados de la evaluación de diagnóstico. Estas se encuentran en la sección de “MyPath” en i-Ready.
Los datos de la evaluación son para ayudar a comprender dónde se encuentra su hijo(a) en relación con los estándares del nivel de grado, proporcionar la práctica y las tareas en el nivel académico de su hijo(a) y supervisar el crecimiento académico este año escolar.
Si tiene preguntas sobre los resultados de su hijo(a), siéntase libre de contactar al maestro(a) de su hijo(a) o al director(a) de la escuela. También puede contactarme por teléfono al 331.228.4911 o por correo, david.chiszar@d303.org.

Updates on D303 Procedures
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.
Families are encouraged to review the CUSD 303 Student Handbook to familiarize themselves with the districtwide procedures.
