LATE NIGHT SCIENCE ON A NATIONAL STAGE

In 2015, Naperville 203 students conducted their last science experiments on the “Late Show with David

Letterman,” coinciding with Letterman’s retirement. It was the 24th time in 18 years they performed wacky experiments before the audience. Naperville North Science Teacher Lee Marek conducted solo experiments on the show in the early 1990s, but show producers asked if he could round up a few students to perform the experiments. Every year since then he and other teachers accompanied students to New York City to appear on the show.

Fifth-grade classes at Naper Elementary moved to Washington Junior High this year to ease overcrowding at what is one of Naperville 203’s smallest schools. School officials said they are accustomed to helping students transition to junior high and will adapt that model to fourth graders. Naper’s population hovered around 295 last year and its size means that art and gifted education are conducted in the resource center. Moving fifth grade allowed for two classrooms of all-day kindergarten at the school and greater flexibility as needed each year, such as an additional classroom section or a dedicated classroom for art.

At Washington, to avoid mingling with the older students, fifth-grade classrooms, bathrooms, and lockers were clustered together and monitored by teachers. The elementary arrival and dismissal schedule also remained the same.

Later in the fall, an enrollment report showed that steady enrollment declines could be slowing soon. District officials said declines were smaller than projected and they had seen an increase in the number of elementary children moving into the district. There is also a rising birth rate, and while projections can easily be made using birth rate models, it is more difficult to project how many families will move into the district.

It was the first year that every junior high student received a Chromebook to take home and use in school. Parents were urged to focus on what is good and bad digital behavior, and how to have a conversation to monitor students’ activities.

Before receiving a Chromebook, students and their parents were shown a video on digital citizenship and how to be responsible with the devices. The previous year, the program, called the 1:1 Initiative, was launched for high schoolers.

In addition, Devorah Heitner, author of “Connecting Wisely in the Digital Age,” talked to parents at a Focus 203 about raising children in a digital age. She came to Naperville as part of the District’s digital learning initiative.

Kennedy Junior High maintained its status as a Blue Ribbon School by earning the honor for the third time in 2016. KJHS also received the designation in 2002 and 2008 (pictured here).

Other Highlights

• Lacrosse became an official sport in 2016-17. The Board agreed in October 2014 to begin transitioning the sport into an official sport for both boys and girls and provided some funding for uniforms last year. IHSA, the state athletic governing body, has declared the sport as “emerging” though athletes must abide by IHSA rules.

• Kennedy Junior High School was again selected as a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School, the third time it was named for the national honor.

• Naperville 203 officials continued to work hard at reducing achievement gaps in underperforming groups of students. For the last four years the District had studied culturally responsive practices to address these achievement gaps within the student population. They were working on targeting students earlier and providing them with better access to testing opportunities.

• All-day kindergarten was deemed a great success after math scores from first grade showed impressive jumps. The increase in math scores recorded by students in the first grade after they had completed all-day kindergarten showed a 10% growth from 2013-14 to 2015-16. Reading scores showed a 15-point increase during the same period. Additionally, a May 2015 parent survey showed 95% were satisfied with the full-day model and 95% indicated the program was developmentally appropriate for their student.

• Naperville was named one of the top safest cities in America to raise children and the only one in Illinois mentioned. The home security rankings website Safewise ranked Naperville No. 19 for its kid-friendly programs and low crime rates. In determining the ranking, Safewise analyzed FBI crime data, sex offender data, student graduation rates, school rankings, and school district programs. Specifically, Naperville 203 was noted for its digital learning initiative.

• In the face of a state budget impasse and continued threatened reductions in state funds, Naperville 203 was able to trim its 2016-17 budget by nearly $800,000. Each year, 90% of the budget comes from property taxes and other local sources.

• Administrators said in June that while they will be able to open schools as planned, they will start to identify areas to cut if the state budget impasse does happen.

• Adarsh Mattu and Prateek Dullur, of Naperville Central, and Aditya Ramachandran, of Naperville North, met President Barack Obama and were honored guests at the 2016 White House Science Fair. They had won a national science competition a year earlier, earning an invitation to the White House.

GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL

If you see teens huddled and with their heads down, it might be the latest craze hitting Naperville. Naperville 203 was swift to block access to the game “Pokémon Go,” a digital game where players can collect Pokéballs around town to catch Pokémon creatures, District 204 did the same. Edward Hospital requested that it be removed as a Pokemon Go location; its circle drive was known as a Pokemon gym where players can train their creatures to battle other players.

Locally, physical therapists sounded the alarm about “text neck” and said they had never seen more neck and back pain and injuries. They ascertained it was due to folding chins to the chest for texting.

Citing substantial progress in Naperville 203, the Board of Education extended Superintendent Dan Bridges’ contract for five years until 2023. The School Board cited students’ academic achievement, the implementation of all-day kindergarten, the 1:1 initiative that put a computer into the hands of students, late start day for high school students, and more time for teacher training.

Three accolades stood out in the year 2017. Student ACT scores took a substantial jump. The Class of 2017 composite score was 25 compared to the previous year’s post of 24.8.

Niche.com ranked Naperville 203 as the No. 3 top school system in the state behind New Trier (No. 1) and Libertyville/Vernon Hills (No. 2). The ranking was based on Niche.com’s proprietary data and U.S. Department of Education data, as well as survey responses. The analysis includes state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality, and public school ratings.

The third accolade was that Naperville Central and North students could now apply for an Illinois Seal of Biliteracy or state commendation toward biliteracy. The remarkable achievement would now be recognized on a student’s diploma and transcripts. The seal is awarded to graduating high school students who demonstrate a high level of fluency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in a foreign language. A commendation is given to students who can effectively communicate in multiple languages.

With the state budget woes behind them, Naperville 203 planned to add staff in the 2017-18 school year to close achievement gaps. In the last three years, the District had worked hard to close the achievement gap among smaller subgroups of students including Hispanic, low-income, Black, English learners and students with disabilities. The District would add 19 full-time educators, including instructional coaches, math specialists and others for $1.8 million. There was also a need for 12 full-time special education and English language educators for $1.05 million annually.

Other Highlights

• Naperville North and Central High School students scored an extra hour of sleep every Wednesday morning in the 2017-18 school year. The late start allows teachers to have time to meet and plan. Classes started at 9:00 a.m., rather than the regular time of 7:45 a.m., but still finished at the usual time of 3:10 p.m.

• The mental health of teens became a bigger concern this year when there were three teen suicides in the Naperville community early in the year. Naperville 203 held a special community engagement Focus 203 session on the topic and the city and mental health experts created a Naperville Mental Health Steering Committee to study the problem and recommend solutions. In addition, Naperville 203 provided two community forums on suicide. Adding to the controversy was a popular Netflix series called “13 Reasons Why,” a show based on a book by Jay Asher about a high school student who commits suicide and leaves behind audio recordings documenting the 13 reasons why she chose to end her life. Naperville 203 officials issued a warning to parents urging them to have a conversation with their children if they have watched, or would like to watch, the series.

Naperville 203 implemented the next phase of its digital learning initiative when it rolled out Chromebooks for every third- to fifth-grader and iPads for every second-grader. Students in kindergarten and first grade shared iPads 2:1. Technology fees for elementary students increased from $29 to $50 to pay for the lease.

The District launched its Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum in all of its schools, one of the first school districts to do so. Illinois was a leader in developing SEL standards, which teach students how to identify emotions, control them, empathize, work with others, and make responsible decisions. Officials said incorporating SEL into the daily curriculum would increase academic achievement, help provide a positive school climate, improve student attendance, and allow students to better use coping skills.

(Naperville Central) was special first and foremost because of the teachers and other staff. There was also a culture of acceptance and inclusivity that I’ve yet to see elsewhere and is why I’ve now moved back to this school district to have my own children grow up in that special environment.

