We're getting off to a great start of the school year!

Bringing appreciation to our schools with grants

Each year, NEF provides $1,000 School Appreciation Grants to support the unique needs of each Naperville 203 school and Connections Transition program.

School Appreciation Grants are now being distributed across the district. Thank you to staff at each school for all that you do for your students!

This week, NEF Trustee Sue Salness presented River Woods Elementary with their 2025-26 School Appreciation Grant. 

Thank you, Busey Bank!

Thanks to Busey Bank for dropping off school supplies that were collected during their July School Supplies Drive at their Will and DuPage county locations as part of their Busey Drives Generosity initiative. 

The supplies provided, including backpacks, markers, crayons, folders and more, will help ensure students from economically disadvantaged households are ready for a great school year!

New Educator Breakfast

At the Naperville 203 New Educator Breakfast earlier this month, new educators had the opportunity to learn more about our district, including a chance to hear from NEF Trustee Sue Salness about the Naperville Education Foundation. 

Welcome to all our new educators! We can't wait to work with you to bring great ideas to life for Naperville 203 students this year.
