Earlier this week, you received an email from Naperville 203 regarding the approval of the district’s e-Learning plan. E-Learning will provide our students with a continuation of learning on days when we are unable to open its school buildings. Students will receive at least five hours of asynchronous instruction or school work through their Canvas accounts.
Support From Teachers
Staff members are available from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. to respond to students' needs. Teachers will not provide live streaming/concurrent instruction or synchronous learning. Instead, students will be given assignments aligned to current learning progression and goals.
Communication methods may include: Email, Canvas and/or Zoom, among others
Teachers will check on the completion of necessary e-Learning assignments
Teachers will provide students with extended time, as needed
Attendance
The State of Illinois recognizes e-Learning days as regular attendance days, thus they will not need to be made up. Naperville 203 will use e-Learning days in lieu of emergency days, which were previously used for emergency school closings.
Parents should follow the same absent attendance process as regular school day.
Call the school if your student is sick and unable to participate in the e-Learning day
Students will be considered present unless excused by parent/guardian
All absences should be called in by 9 a.m.
Tech Support
In preparation for the possibility of an E-Learning day, students should bring their computers and other technology tools home each day. For all tech support please click HERE.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued support.
Spirit Week was a HUGE Hit!
Elmwood kicked off spirit week in an awesome way with an assembly led by Matt Wilhelm, Pro BMX biker. He shared a great message of “Never Give Up” and “Be Kind.”
Throughout the week, our students went above and beyond showing their Elmwood school spirit. It was so great to see so many students demonstrating our message of SOAR & "You Belong" at Elmwood!
Thank you Elmwood families for all the fundraising you have done to help Home and School make these fun events happen for our kids!
