This page includes the essential information to help our new families make your District 202 journey as smooth and successful as possible. However, you are always welcome and encouraged to call your home school(s) or Director of Community Relations Tom Hernandez directly for more information or help.
GOING TO SCHOOL
District 202 students attend schools based on their home address, enrollment and other logistical considerations, not necessarily their proximity to a particular school.
Like most Illinois school districts, District 202 charges families a small fee to help offset the cost of each child's education. Fees depend on the student's grade level and activities.
District 202 partners with the C.W. Avery YMCA to provide before and after-school childcare through the Y's "KidZone" program in all 17 of our elementary schools.
LEARNING
District 202 District 202 creates its own curriculum through a multi-year process aligned to local, state and national learning standards.
District 202 provides a wide range of special education services, in compliance with state and federal law to support and ensure that all students have every chance to succeed in and out of the classroom.
District 202 students can participate in a wide range of athletics, and non-athletic, club and social activities. Please contact your school's main office and/or the Athletic Office directly for more information.
District 202 schools are CLOSED March 17th-April 7th per Gov. Pritzker's order.
Schools are scheduled to re-open on Wed., April 8th at the earliest. We will update families if this date changes.
Please see the "Coronavirus" site on this page for the most current information for parents, staff and community, including details about optional extended learning opportunities and more.

The Spanish Community Center in Joliet is also hosting a food pantry every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its office, 309 N Eastern Ave, Joliet. Just bring an ID of any kind (student ID/state ID/Daybreak Shelter ID, etc).
The Illinois State Board of Education has deemed the two-week mandated closure as “Act of God” days. Therefore, they will not be made up at the end of the year. As well, student grades cannot be issued during Act of God days.
