Back-to-School Blueprint

Thank you for visiting our Back-to-School Blueprint landing page. The purpose of this page is to provide the Pleasantdale Community with information and updates about the start of the 2020-2021 school year. Our plan to reopen schools is dynamic as conditions in our country, state, and region are in a constant state of flux. Please bookmark this site and check back often for updates and information.

Governor Pritzker released the Restore Illinois plan on May 5, 2020 which outlines the various phases of reopening public life. Our plan is based on the Restore Illinois document as well as guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Board of Education. We have developed three documents that help guide our reopening. These documents where developed in consultation with the District's eLearning Steering Committee and can be accessed by clicking the icons below.
