District launches new entrepreneurship program

District 202 cut the ribbon on four new entrepreneurship classrooms, featuring the INCubator program, at all four high schools on Thursday, August 8, 2024.

INCubatoredu is a national program that provides specialized curriculum to hundreds of member schools in more than a dozen states.

The program provides online instruction materials, consultation on how the classroom is designed, a coaching and mentoring framework and professional development resources for the year-long course.

“Kids learn best by doing and that’s exactly what this is about and it’s a great collaboration with the community,” said Dr. Kate Morris, District 202’s Director of High School Curriculum and Instruction.

Plainfield North High School senior earns perfect score on ACT on first try

Plainfield North High School senior Anushka Menon earned a perfect “36” on the ACT college entrance exam, on her first try.

Less than half of one percent of students who take the ACT earn the top score.

“I was shocked, happy, and relieved all at the same time,” Menon said.

Menon said she couldn’t believe the news.

Then she did it again with the SAT, landing in the 99th percentile with a score of 1530 out of a possible 1600.

ALICE training updates for 2024-2025

District administration works very closely with all the law enforcement agencies that serve our community to provide safe, supportive working and learning environments.

In collaboration with local authorities, we continuously update and review our safety protocols. To that end, we have been working for many years with the Plainfield Police Department to enhance our lockdown procedures by implementing the new, “best practice” protocol called “A.L.I.C.E.”

We are re-training students and staff on A.L.I.C.E., this fall.
