Due to the excessive heat and humidity this week, the dismissal times for all Peotone Schools have been changed from a Common Plan release to a SIP Day dismissal. SIP Day dismissals will be in place this Wednesday (8/23), Thursday (8/24), and Friday (8/25).
Due to an AT&T outage, all Peotone Schools are without internet and are unable to receive phone calls at this time (8/18). AT&T is aware of the issue and is looking to have it fixed as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