ERIN BERMAN, CLASS OF 2009

“”With school security a rising concern throughout the country, schools were hiring chiefs of security. In Naperville 203, Louis Cammiso, a retired police officer, was appointed to fill the newly created position of Director of Safety and Security. His role was to develop and implement security procedures and provide training to staff. The District also transitioned to the new safety training program known as ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate). While there had been a call from rural downstate districts to arm teachers with guns to thwart potential school shooters, Naperville 203 opposed such legislation. Board of Education members said no evidence suggested that arming teachers and staff was a viable solution against an act of an active shooter, and said gun training should be left in the hands of professionals.

Just months earlier, Naperville North and Central students joined teens from across the country in school walkouts and protests to pressure Congress to enact stricter gun control measures. The events were in response to the school shooting of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.

Other Highlights

• Naperville North High School was named a National Blue Ribbon School, one of 349 schools in the U.S. chosen in 2018. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance. Only 24 schools in Illinois earned the distinction in 2018.

• With concussions a concern and its interscholastic football program participation declining, middle schools decided to replace tackle football with flag football. It used to be that there were enough students for three weight classifications; now there are only enough for two.

• Again this year, the Board of Education voted that homeowners will get a break on their property tax bills. This combined with its vote earlier in December to abate its 2016 debt service levy, the owner of a $410,000 home would pay roughly $107 less than it otherwise would have paid. Annually the Board of Education determines whether to abate all or part of the debt service levy from its 2008 referendum. For both 2016 and 2017, it determined that it has adequate resources to make the required bond payments.

• A record 29 Naperville 203 students earned a perfect 36 on the ACT, a rare feat that is achieved by only one-tenth of 1% of all test takers. They included NNHS seniors Richard Cao, Howie Guo, Kathryn Jin, Lauren Sun, Jonathan Vanderwater, Matthew Vaughn, and Felix Zheng and NNHS juniors Karen Ge, Benjamin Kan, Justin Griffith, Alec Manzardo, and Cindy Xue; and NCHS seniors John Biziorek, Rishi Ghorad, Mahika Gopalka, Brendan Gurnik, Phoebe Harmon, Mia Kurkechian, Yangyang Li, Ryan Park, Sanjana Ramrajvel, Elizabeth Reimer, Samuel Welch, Shirley Wu and Jamie Zhang and juniors Arjun Kumar, Ganesan Narayanan, Jack Reicherts and Alex Trickey.

With a national movement to strengthen and advance diversity, equity and inclusion, Naperville 203 created a new administrative position -- Executive Director of Diversity and Inclusion -- and Dr. Rakeda Leaks was appointed to lead the initiative.

A pilot breakfast program started at two elementary and two middle schools was hailed as a success and will be extended to all schools in the coming year. Surveys showed that students participating in the program who previously did not eat breakfast were better prepared to learn and had fewer discipline issues.

Among students that participated in the program, 71% qualified for free or reduced meals. School officials said that one in six students qualified for the free or reduced program based on federal guidelines. The program was launched at Mill Street Elementary, Scott Elementary, Jefferson Junior High and Madison Junior High. The cost of a meal was $1.50 at the junior high and $1.40 at the elementary school, but costs were waived or reduced depending on a family’s income level.

Other Highlights

• Naperville 203 came to a compromise regarding the start of school in August and gave students four more days of summer. In previous years, the Board of Education had approved an earlier start date, which the calendar committee had also recommended for this year. But parents said an August 15 first day of school was a bit too early. So moving forward, the first day of school will begin four days later. Final exams in high school will continue before winter break.

• Kingsley Elementary School was one of 362 schools recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School. It was chosen based on its progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups, specifically a gender gap in the number of female students qualifying for mathematics programs, compared to their male peers.

Snow Days Spur Unique Fundraiser

Superintendent Dan Bridges’ decision to cancel school four days this school year due to weather earned him hero status in students’ eyes. NCHS student Richie Holmberg used that status to put Bridges’ photo on a T-shirt and sell them. Bridges, who has a strong following on Twitter and often tweets back to students, was asked about using his picture on a T-shirt. He responded to Holmberg: “Let’s talk on Friday - if it goes to support @NEF203, I think we can do this.”

