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.
From Transportation Department:
Bus Schedules were mailed out yesterday. If you do not receive anything by Monday please feel free to call us- 708-258-9605
Loved getting to spend the morning with our new teaching staff for "Coffee with Carole" chatting about building routines and procedures!
Teacher assignments are live! Parents will need to go online to https://powerschool.peotoneschools.org/public/. Once you are logged in under your child, look for “Grades and Attendance” to find your child’s Teacher’s Name. If you are a new student to the district or you do not have a previous account, you should have received a PowerSchool Account login information sheet from the district with your login credentials. If you do not have your login information, please contact the district registrar at 708-258-0991 x3112.
Kindergarten families will be able to sign up for Meet and Greet appointments when they go live at 2:30pm today. You can access them on the home page (news) section of the Peotone Elementary School webpage (pes.peotoneschools.org) or an email with links will be sent as well at 2:30pm. You can sign up once you know teacher assignment found in Powerschool or included in the mailed home packets for kindergarten students. Packets should be arriving over the next few days.
Thank you!
📣 Calling all PES families and fans of our school community! Please help me welcome our PES Rookies of the Year! We're excited to introduce a dynamic roster of new teaching staff who are ready to join our educational dream team!
The random rain couldn’t ruin our special afternoon! Thank you to all the students and families that came out to Popsicles with the Principal! We had fun listening to two new stories in the library then enjoyed a Popsicle Picnic in the hallways! The rain cleared up and students had fun on the playground! I loved getting to see so many students and meeting some of our new kindergarten friends! It’s going to be a great school year!!
Here comes the rain and THUNDER! We will move inside to the library because the gym is being used right now. Please enter door 15 and then we will picnic with popsicles in the hallways :)
Hope to see all our incoming K-3 students and families at Popsicles with the Principal on Tuesday 8/8 from 4:00-5:00pm at Peotone Elementary School.
I just had a surprise visitor at PES! Ms. Bev from Helping Hands had to share the exciting news in person! PES raised over $4,000 in the beginning of April to Pack the Pantry with Produce all spring and summer long. Thanks to the generosity of our school community and families, Helping Hands has been able to provide fresh produce every other Wednesday on their distribution days since April until TODAY! How incredible! A HUGE thank you to Berkots for partnering with PES and Helping Hands to make this money go even farther for the families they serve.
Also, for the month of August 2023, Berkot’s in Peotone will be offering the opportunity for customers to “Round Up” their total bill for a donation to the Helping Hands food pantry!
