Peotone Early Education Program

Last night, we had the privilege of hosting Detective Rich Wistocki, a nationally recognized expert in Child CyberSafety and Cybercrimes. His presentation, “Keeping Our Kids CyberSafe,” was eye-opening, highly informative, and incredibly relevant for today’s digital world. We understand that May is a very busy time for families. To ensure all parents have access to this valuable information, we’re pleased to provide a recording of the presentation. Key topics included: “Not My Kid” – Breaking the myth and recognizing warning signs Online safety on platforms like Roblox and other popular games The “Gold Ticket” for technology Practical tools and strategies for monitoring social media and digital activity We encourage you to take some time to watch the presentation and equip yourself with strategies to help keep your children safe online.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the first presenter in our Peotone Parent Partnership Series on Thursday, May 15, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. The event will feature Detective Rich Wistocki from the Be Sure Consulting CyberSafe Schools Team. Detective Wistocki is a nationally recognized expert in High Technology Cyber Crimes and will share proactive strategies, expert insights, and invaluable resources for ensuring children's cyber safety. We recognize that May is a busy month, but we believe this presentation is especially important as we head into summer—a time when students’ technology usage tends to increase. Resources will be shared for those who cannot attend, but we hope to see you there! Please see the attached flyer for all the details.

We held our second District SPARK Day today, and staff members were SPARKING warmth and gratitude across Peotone 207u. It is so wonderful to have these days to connect through the entire district and show our appreciation for our staff and each other. Staff wore Spark Shirts or anything orange and visited the lounge to complete the Cups of Gratitude Activity. They enjoyed coffee, cocoa, and cookies. Staff had a chance to earn raffle tickets throughout the day for special raffle prizes. Our SPARK Survey was This or That: Winter Edition. See the Staff SPARK Survey Results below! A huge thank you to the Peotone Education Foundation for donating the raffle prizes and treats for this SPARK Day!