Superintendent Dan Bridges earned hero status for canceling school and a creative student decided to use that opportunity to make some money for a favorite charity.

The T-shirts raised $2,700 in four days. The money was donated to the Naperville Education Foundation.

• Naperville 203 spent an average of $16,000 per student, according to data included in the Illinois Report Card. It is the first year that the Report Card also included how spending varies within districts from school to school.

• The District and the Naperville Park District approved sharing the cost of installing a $4.25 million turf athletic field in Knoch Park. Naperville 203 would pay 43% of the cost and the park district would pay 57%. The new field would be used for team practices and competitions.

• Besides the field, other improvements were planned such as spectator seating, lighting, a press box and scoreboard booth, trails and pathways, landscaping, and park and field signs. The public would also get four lighted pickleball courts, funded by the park district. The improvements and a new softball field meant this was the last year for Ribfest, the popular Fourth of July celebration, at the park organized by the Exchange Club.

• Work was underway on a data dashboard to give the public a means to track progress on how effectively Naperville 203 is meeting its goals. The dashboard would be housed on the District’s website and track finances, academic progress and other benchmarks.

• Naperville 203, Indian Prairie School District 204, and Community Unit School District 200 dissolved the Expanding Learning Opportunities Consortium, effective June 30, 2020. eLo was formed as a way to counter a charter school offering online coursework. It would have pulled both enrollment and funding from the districts.

• For the first time, Naperville 203 sent parent communication out in a third language – Mandarin, to support that growing population. The email messages, called Talk203, were often translated into Spanish.

• A new Naperville chapter of March for Our Lives was organized by eighth-graders Peyton Arens, Lily Longenbaugh, Lucy Gosselin and Nathan May. The national March for Our Lives movement was started by survivors of the Parkland, Fla., high school shooting in 2018.

In early January 2020, the second case of COVID-19 in the United States was discovered in Chicago when a woman returned from the pandemic’s place of origin in Wuhan, China. Throughout the early part of the year, Coronavirus dominated the national news with the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declaring COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11.

As the U.S. watched cases spread rapidly in Europe, schools here remained open, but visitors to the buildings were canceled, field trips were put on hold, and spectators were barred from sports competitions. In early March, school officials quickly refuted a hoax on the social media platform Snapchat that said schools would be closed. But it was an omen of things to come. A few days later, on March 17, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker ordered all schools and colleges closed, as well as restaurants and bars. For many, it seemed this was temporary, but the order was extended until April 30, and then again until May 29. In April 2020, the U.S. recorded 18,600 confirmed deaths and more than 500,000 confirmed cases in under four months, becoming the world’s global hotspot.

Throughout the spring of 2020, Naperville 203 schools were closed and classes took place online in families’ homes. The District rolled out its e-Learning program to 16,500 students from preschool through high school. It was a significant time of stress for educators who had to learn new technology, quickly ramp up classroom management skills in a virtual environment, and deliver lessons for all digitally. But e-Learning wasn’t the only struggle. The pandemic upended lives. In some industries workers were losing their jobs and income, and parents as well as teachers had to juggle e-Learning for their young children along with jobs. End-of-year traditional events were canceled. Junior high ceremonies were held online and high school graduations were postponed until July. Fortunately, Naperville 203 was able to offer five days worth of free graband-go meals twice a week to any student who wanted them, thanks to the federal school lunch program. They extended the service for the bulk of the summer. To help families in immediate need, the Naperville Education Foundation established a new fund to aid students and families with transportation, weekend meals, and other needs.

The school community went out of its way to thank teachers and staff during the long, trying days of the pandemic.

Schools were short staffed during the pandemic, leading Superintendent Dan Bridges and other administrators to substitute.

The summer was a difficult one, as schools were busy making plans to reopen with expansive health and safety plans in place, as well as contingency plans in case schools did not open.

