Additionally, for safety, please remain in your vehicle and have students exit via doors on the passenger side of the vehicle.

  • Before School Play

    As stated in our handbook, students may not play on the playground before school. This includes using playground equipment, as well as other games and activities. Our expectation is that when students arrive on school grounds after 8:00 AM, they enter the building and begin settling in for the school day.

  • Roller Skating

    Attention 3rd-5th graders: Our Roller Skating Unit is quickly approaching! We will be skating from 10-22 to 11-2 during your PE periods. Skatetime provides the rollers skates, helmets and wrist guards, however, if you would like to bring your own helmet or wrist guards from home, feel free! Please do not bring your own skates-we have to use their skates to ensure they will not scuff up the gym floor. Please practice tying your shoes so we have more time to skate! Thank you SOOOO much Home and School for funding this exciting unit!

    Luckily the rain held off on Wednesday morning for International Walk-to-School Day.  It was great to see so many families and students walking together to school. It was awesome to see that Wiley the Wildcat made an appearance too.

  • We Are Maplebrook!

    Posted by Karen Buell on 8/24/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families:

     

    We had a great first full week of school!. Our Wildcats deserve so much of the credit for working hard this week and for demonstrating PROWL (Persistence, Respect, Ownership, Welcoming, Leadership) traits at Maplebrook.  Our week was capped off by an all school assembly where we were able to gather together and celebrate for the first time this year.  We wanted to be sure that all of our new Wildcats feel welcome and part of the Maplebrook community.  We wanted each student to recognize that together WE make Maplebrook a special place, that WE all have the responsibility to show PROWL, and that collectively WE ARE MAPLEBROOK!  We took an all school photo (thanks Greg Mulvey!) with every student wearing their new “We Are Maplebrook” t-shirt.  We’re hoping to celebrate our pride in Maplebrook this year by showing our school spirit every Friday.  Now, every student has at least one item they can choose to wear on Fridays, but please look to expand your Maplebrook Spirit Wear collection, thanks to the great options that Home & School is offering. 

    We Are Maplebrook!

  • New Beginnings

    Posted by Karen Buell on 8/17/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families:

     

    What a great first two days of school we’ve had!  Our new Wildcats have transitioned very well into their classrooms.  It was wonderful to see all of the smiling faces and to watch them engage in meaningful learning activities, while fostering new friendships and developing strong relationships with their teachers and other staff.

    Now that the year is up and running, I want thank our Home & School Board and the H&S/SFCP volunteers that helped with school supplies, a welcome back breakfast for staff, the Teddy Bear Picnic, and those that served as greeters this first week.  Thank you so much for the hours of service that you give to Maplebrook as volunteers. Looking for opportunities on how to get involved this year? Click here for the H&S SignUpGenius to see what’s available.

  • End of the Year

    Posted by Karen Buell on 5/25/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families,

     

    Wow!  It’s hard to believe that our school year is over.  We started the day with an awesome awards assembly where we were able to celebrate and acknowledge many of our students.  That program ended in an epic dance party since we hit our building goal of 5000 PROWL Prints. Throughout the day, our students were able to celebrate and reflect on all of their growth this year.  They were able to enjoy the gorgeous weather during a picnic-style outdoor lunch. We concluded our day with our annual “Clap Out” for our 5th Graders. We wish them well in junior high. Please be sure to congratulate your student(s) on all of their growth and successes this year!  Please find time to read some good books this summer. If you find any books in backpacks or bedrooms that say “Maplebrook,” please be sure to drop those off at school this summer. Thank you for your support of your student(s) and your continued partnership in learning! Have a wonderful summer!  I can’t wait to see our K-4 students back in August!

    Have a nice summer,

  • End of Year Celebrations

    Posted by Karen Buell on 5/18/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families,

     

    Three great Maplebrook happenings in the last twenty-four hours!  We had a lovely 5th Grade Program last night. They performed and sounded amazing and I’m sure made their families proud with their growth over the last six years.  We hosted Matt Wilhelm today for an assembly. He was an America’s Got Talent Finalist and has amazing skills on a BMX bike, while also sharing a positive message about resilience, doing your best, and being kind to others.  Thanks to H&S for your support of this assembly for our students. Lastly, today we enjoyed the beautiful weather during an awesome Field Day! Thank you to everyone that volunteered! Our K-4 students had a great day at Maplebrook, extra thanks to Gina Guasta and Michelle Furlow for coordinating the day.  Or 5th graders had an amazing day at Winding Creek Park, extra thanks to Amy MacDonald, Ilana Speckman and Patty Segvich for coordinating all 5th grade activities and the day.

    Have a nice weekend,

  • Thank You!

    Posted by Karen Buell on 5/11/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families,

     

    On behalf of the staff, thank you so much for your kind words, gifts, food, treats, and support during Teacher Appreciation Week.  Maplebrook has such a thoughtful and caring community! Thank YOU! Also, thanks to all that attended FunFest last Friday. It was wonderful to see so much of the Maplebrook Community enjoying the evening together.  Your financial support is very much appreciated - it goes towards field trips, assemblies, activities (such as roller skating), gifts (such as Birthday Books for students) and more! To those of you that volunteered (see the H&S section below), we can’t thank you enough for creating such a memorable event for our students!

    Have a nice weekend,

  • Funfest May 4th

    Posted by Karen Buell on 5/4/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families,

     

    The sun is shining and temperatures are warm, what a great evening for FunFest!  Hope to see you here in about thirty minutes. In advance, thank you to everyone that helped coordinate the event, and thank you to all that are volunteering your time tonight.  Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to create such a fantastic experience for our Wildcats.

     

    May the 4th be with you,

  • Team NEF

    Posted by Karen Buell on 4/20/2018 4:00:00 PM

    Maplebrook Families,


    Thank you for your continued support of Maplebrook.  Allow me to share details on another way to give back to Maplebrook and all students in District 203.  Please consider joining, or supporting, TEAM NEF in the Healthy Driven Naperville Half Marathon & 5K, on October 21, 2018.  This a great opportunity to raise money directly for Maplebrook because the NEF has reformatted its approach for 2018.  Half of the funds you provide will go a school of your choice (in our case, Maplebrook) and the other half will go to district-wide programs supported by the Naperville Education Foundation.

    Enjoy your weekend,

Strategic Blueprint

  • District 203’s FOCUS 2020 Strategic Blueprint

    Posted by Superintendent Dan Bridges on 6/27/2014
    FOCUS 2020 is the strategic plan for comprehensive improvement between 2014 and 2020, designed in response to community feedback, best practice, and a vision for the future. Ultimately, this blueprint will advance the fulfillment of the district’s mission.
     
    FOCUS 2020’s foundation is the Future Focus Community Engagement process that occurred over the course of a year where hundreds of members from across the community provided feedback to the district leadership regarding areas such as facilities, finances, measuring student success, and programs of study. Learn more about Future Focus by clicking on the specific “Quick Link” to the left of this text.
     
    The Blueprint includes four “Strategic Focus” areas, namely to:
    1. Design and implement effective practices that promote learning experiences for all.
    2. Foster a high-performance culture focused on student learning.
    3. Steward resources effectively to promote student learning.
    4. Effective communication and community relations.
    Each Strategic Focus then establishes “Commitments.” These commitments are what the district leadership pledges to accomplish within a distinct timeframe. Each commitment then includes a detailed “Action Plan” which will be accessible by the public upon final draft.
     
    District administrators provided an update on Blueprint Commitments to the Board of Education at the July 27, 2015 meeting.  To watch that presentation, please click here.
