Hi Parents / Guardians,
Final exam information can be found using the link below.
This year, our district-wide focus is GO BIG BLUE, a theme that aligns with our Peotone High School vision and our Portrait of a Graduate. Each month, we spotlight one key aspect of GO BIG BLUE and celebrate the students and staff who truly exemplify it through our GO BIG BLUE Spotlight Recognition Program.
For October, our focus was “Inspire with Empathy" – recognizing individuals who are kind and caring toward others. They notice how people are feeling and try to help. They make others feel seen, heard, and supported.
We are proud to recognize the following staff for exemplifying “Inspire with Empathy!”

At Governors State University, we understand the increasing need for highly qualified Elementary Educators to support students from first through sixth grade. This initial teaching licensure program is geared toward future educators who want to lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
Our Elementary Education program (123-135 credit hours, 4 years) will expand your knowledge of the subject matter content in elementary school curricula while preparing you for teaching through a combination of various field experiences and supervised student teaching.
Key Features of our Elementary Education Program:
Modality: Courses are offered face-to-face during the day, to provide candidates with a hands-on, enriching learning environment.
Field Experiences: Candidates engage in practical, hands-on experiences within elementary schools, gaining real world practice and insight in the roles and responsibilities of an elementary educator.
Focus on Equity and Inclusion: Our program emphasizes culturally responsive and inclusive practices, preparing educators to work effectively with students from diverse racial/ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Support for Licensure Requirements: At GovState, we provide guidance on meeting state requirements, including preparation for licensure exams, and the integration of field experience hours and student teaching.
Bonus! Dual licensure in middle grades (grades 5-8) ELA, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies is available. This can be completed with one additional, 3-credit, online course, and passage of the appropriate ILTS Middle Grades Exam.
Meeting Your Needs
The Elementary Education program is designed to meet your needs:
Admission into the program, beginning in either the Fall or Spring semesters.
Coursework is predictably scheduled 2-3 days per week to permit students to manage a job schedule and quality school and field experience work.
Assessment preparation for the ILTS 305 licensure exam.
Experienced professors are readily accessible to provide additional support for students’ learning as needed.
Let Us Support Your Educational Goals
We are excited to work with high school students interested in becoming Elementary educators. Learn why Governors State University is the best choice for your future education by visiting GovState, attending an informational session, or attending an open house.

PreK - No e-learning assignments
PES - Grade-level choice boards
PIC/PJHS/PHS - Assignments will be posted on Google Classroom/online
All after-school activities will be canceled, and all buildings will be closed. We apologize for any inconvenience; however, student and staff safety is our ultimate priority.
Thank you for your understanding, and stay safe!

We are aware of the winter storm warning that will be in effect late evening and tomorrow morning. We are monitoring the forecast closely and keeping in contact with area schools. With the continuous changes to the forecast, it is difficult to predict how we will be affected. Because of that, any decision will most likely be made early tomorrow morning (Monday, November 10th). If the decision is made to cancel school or transition to an e-learning day, we will share that information as soon as possible tomorrow morning. No communication means that we will be in session.
It was so exciting to see the wave of blue across the district for our Big Blue District Day on Friday! These special days are also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our amazing staff!
