SPECIAL MESSAGES:

• Our second “D. 202 Talks” pod/videocast this year addresses the District 202’s many efforts to support our students’ social-emotional needs so they have every chance for success in school. This topic is especially critical now during the pandemic.

• Unfortunately, the 69th annual Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade that would have been held tomorrow, was cancelled because of the pandemic.

However, many families and staff shared pictures of themselves and their students in their Homecoming finest!

Please continue to send us your Homecoming photos to commrelations@psd202.org

CENSUS

• A federal judge has extended the deadline to complete the 2020 Census until October 31st, (for now, anyway.)

So, again, please take a minute to complete the Census if you haven’t already. This is critically important to our state and community:

Please go to http://my2020census.gov, and THANK YOU!
