🌞 Summer Break Begins Today! 🌞

Get ready to kick back and soak up the sun because summer break has begun! From May 24 until August 15, it's time to relax, recharge, and reconnect with friends, family, and all the things that bring you joy.

We hope this summer brings you plenty of opportunities to unwind and make cherished memories. Whether you're planning an exotic getaway or enjoying a staycation in your own backyard, take this time to indulge in some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

Rest assured, we're here for you every step of the way! Be on the lookout for any essential updates and announcements, ensuring you're informed throughout the break. Although classes are on hold, beginning June 6, our weekly Thursday Talk203 will transition to bi-weekly to keep you connected.

Here's to a summer filled with sunshine, laughter, and endless possibilities. Enjoy every moment, and we'll see you back refreshed and ready to tackle new challenges on August 15!

If you have any questions, please email Maureen Dvorak, School Services Manager, at mdvorak@naperville203.org.

As we enjoy summer blossoms and sunshine, let's not forget our cold winters where some families struggle to provide the basic necessity of a warm winter coat. But together, we can change that narrative. With your generous support, we aim to raise $2,500 for our annual "COATS for KIDS" drive, in collaboration with St. Raphael's Knights of Columbus. Every dollar donated will directly contribute to ensuring no student within Naperville 203 faces the biting cold without proper protection.

Your donation, whether big or small, will make a significant difference. Just $10 can provide warmth and comfort to a child in need. Please visit the attached link to make your tax-deductible contribution. Your generosity will directly impact the lives of our students, ensuring they have the warmth they deserve during the coming winter months. Click on Pay/Donate then

selecting the "Checkout" button brings up the page for entering the required information and select "Coats for Kids" from the drop-down menu.

Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your kindness and support. 🌟

As Naperville 203 continues to elevate its efforts to keep our community informed, we're proud to present a monthly video series that offers stakeholders a look into our school district's educational process.
