Mrs. Walwer’s 4th grade class enjoyed a craft with PBL golfer, Johnny Rodeen! 🐾
Happy National Custodian Day! A huge thank you for all you do. You make a tremendous difference in our schools and have a great impact on our students. We appreciate you keeping our hallways clean and always lending a hand for school events.
The Kindergarten classes celebrated introducing all of our letters! The Kindergarten classes had an Alphabet Fashion Show! They designed their letter vests at home and brought them to school to share! Mr. Wright presented each student with a certificate! The ENTIRE school then filled the hallways and the commons at Clara Peterson to cheer on our young Panthers as they had a LETTER PARADE! Our Kindergarten students were so proud and excited! It was an AMAZING day!

PBL families,
The City of Paxton, with Clark Dietz’s assistance, is preparing a funding application for the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School Grant Program for the Clayton Hale Pedestrian Bridge Rehabilitation Project. The Safe Routes to School Grant Program provides funding to improve conditions for school children to walk or bike to school.
In order to assist, we are asking parents to complete a survey about students walking and biking to school.

📚 Every Day Counts: Let’s Tackle Chronic Absenteeism Together 🎓
Did you know missing just 2 days a month can lead to chronic absenteeism? That adds up quickly—and can impact a student’s ability to read on grade level, stay engaged, and graduate on time.
That’s why our district partners with the Champaign-Ford ROE 9 Attendance Improvement Program. This initiative helps us:
✅ Monitor attendance more closely
✅ Identify patterns early
✅ Work directly with families to remove barriers to regular school attendance
🏫 School success starts with showing up—every day, on time, ready to learn. Together, we can support our students in building strong attendance habits for a brighter future.
📞 If you need support, don’t wait—reach out to your students’ school! We’re here to help.

Happy September Attendance Month! This is a great time to celebrate the importance of showing up for school every day. When students attend regularly, they're more likely to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
PBL high school fall sports athletes have been welcomed into our classrooms at Clara Peterson. Just last Friday, 18 athletes visited CP to read, play games, do crafts, and build relationships with students. The athletes will continue to visit us every Friday throughout their season.

“Be Present, Be Powerful!
Good Habits = Great Attendance = Success at School!
As we kick off the new year, it’s the perfect time to build strong routines at home that set students up for success! Here are 3 simple habits that can make a BIG difference:
📅 Set a consistent bedtime & morning routine
A good night’s sleep and a calm morning help students feel ready to learn.
🎒 Prep the night before
Pack backpacks, lay out clothes, and talk about what tomorrow will bring!
⏰ Prioritize daily attendance
Every school day counts. When students show up, they grow—socially, emotionally, and academically!
Let’s work together to help every student show up ready to shine ✨
