Congratulations to all students who participated.







John F. Kennedy Middle School choir and band students performed Christmas music on December 12 for Bonnie McBeth Early Learning Center students and upstairs at the District 202 Administration Center. #202proud See a video of the performance https://youtube.com/shorts/_s18OlKjLFs











Students rotated through five stations: sound, taste, sight, smell, and touch, exploring a variety of winter items. At each station, they identified three to five sensory adjectives to describe what they experienced.
The goal? To help students use vivid sensory details and descriptive language to make their writing clear, engaging and interesting for readers.







Happy Veterans Day.

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.












Enjoy your holiday! District offices and schools are closed today. #202proud
