Last night, we had the privilege of hosting Detective Rich Wistocki, a nationally recognized expert in Child CyberSafety and Cybercrimes. His presentation, “Keeping Our Kids CyberSafe,” was eye-opening, highly informative, and incredibly relevant for today’s digital world.
We understand that May is a very busy time for families. To ensure all parents have access to this valuable information, we’re pleased to provide a recording of the presentation.
Key topics included:
“Not My Kid” – Breaking the myth and recognizing warning signs
Online safety on platforms like Roblox and other popular games
The “Gold Ticket” for technology
Practical tools and strategies for monitoring social media and digital activity
We encourage you to take some time to watch the presentation and equip yourself with strategies to help keep your children safe online.

Detective Wistocki is a nationally recognized expert in High Technology Cyber Crimes and will share proactive strategies, expert insights, and invaluable resources for ensuring children's cyber safety.

This is a reminder to participate in the parent survey supplement, part of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey administration. A parent survey report will be generated if at least 20 percent of parents/guardians respond to the survey. While the parent data will not be made public, the parent report will be made available to the building and district administration and will enable them to make considerations based on the responses given by Peotone parents/guardians. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement.
These research-based reports will be sent to schools and districts in May and will also be included in the State School Report Card, released statewide in the fall.
Please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ to take the parent survey.
This Friday (March 14th) marks the end of our 3rd Quarter for Peotone Schools. As a reminder, we will be operating under a Common Plan schedule on Friday.

We need your help in getting 20% of our parents to respond to this survey for each school! You can access the survey by clicking on the following link: https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/
