Dear Plainfield Families,
I hope that you are enjoying the warm and sunny summer days! I am looking forward to welcoming students to Plainfield for the 2024-2025 school year and wanted to share some important information to help you prepare for the first days of school.
Campus Parent Portal and Class Assignments: Starting August 12, you will be able to see your child(ren)’s class assignment(s) for the 2024-2025 school year in the Campus Parent Portal. If you are new to District 62, you will need to sign up for the Campus Parent Portal. Information about the Campus Parent Portal including how to sign up can be accessed here. If you have difficulty signing up for the Campus Parent Portal, please contact our Main office at 847-824-1301 for assistance.
