District 202 is the only district in Illinois with two representatives on the 21-member council this year.
No student attendance on Monday, October 27 for teacher institute.
This year’s theme, “Literary Legends – Celebrating Famous Characters from the Last 100 Years,” honored the Plainfield Area Public Library’s centennial. Leading the parade was Grand Marshal Mindy Jackson, the library’s School Services Librarian, who has spent decades inspiring a love of reading in District 202 students. 📚✨
A wonderful tradition for decades, the parade once again showcased the energy, talent, and pride of our schools and community.
Plainfield North High School students presented to the Board of Education during their meeting on Wednesday. They spoke about the INCUbator program, Tiger Buddies, school culture clubs and the World Culture Fair, the 8-period day, and how clubs help them develop new skills.
Enjoy your holiday! District offices and schools are closed today. #202proud
