Naperville School District 203 families and community members are cordially invited to attend the Ann Reid Early Childhood Center Ribbon Cutting and Community Open House on Sunday, September 12, 2010 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. The Ann Reid Early Childhood Center is located at 1011 S. Naper Blvd. Teachers welcomed more than 260 students to the 44,000 square foot facility last Friday for their first day of instruction.

PHYSICAL & HEALTH-RELATED FORMS – If you have questions about health requirements or would like to download health-related forms, please visit the Health Services section of the District 203 website.

SCHOOL MILK/LUNCH PRICES UNCHANGED – The price of milk and meals provided by Sodexo, our school lunch provider, remains unchanged from last school year. The combo lunch offered at the elementary and junior high school is $2.05, while the high school combo hot lunch remains $2.15. Reduced priced lunch, now available at all grade levels, is $.40. Each meal includes a choice of entrée, fruits, vegetables and milk.

LUNCH PAYMENT OPTIONS – Over 60% of parents use the convenience of the debit lunch system to pay for school meals rather than sending cash each day. If parents would like to use the debit system, there are a variety of options for depositing funds into a student’s debit account.

REVIEW SAFE SCHOOL WALK ROUTES – As students return back to school, parents are encouraged to review safe school walk routes with their children. Walking maps are available on the District 203 website under Links to Schools.

FREE/REDUCED-PRICE MEAL APPLICATIONS – District 203 offers free and reduced-price school meals and milk to those students who qualify under the National School Lunch Program, which has been expanded to all schools. Children from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible for the programs (please see application for details). The cost for a reduced priced lunch is $.40, including milk.

Perhaps you were one of many who viewed the debut of the 60 minute documentary on ESPN Sunday, August 29^th. “'Boys of Fall' captures the essence of what makes playing football so special.  In high school football and beyond, it's a life experience as much as it is a sports experience,” says John Dahl, executive producer, ESPN Films. After shooting footage of friend and New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton at his high school alma mater, Naperville Central High School, country music star Kenny Chesney decided to expand the video into a full documentary film.
