On March 15, Naperville North Principal Stephanie Posey and District 203 officials released a wave of measures to address possible student and family issues related to e-learning amid the period of school closure. However, due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19, all District 203 buildings closed last Thursday. Due to this, services such as information technology assistance and printing are no longer available.

• • Students and families who rely on the school’s breakfast and lunch assistance programs are able to pick up grab-and-go meals from Naperville Central High School (front loop in front of building), Jefferson Junior High School (bus lane on side of building) or Scott Elementary School (front lane in front of building). Typical payment procedures still apply. The dates for food pick up for the next two weeks are listed below. Additional support is directed toward students’ specific social workers.
