Calendar Update
Tuesday, February 28, 2023, will be a normal day of attendance for students. The date was previously listed on the calendar as a "Tentative e-Learning Day" in the event that an election would be held on that day. That election will not be taking place.
Tuesday, April 4, 2023, remains an e-Learning Day because that date is an Election Day.
COVID-19 Testing
Naperville 203 will end its weekly Wednesday COVID-19 testing at the District Administrative Center on Wednesday, Dec. 21. Until that date, we will continue to offer testing from 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7, Wednesday, Dec. 14, and Wednesday, Dec. 21.
Should you seek testing moving forward, please refer to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Community-Based Testing Sites by clicking below.
Bus Driver Shortage
Naperville 203 continues to be impacted by the nationwide school bus driver shortage. A lack of drivers leads to routes running late, routes not being able to run at all, and the combining of routes. During this time, notice of changes to routes may be short. We apologize for this inconvenience.
We are looking to hire more School Bus Drivers! It’s a great job for those who have recently retired, parents with students who have recently gone to college, and those who have flexibility within their job to work a split shift. If interested, please click below to apply.
Junior High FIRST LEGO League
For the first time at the junior high level, Naperville 203's 10 FIRST LEGO League teams competed at a tournament at Naperville North High School on Dec 3. A huge thank you to NEF, with the support of Molex, for sponsoring all ten of these teams. The team members collaborated to present innovative projects about solving energy issues. They coded robots to complete challenging missions. Most of all, they worked together and demonstrated their core values throughout the whole season and the tournament.