In June there was additional strife in the community. High school seniors organized a Black Lives Matter protest in the city, which drew more than 300 people downtown to hear speeches. But the peaceful rally turned ugly when outside agitators joined the group. At around 9:30 p.m. police asked people to disperse and a short time later, several loud bangs were heard and people scattered. Windows had been broken on a number of businesses, planters and garbage cans were overturned and fireworks set off. It was one of many protests erupting throughout the Chicago area in response to the death of George Floyd, a Minnesota man who was killed while he was being arrested the week prior.

Parents and educators were weighing in at Board of Education meetings about fears of reopening and their opinions for and against wearing masks. But as cases ramped up and guidance from state and national health departments issued conflicting guidance, Naperville 203 delayed reopening schools in August 2020, like most in the county, until safety measures had been definitively decided.

Noting that it wasn’t ideal, Naperville 203 officials started school with e-Learning on Sept. 1, due to the high rate of COVID-19 transmission in the area and evolving state guidelines. The District had planned to offer inperson learning on alternating days and full online academies, but increasing COVID-19 cases and changing state guidelines had nixed those plans.

The delay was met with mixed results. Some parents formed alliances with IPSD 204 parents and held a rally in downtown Naperville urging officials to open up schools. Other parents were pleased with the slower transition. Superintendent Dan Bridges said that the re-opening had to be done thoughtfully and in full adherence to the new public health protocols.

He outlined a detailed “Return to Learn” plan in which students will return to in-person learning in phases, beginning with the youngest students. Yet, with cases rising even higher in the fall, moving from “moderate” to “substantial,” and the county health department urging that schools operate with 100% online learning, in-person learning was delayed again. The state’s term was called an “Adaptive Pause,” meaning that officials were monitoring COVID-19 conditions. Only specialized programs would continue.

Other Highlights

• In June 2020, the Board of Education adopted a Comprehensive Equity Plan. The Board of Education and administrators pledged to commit to undoing inequities that may exist in policies and procedures, and to truly create an equitable learning environment for all students.

2021

COVID-19 continued to dominate the news of 2021 and also the time and energy of educators, staff, administrators, and the Board of Education in Naperville 203. It was a daunting time. Health officials feared that the holiday gatherings, loosening of indoor dining restrictions and the resumption of youth sports would exacerbate the spread of COVID-19. In January, Illinois surpassed 19,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths.

Yet, there was positive news. In January, Naperville 203 announced hybrid learning would begin, meaning students went to school for half days and had remote learning days the other half. The model satisfied state health guidelines for capacity and six feet of distancing, a challenge in all of the schools.

Vaccinations had rolled out in the state, first to healthcare workers and those in long-term care facilities. Soon, the vaccines would be offered to educators, then to the general public. The Naperville area had one of the highest vaccination rates in the state, in part due to the vaccination clinics offered in partnership between Districts 203 and 204. Naperville 203 was also one of the first to launch SHIELD testing and a “Test-to-Stay” COVID-19 program. This greatly reduced the number of students who had to quarantine at home.

After spring break, Naperville 203 resumed in-person instruction five days a week. Earlier, the state had eased its guidance for social distancing from six feet to three feet, and reduced capacity limits, which allowed the schools to launch in-person instruction full-time. Yet, social distancing at lunch remained a problem at the high schools. Schedules were set up so students would attend until 1:30 p.m. And, in May, the COVID-19 vaccine was authorized for use for 12- to15-year-olds.

Every facet of operations in the schools was affected by the pandemic. Already experiencing a teacher shortage, Naperville 203 worked hard to attract more substitute teachers, which were sorely needed in the last two years. As a result, the Board of Education approved increasing the daily pay and added a $100 bonus for every ten days days substitute teachers worked.

Teachers had to be creative in reimagining events. Here, Ellsworth band members put on a socially distanced concert to say goodbye to retiring teachers.

Other Highlights

• To combat learning loss due to the pandemic, Naperville 203 also offered a free summer school class to all Naperville 203 students. The District created an extensive plan to help students bounce back from learning loss and mental health lapses from the pandemic. The District planned summer academic boot camps, hired extra teaching specialists for the fall, implemented tutoring services, and offered additional social emotional support. Many of the programs were funded through a $6 million federal ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) grant.

