Students and staff will have a regular school day.
Get Inspired at Summer Academy!

Can you remember a time in your life when you tried something new for the first time and it sparked a new hobby or passion? Or how about a time when you stopped to reflect on a day of fun, and you ended up realizing how much you ad learned and grown? The goal of Pleasantdale's Summer Academy is to provide these types of moments for our learners! We want to inspire greatness and spark new interests in our students this summer!
Summer Academy + Summer Park District Camp = Full Day of Summer Fun!!

We are excited to announce that the Pleasant Dale Park District has coordinated with the school district to provide an opportunity for families to send their children to Park District Summer Camp for a reduced rate. Sign your child up for Summer Academy classes at Pleasantdale Middle School in the morning, and pair this with the Pleasant Dale Park District summer camp in the afternoon for a full day of summer fun!  *This opportunity is available only for families with children attending all 3 sessions of Summer Academy classes.*  The reduced camp rate would be $125 for each week of Summer Camp for families involved in both the Park District Summer Camp and the Summer Academy Classes. For additional information and questions, please contact the Pleasant Dale Park District Recreation Supervisor Eric Sloyan (630) 662-6220.

De ar Pleasantdale Families,

We are very excited to let you know that we are hosting a presentation designed specifically for parents of children in 3rd through 8th grades entitled, "It's More Than 'Just Say No': Raising Resilient and Drug-Free Kids" on  Thursday, April 5, 2018 from 7-8:30 p.m. at Pleasantdale Middle School in the all-purpose room/cafeteria.   
This informative session, presented by Rosecrance Health Network, guides parents in how to teach resiliency skills to your 3rd through 8th grader, better equipping your children to make good decisions now and later in life.  We firmly believe that parents are the first line of defense in preventing their children from experimenting and using drugs. It is never too early to lay the foundation for a drug-free lifestyle.  Registration is recommended and can be accessed at  http://www.rosecrance.org/events/?ee=884.
Please click  here to watch a one-minute video about the event.  
For questions about this event, please contact Annette Bowden at  [email protected] or  815.387.5607 or me.  
If you can't make the event on this date, please consider going to the  April 25, 2018 offering at Oak Park School District 97 by visiting  http://www.rosecrance.org/drugfreekids/.
We really hope to see you on Thursday, April 5 at 7 p.m. at the middle school!
