Peotone 207u Families,

I wanted to share an update on Mr. Owens. He continues to make progress each day and is currently recovering at home. Please keep him in your thoughts as he moves forward in his recovery journey.

During his leave, I will be stepping in as DeFacto Superintendent, carrying out both the superintendent and assistant superintendent responsibilities. Lisa Harrod, Superintendent of Manteno, has generously donated her time to serve in a consulting role during this interim period. While she won’t be working directly with students and staff, she will be an additional resource for me during this time. Thank you as well to our dedicated administrative team for working together to ensure a smooth and successful start to the school year.

We are excited to welcome our students back this week!

First Day of School (Grades 1–12): Thursday, August 21 (Common Plan Early Release—students will eat lunch at school)

Meet and Greet Appointments (PreK & Kindergarten): Thursday, August 21 & Friday, August 22 (by appointment only)

First Day of School (PreK & Kindergarten): Monday, August 25

In my welcome message to staff yesterday, I closed with a sentiment I’d like to share with you, our families, as we start the year:

Here in Peotone, we have something truly special. This is a community that rallies together—as we are right now for Mr. Owens—that takes pride in its schools and lifts one another up. This is our moment. Our moment to do something incredible, not just as individual teachers or schools, but as one united district.

That’s why our theme this year, Go Big Blue, is more than just a slogan. It’s a call to bring our very best every single day and to go big in everything we do.

Let’s make this a year filled with unforgettable moments—for our students, for one another, and for our community. Together, let’s Go Big Blue!

Looking forward to a great school year!

Carole Zurales
