Getting Involved

Communication

Communication between home and school is essential to your child’s successful transition to and continued progress in kindergarten. Your child’s teacher will share suggestions for effective ways for you to communicate with him or her and the methods he or she will use to communicate with you.

Talk203

Talk203, powered by Blackboard Mass Notification, is a service provided by the District to keep the community informed. Regular updates concerning a wide range of topics are sent directly to you via email. In the event of a school or District weather or other emergency, you will receive a special Talk203 phone and email message. The District uses the email and phone numbers you provide when you register your student. Please inform your school office whenever this contact information changes.

Let's Talk!

At Naperville 203, we are committed to engaging in meaningful two-way conversations with our community. Parents, students, staff and community members are invited to send in their questions, concerns, suggestions, and/or compliments via our two-way engagement platform Let’s Talk. Once someone clicks on a topic and submits via Let’s Talk, the District employee who can best address your question or comment will be notified. To learn more, please visit www.naperville203.org/letstalk.

Parent Involvement

There are many opportunities for you to become involved in your child’s school. While they vary between buildings, all schools invite parents to attend events and volunteer. Your child’s teacher will share a wide range of opportunities for parent involvement with you.

All parents belong to the Home & School Association, a parent group similar to the PTA.

The mission of the Home & School Association is to encourage and facilitate a cooperative partnership among our students, parents, District staff and administration to support and enhance the school experience of each student. Home & School initiates and/or supports various programs through the donation of time and sponsorship from its District school population and community members.
