Make your end-of-school-year giving a snap with Scott’s gift card program! You decide which staff members you want to recognize and how much you’d like to give, and staff members use those funds to pick gift cards from a long list of incredible shops, restaurants, and more. Staff members receive their chosen cards before the last day of school, with a card from all their gift-givers. (All amounts given are kept anonymous, and participation is always completely optional.)

Choosing to order gift cards is a win-win: You have one less thing on your plate, and teachers and staff receive the gift cards they really want. Even better: Every dollar of your gift goes to the teacher or staff member you select, and Scott School even earns money for each card ordered. Order now through Monday, April 29th online through CheddarUp or using the paper order form coming home with your student.

Questions? Please contact Jen Beaudry or Bridgette Holaves at [email protected] or [email protected].

Thank you!

📢 DON'T FORGET! Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey📢

As a parent or guardian of one or more students attending Naperville Community Unit School District 203, your feedback is requested via participation in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. The purpose of this online survey is to understand parent/guardian perceptions in the areas of connectedness, satisfaction, interaction, involvement, and quality.

Your participation and ratings on this survey are confidential; the district will only receive school-level results if at least 20% of parents/guardians participate. The results of this survey will be used to understand areas of strength and challenge at the district and school levels based on your input and feedback.

Families with students attending more than one school are asked to complete the survey for EACH school individually.
To access the survey, please visit: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
