Talk203 is an email and telephone notification system that helps the District and the schools better communicate with families. These communications include emergency messages, special events, as well as District and school news updates. This is a powerful communications tool that is interconnected with the student information database, Infinite Campus.
Parents/Guardians Automatically Included
Because Talk203 is connected to Infinite Campus, no signup is needed. District 203 families are automatically included and parents need to do nothing when students change grade or school - it will automatically be updated.
IF YOU ARE A CUSTODIAL PARENT/GUARDIAN OF A DISTRICT 203 STUDENT, OR A DISTRICT 203 STAFF MEMBER, DO NOT SIGN UP BELOW FOR COMMUNITY TALK203. You are automatically included if you have already provided your school with an email address.

Community Member Signup
Interested non-custodial parents and community members are invited to SIGN UP to receive District email messages. Non-custodial parents and community members receive District information only; it is not possible to send Community Talk203 participants email specific to particular schools.
