Above / Education has changed considerably since the days of 1939 class photos in front of Naper School, the same location along Eagle Street of Naperville’s first school, Naper Academy. First built in the mid-1800s, Naper Academy was demolished and rebuilt with the original bell in 1928. Today Naperville is home to two public school districts and more than 50 public schools.

Education has changed
Community members are invited to hear how education today has changed by attending the next Engage 204 session on January 29 from 7 to 9PM at Still Middle School, 787 Meadowridge Drive, Aurora. This session will focus on “What is #FutureReady204?”
Experts have stated that the majority of students entering elementary school today will be working in jobs that have not been created yet, using tools that have not been invented yet, solving problems that have not been thought of yet. During this interactive session, administrators will share how education is changing to help students develop life and work skills that will be needed in the future.
Engage 204 is a collaborative process between the community and District 204. Key to the success of this process is the collaboration and discussion between participants. District residents who attend will have the unique opportunity to share ideas and discuss topics in small groups in order to provide feedback to the Board of Education. Findings and recommendations will be presented to the Board of Education in July 2018. All District 204 residents are invited to participate in Engage 204.
RSVP is appreciated, but not required at RSVP. For more information, visit Engage 204.
