What if my child would like to participate in a sport?
Posted by:Interscholastic sports are offered to all 7th and 8th grade boys and girls. Students are required to have a physical examination on file at school before they can try-out for or participate in a sport. The physical examination form can be found on our website at https://www.naperville203.org/domain/789 under the Forms section. -
How does Band, Orchestra or Chorus fit into my student's schedule?
Posted by:These classes meet during the supervised study period, thus resulting in no supervised study on the days that these groups meet. These performance groups are graded classes and are included on trimester report cards.
Band and orchestra students have weekly small-group rehearsals, which are rotated throughout the school day so that students only miss a given class approximately once every six weeks.
-
What if my child forgets something at home?
Posted by:Due to the high volume of requests we receive from students needing to call home for forgotten items and parents who drop forgotten items off each day, we are asking parents and students to take time out the night before or before leaving for school each day to make sure that they have all of the items that they need for the school day. A good suggestion we heard from a parent recently is to post a sign on the door that your student exits in the morning that says “Did I forget anything?”
Students are expected to be responsible and bring needed items to school. Our overall goal is to allow classroom instruction to continue without interruption.
If a forgotten item is dropped off at the front office, it is the student’s responsibility to come to the office to check for it during their passing period. If a student does not pick up their item during the day, they will paged by the office at the end of the day.
