As we start the morning commute, the light snow is making the roads a little bit slick. Please take your time and be safe this morning. Let's have a great last day before heading to winter break!

Huge congrats to our 15 State Scholars! That's DOUBLE last year's number! These students represent the top 10% of HS grads in Illinois. They've shown exceptional academic achievement and dedication to their studies. We're incredibly proud of their accomplishments and excited to see what they'll achieve in the future!


Good morning! As we start the final week before winter break, I want to remind everyone that Friday will be an early dismissal day. The dismissal times will follow the same schedule as our typical Tuesday early outs:
• CP: 1:30
• HS: 1:40
• JH: 1:47
Let’s make it a great week!


As we enter the winter months, be prepared for inclement weather and do your best to stay healthy. Attendance is still very important at this time of year!


Just a heads up that bus 3 is running a little behind this morning. Sorry for any inconvenience. Have a great Tuesday!

PBL was saddened to learn of Mike Tipsord's passing late last week. Tips is a 1971 Paxton grad who worked locally and has assisted with the PBL cross country and track teams since 2007. His impact on the youth in these programs is immeasurable.
