This week’s first snow is a great reminder to make sure the contact information you’ve provided the District is up-to-date. We want to ensure you’re getting timely alerts on inclement weather operations and other important notifications. Please take a moment to do the following:

View Notification Preferences/Enable Text Messages
District 303 will send notifications to families through the ParentLink system by text message, phone call and email based on your settings. Parents/guardians can view and edit their contact settings through the Home Access Center.
To receive timely emergency communications, we strongly encourage families to enable text notifications. For most people, this is the fastest way to receive and view important messages. Here’s how:

• From the HAC main menu, select the “registration” tab to view your contact settings
• Select the “edit” button to change your contact settings
• To enable text message notifications, enter your cell phone number in the SMS/text message field
• Select the “save” button

Thank you for your orders! They will be sent home with your student before winter break. If you marked them as gifts then they will be held in the main office for pick up on 12/20 or 12/21.

Keep those pictures coming our way for possible inclusion in the yearbook. Send them to dryearbook2022@gmail.com

St. Charles 5th graders participate in a Too Good for Drugs program by the St. Charles Police Department. Former Richmond students came back to talk to 5th graders during this week’s lesson.
