5-ESSENTIALS SURVEY

Here is a link to a very important survey, The 5Essentials. http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/ This survey gives us the opportunity to hear from you about your experience at Norton Creek. Your participation in this survey helps us learn and grow as a school and continue to build a school that works for everyone. The last day to take the survey is February 14. We will only get a report of the data from the survey if we have 20% of our parents/guardians take the survey. Thank you very much for your time and cooperation!

Middle School Transfer Requests

Families who wish to submit Middle School Transfer requests may do so beginning February 3. The request form will be available on the District 303 website through February 28. Families must complete a separate form for each student they want transferred. Requests are granted based on space available so siblings are not guaranteed placement. A written decision will be communicated to families before spring break.


Once the request is approved, a student may remain at that middle school throughout his or her middle school career, as long as the student resides in District 303.


Families of students granted permission to attend a school outside of their assigned attendance are responsible for their own transportation.


Students will return to their assigned attendance area high school regardless of the middle school attended.

IMPORTANT COLD WEATHER & OUTSIDE RECESS INFORMATION

Per District policy, we will be going outside for recess as long as the temperature (with wind chill) is above 0 F and it is not raining. With that in mind, please make sure your child is dressed to go outside on days when it is cold, snowy or windy. Students should bring outerwear to school in a bag to put on before recess. Please make sure they have hats, gloves, scarves, snow pants and boots if they want to play in the snow. Don’t forget to label your child’s outerwear so it does not end up in the Lost and Found.