• To prioritize wellness and self-care during one of the most challenging years in education, Naperville 203 launched a program called “Optimistic School Community.” As families and staff transitioned from e-Learning to hybrid learning, the goal was to have families focus on what they learned and how they grew during the pandemic. Students and families were encouraged to participate in six interactive modules containing short videos, activities, and resources.

• The Illinois High School Association made plans to add esports, also called competitive gaming. The esports movement gained traction several years ago when more than 170 universities added varsity programs.

• In a partnership with the Naperville Park District, a new girls varsity soft ball field, athletic turf field and other amenities were completed at Naperville’s Knoch Park. The upgrades met a large need for athletic fields in the area, as well as expanded the park’s use by school athletes.

Three Naperville 203 elementary schools landed on the prestigious list of National Blue Ribbon Schools: Elmwood, Highlands and Steeple Run. All three schools were recognized as Exemplary High-Performing Schools, ranking among the state’s highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests.

The pandemic continued to affect schools in many ways throughout 2022. Face masks continued to be a hot topic and were required by state law at the start of the 2021-22 school year. In February 2022, however, the courts ruled that the mask mandate had expired so school districts individually could decide how to address indoor masking. Naperville 203, like most in the region, shifted to making masks “strongly recommended” for students and staff and schools. Laws required masking to remain for students on school buses. Naperville 203 officials said they made the change to “recommended” following a decline in COVID infections.

Supply chain issues and staff shortages also plagued schools. Less than a month before classes began in August 2022, the District was still scrambling to secure cars for driver’s education students. Shortages for substitutes, bus drivers, teacher assistants and others were problematic.

Facing these shortages, the Board approved contracts with both its transportation union and maintenance custodial union, giving them a $1,000 one-time payment and bumping up starting salaries in order to attract workers.

Finally, there continued to be concerns about the mental health of students, which was common across the country. To support students and families, administration added two fulltime directors of outreach and student belonging – one at each high school. The directors serve as student and family advocates.

Yet, despite the pandemic, school officials said that there has been a swift academic rebound from two years of learning loss. On the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) administered in third through eighth grades, 67% of Naperville 203 students met or exceeded grade-level standards for English language arts, and 60% met or exceeded mathematics standards. That’s compared to 59% in English and 58% in math in the 2020-21 school year.

In the 2018-19 school year, before the pandemic hit, 68% of Naperville 203 students met or exceeded English standards while 70% did so in math.

Other Highlights

• The Board of Education agreed to abate $2.7 million of the 2021 debt service tax levy, the sixth straight year it had done so. The $2.7 million abatement saved the average owner of a $410,000 home about $70 from the Naperville 203 portion of their property tax bill. In all, nearly $17 million of the debt service levy has been abated in the last six years.

• In spring, citing sparse enrollment, the Naperville 203 Board of Education voted to eliminate Latin 1 beginning with the 2022-23 school year. An audit showed dwindling enrollment numbers at both high schools. Latin would be phased out over the next few years. Students currently enrolled in Latin 1 would be able to finish the sequence through Latin 2, 3 and 4.

• Long-time assistant principal Jackie Thornton was appointed as principal of Naperville Central High School beginning with the 2022-23 school year, succeeding Bill Weisbrook. She was the school’s first female principal. Weisbrook was at Central for 26 years, 14 as principal.

• The dress code was changed in 2022 and universally adopted as a District, not determined by each school. The largest change was allowing a hat or head covering if it didn’t distract from school. Another change was that students could not wear anything with speech, language or images that create a “hostile or intimidating environment for others, including any protected class or marginalized group.” The code used the American Library Association’s definition of hate speech.

• At the end of the 2021-22 school year, the District held an inaugural event to show its appreciation to aspiring educators. About 30 high school seniors signed commitment certificates pledging to study education in college during Future Educator Signing Day. It was a day likened to Signing Day for high school athletes.

I had many teachers in my 12 years in District 203 that really made a difference to me. I am still in contact with several of them to this very day. I grew a lot and the relationships I formed during that time made me into the adult I am now, and that is something I will never forget (also worth noting, I met my wife at Naperville Central).
