'Be yourself': Naperville203 student advisory council offers recommendations for success
Understanding the importance of belonging -- not just fitting in -- is crucial to developing a successful student experience.
Headed by Superintendent Dan Bridges, the council has 25 students from various grades. The panel met three times earlier this school year and emerged with recommendations in four categories: amplifying the diversity of student voices; learning from and with other students, teachers and staff members; supporting social, emotional and physical safety; and improving student relationships during the school day and through extracurricular activities.
Three of the advisory council members spoke at Monday's board meeting. Katherine Wang, a senior at Naperville North High School, says she will graduate knowing the district is in a better place because of the advisory council's work. "Because our district is for our students, and I think it's very important that we hear from them and see what they think."
