We are #202proud of our principals. Happy National Principals Month.

One lucky Charles Reed Elementary School kindergarten student won a ride to school in a fire truck last month. The Joliet Fire Department picked up the student and a friend from home, gave them a tour of the fire station, and dropped them at school. #202proud

What a day! The 73rd Plainfield Community Homecoming Parade filled downtown with music, school spirit, and community pride this past weekend!

This year’s theme, “Literary Legends – Celebrating Famous Characters from the Last 100 Years,” honored the Plainfield Area Public Library’s centennial. Leading the parade was Grand Marshal Mindy Jackson, the library’s School Services Librarian, who has spent decades inspiring a love of reading in District 202 students. 📚✨

A wonderful tradition for decades, the parade once again showcased the energy, talent, and pride of our schools and community.

The Ned Show is coming to Charles Reed tomorrow!!! Yoyo sales will begin following the show. If you need another order form just let your teacher know!

Tru-Green will be spraying for weeds on Monday, September 15 across the district.

Flags at all district buildings will fly at half-staff today in honor of Patriot Day. #202proud

All students MUST have a signed "Acceptable Use" form turned in by Friday, September 12th. If it is not turned in, access to your students device will be turned off. While many families have turned this in, we are still missing over 200! In grades 2 through 5 the "Acceptable Use Policy" is part of the student handbook form, if you turned that in - you are good. In grades kindergarten and 1st, there is one form (double sided). One side is the handbook and the other is the Acceptable Use Policy, both sides will need to be signed. If you need new forms please let your classroom teacher know.
Thank you,

Don't forget FALL PICTURE DAY is Tuesday, September 9th!

The Joliet Fire Department will be bringing a student to school on Monday, September 9th. During the summer Charles Reed held a kindergarten registration drive and all students who registered for kindergarten within the timeframe were entered to win a ride to school in a fire truck!
