Starting January 15th, Plainfield School District will launch its new website platform. Going forward, the Wesmere administration will primarily use the website for all communication, except for information requiring immediate attention.
The new website will feature:
- A calendar updated with essential dates for the remaining school year, with new dates added as necessary.
- News posts containing general updates, previously communicated in our weekly update, organized by topic.
- A live feed connected to our Facebook page, sharing the Wesmere experience.
- A "School Newsletter" button, leading to an ongoing Google Doc housing all news updates in one place.
This new communication approach, in collaboration with our PTO, aims to create a one-stop shop for information. The introduction of an app is a particularly exciting aspect.
Please take a few minutes to watch the video below to learn more about the app. If you download the app and set Wesmere as one of your schools, you'll receive notifications on your phone when the website is updated (if you choose that setting).

As we move into the winter months, students will continue to go outdoors for recess so long as the temperature is 20 degrees or above with the wind chill. Please send your child to school with clothing and outerwear to keep them warm. Students will not be permitted to stay indoors during recess without a doctor’s note.
Once the snow is on the ground, students will need the following to play in the snow: a coat, hat, gloves, snow pants and boots
Students without the Magic 5 will remain on the blacktop outdoors.
