PIC Parent Update

Dear PIC Families,

Happy Friday!

We are pleased to report that this week at PIC was productive. All students successfully completed their IAR assessments. We appreciate your support with the technology. Notably, we experienced a remarkable 100% attendance on Monday, an occurrence we have not seen in recent memory. Having every student present for the first day of testing was instrumental to our efforts. The students demonstrated commendable diligence and put forth their best efforts. Results will be distributed in the fall.

As a reminder, next week marks Spirit Week, and we will also enjoy our Wonder Movie field trip at PHS. Please note that school will be closed on Friday. Upon returning from the long weekend, our fifth graders will participate in the Illinois Science Assessment.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dear families,


Peotone Junior High is going to Italy and Greece in 2026! Come out to the meeting to learn more about scholarship opportunities and how you can make this dream a reality for your family.

It’s impossible to overstate the influence of Ancient
Rome and Greece on our modern-day society; seeing monuments from those
civilizations is a profound experience. From the Colosseum to the Parthenon to the expansive
archaeological sites at Pompeii, Epidaurus and Mycenae, walk in the footsteps
of the men and women who set the stage for the development of Western culture.

We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.eftours.com/45a5n48

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your student
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period

There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!

RSVP’s are mandatory for enrollment information and $200+ scholarship!


Thanks,
Patricia Heron
