The School Board and Administration of Peotone 207U is beginning the task of developing a strategic blueprint for the District. The Blue Devil Blueprint will help guide future decision making in all areas of District operations including academics, finance, building facilities, human resources, and communication.
The work in this area began July 1st when we sent out a survey accessible to all stakeholders asking for their feedback on the current condition of the District. The survey results were presented publicly to the Board of Education at our August meeting and can be found HERE.
Here is where we need your help! On Monday November 9th at 6:30 p.m. we are inviting all community stakeholders to come together to dive deeper into these 5 areas and create a vision for Peotone 207U moving forward. If you are interested in participating please fill out the interest form on the Blue Devil Blueprint website: https://www.peotoneschools.org/page/blue-devil-blueprint
Thank you for your partnership, and we look forward to seeing you on November 9th!
A few more pictures from our Fire Safety visit with the Manhattan Fire Protection District!
Our preschoolers had an exciting visit from our local firefighters! 🚒 🧑🏻🚒 They learned about fire safety, explored the fire truck and ambulance, and got to meet some real-life community helpers. It was a memorable day.
We had a fun-filled week in preschool! Our little learners stayed busy exploring, creating, playing, and learning together. So many smiles, giggles, and happy moments!💕
Let the good times GLOW! Homecoming Spirit Week continued with Neon and Glow Day!
Seeing double in yellow! Our preschool friends are twinning and bringing the sunshine to Homecoming Spirit Week! 💛

Keep the Imagination Growing 📚💙
Dolly Parton believed in the power of a book to spark a child’s imagination, inspire a lifelong love of reading, and open the door to endless possibilities. Her incredible legacy continues through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
As a reminder, the Will County Imagination Library is available to families with children birth through age 5. Registered children receive a FREE, high-quality, age-appropriate book mailed directly to them each month until their fifth birthday.
This is a wonderful opportunity to build early literacy skills, encourage reading together at home, and help prepare young learners for kindergarten.
If you have a young child—or know a family with a little one who would benefit—be sure to spread the word!

Transportation routes have been finalized; however, we are currently experiencing an issue with the route information transferring between our transportation software and PowerSchool.
Our technology and transportation teams are working closely with the software company to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will share transportation information with families as soon as the issue is resolved.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We are working to finalize transportation routes and plan to email bus schedules to families by Wednesday, August 19. We will send an updated email on Monday, August 24 with any adjustments to pickup and drop-off times.
With the changes to our transportation routes this year, we are making some adjustments to help keep routes as efficient as possible. One of these changes will be fewer stops within town and increased use of corner stops. As a result, some students may need to walk a little farther to reach their bus stop.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these changes. There may be additional adjustments during the first few weeks of school as we monitor routes and make changes as needed.
As a reminder, students in 2nd grade and younger are required to have a parent or guardian present to meet them at their bus stop.
If you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Department at 708-258-9605.
Thank you for your patience and support as we prepare for a great school year. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

As we approach the 25th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, we pause to remember the lives that were lost and to honor the extraordinary courage of those who answered the call without hesitation. On one of the darkest days in our nation's history, countless first responders, service members, healthcare professionals, and ordinary citizens demonstrated remarkable bravery and selflessness. Though our nation was tested that September morning, it also revealed the resilience, unity, and strength that define the American spirit.
Twenty-five years later, we remain deeply grateful for the men and women who continue to serve our communities each day. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Manhattan Fire Protection District and the Peotone Police Department for their unwavering commitment to protecting our community. Whether responding to emergencies, supporting our schools, or serving our residents, they willingly sacrifice time with their own families to ensure the safety of ours. While no words can fully express our gratitude, we hope they know how much their service and sacrifice mean to our community.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the Peotone High School Student Council is proud to offer a special commemorative T-shirt fundraiser. One hundred percent of the proceeds from every shirt sold will be donated to the Manhattan Fire Protection District and the Peotone Police Department as a small token of our appreciation for all they do to keep our community safe.
The online store will close at midnight on Thursday, August 20. Orders may be shipped directly to your home for an additional shipping fee, or you may choose to have them delivered to any Peotone School District building for free pickup. This fundraiser is open to the entire Peotone community, and we encourage everyone to join us in honoring the heroes of September 11 while supporting the first responders who continue to serve our community each and every day.
Together, we remember. Together, we honor. Together, we give back. 🇺🇲🗽🧑🚒👮🏥🎖️
