A big THANK YOU to our first two Go BIG BLUE Sponsors – Demas and Sons Concrete and Lori Bonarek Realty! 💙 Your support makes a difference for our students and schools!
We’re already halfway to our sponsorship goal and are looking for a few more amazing partners to join us. Check out the details below to see how you can help us reach the finish line!
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!

On Tuesday, we had our all-staff District Kick Off at Institute Day!💙 It was an incredible time of connection and celebration. Our admin team proudly launched this year’s Go Big Blue focus, and a special shoutout to Mr. McGovern for being our very own Blue Devil! We recognized the hard work of those that worked this summer to prepare for a successful start of the year, heard a welcome message from Board Member Ashley Stachniak, introduced our new staff, enjoyed games like Name that BLUE Tune and Which Came First, received important safety reminders from Officer Stankus, and listened to closing inspirational message from Mrs. Zurales! This is the only time each year our entire staff gathers together, and we loved sharing great conversations and lots of smiles over a delicious lunch from Del Santos. Now we’re ready to welcome students (Grades 1–12) on Thursday and our PreK/Kindergarten on Monday. Let’s Go BIG BLUE! 💙📘
Your Peotone 207u Admin Team spent the week diving into school improvement planning, aligning goals, collaborating, and preparing for a strong start to the year! Each activity—from planning to building connections—was centered on moving our district ahead!
We wrapped up the week in our favorite sports gear, celebrating the same teamwork and dedication we’ll bring into the school year!
Here’s to a year of growth, goals, and Go Big Blue! 💙

On Wednesday, Mrs. Zurales facilitated a district-wide School Improvement Workshop as part of the Admin Retreat. Building administrators worked side-by-side with their teacher teams to develop School Improvement Plans for the upcoming year. For the first time, this important work is being completed before the school year begins—ensuring that every building starts with clear goals, focused priorities, and aligned action steps. We’re excited to see the impact this will have on student growth throughout the year!
Reminder to Peotone Families: Any required physical & immunizations for the 2025-2026 school year are due PRIOR to the first day of school.
You can find all the appropriate forms needed for your student on the district website under the parent tab in Health Services Department > Health Service Documents.
https://www.peotoneschools.org/page/health-services
Our last day of school is this Friday, May 30th. All schools will be implementing a common plan schedule.
Please see flyer about the Will County Health Department Back to School Immunization Clinics.
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the first presenter in our Peotone Parent Partnership Series on Thursday, May 15, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. The event will feature Detective Rich Wistocki from the Be Sure Consulting CyberSafe Schools Team. Detective Wistocki is a nationally recognized expert in High Technology Cyber Crimes and will share proactive strategies, expert insights, and invaluable resources for ensuring children's cyber safety.
We recognize that May is a busy month, but we believe this presentation is especially important as we head into summer—a time when students’ technology usage tends to increase. Resources will be shared for those who cannot attend, but we hope to see you there!
Please see the attached flyer for all the details.
