The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory and excessive heat watch for our area until 8 p.m. Tuesday. District 202 uses the following guidelines on days with extremely hot and or humid weather:
• Recess/PE outdoors if the heat index is 90 degrees or below
• Recess/PE indoors if the heat index is above 95 degrees
The heat index takes into account both air temperature and relative humidity. If the heat index is between 91 degrees and 94 degrees principals can decide if students stay inside or go outdoors.
Afterschool sports
High and middle school athletic directors will communicate any changes to their communities. Please also watch middle and high school social media accounts for updates.

Hello Freedom Families,
Summer break is in full swing, but the new school year will be here before we know it! Blue Moose Sports Camp is a great way to help get your students back on schedule and ready to return to the classroom in August!
Plainfield Blue Moose Sports Camp is led by local, certified elementary PE and classroom teachers from Plainfield District 202, including Freedom's very own Mr. H., Mrs. Ziemnik, Miss O'Brien, and Miss Kramer!
The goal of Blue Moose is to "Build a Stronger Community Through Sports" and for children to develop a love for fitness and their overall health. We want students to put down their devices and to experience the joy of "Play".
Blue Moose provides a safe, fun, and positive atmosphere for kids to participate in some of their favorite PE and camp games. If your students love PE, they will love this camp!
During our first three weeks in June, Plainfield Blue Moose hosted over 500 students from our community and we have one more week left! The camp is open to any student who is entering 1st- 6th grade and will take place July 29- August 1 at Walker's Grove Elementary in Plainfield. The student does not need to attend a PSD202 school to participate in the camp.
Please check out the attached flyer or visit our website for more information!
