Crystal Lawns Families,
As you prepare for the beginning of the school year, please remember that lead testing is required for all students entering PreK, Kindergarten, and any students (age 6 and under) who are new to District 202. A student's physical examination will be considered incomplete if the required blood lead test documentation is missing. Please contact the main office at (815) 436-9519 if you have any questions. Enjoy the remainder of summer break.
Plainfield Fest is right around the corner!
This year’s celebration will include a special opportunity for children and individuals with special needs to enjoy the carnival before the crowds arrive.
On Friday, July 17, from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m., the carnival will offer a sensory-friendly hour with slower ride speeds, no flashing lights and quieter surroundings to help create a more comfortable experience for everyone.
Admission to Plainfield Fest during this special hour is free for participating individuals with special needs and their parents/guardians (ride tickets are required).
This year’s Plainfield Fest runs July 17-19.
Your child's supplies kit has everything they need, pre-packed and ready to go- no hunting down each item on the list.
Order by 11:59 pm on July 1st at : http://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/gs/31635
Don't wait, orders close in 7 days, and we'd hate for your family to miss out!
Registration is open for the 2026/2027 school year!
