Early Childhood-Preschool Update
St Charles CUSD 303
Greetings Early Childhood-Preschool Families~
I hope this communication finds you well and you continue to stay home and remain healthy. This past week and a half has been interesting and uncertain to say the least. I am confident that your preschooler's teacher and other staff members have been keeping you informed and engaged in many opportunities for at-home/elearning which will continue to assist your child in their learning. I have been fortunate to be connected with what is being shared with you through their daily communication. Many are using a variety of resources and platforms to get helpful information out to all of you. With that said, I do realize that it is new for some of you to be the facilitator of the learning. Please continue to be honest in your feedback to teachers/staff and offer suggestions that will help us in our plans moving forward.
As we remain uncertain about what is yet to come, I encourage you to reach out to your preschooler's teacher or me with any questions or concerns you might have. Below you will find a link to a survey that will help staff continue to adjust the learning, information and communication that is coming your way. I hope this will provide us feedback on how we might adjust and identify what you might need specifically for your child.
As I engage in ongoing communication with Early Childhood staff from home, one thing is certain... Everyone is missing school, families and STUDENTS very much. We all continue to be hopeful that we will be back together learning and playing as soon as possible. Please give your preschooler a hug from all of us!

This message is a reminder to incoming Kindergarten/elementary school families that the Intra-District transfer window for the 2020-2021 school year opens on April 7 at 8:00 a.m.
For the 2020-2021 school year, ALL Incoming Kindergarden Students have been assigned to their attendance area school by the District. This also includes elementary students currently attending a school on an intra-district transfer.
An Intra-District Transfer Request must be submitted online no sooner than 8:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday following spring break (April 7, 2020) and no later than 4:00 p.m. on the third Monday following (April 20). A link to the request form will be posted on the District 303 web page (district.d303.org) by 8:00 a.m. on April 7.
If you are requesting a transfer for more than one child, a separate request must be submitted for each. Due to fluctuating class sizes at schools and each grade level, siblings are not guaranteed placement. If granted, transportation is the responsibility of the parents.
If you have questions about the process, please call the District office at 331.228.2000.
