The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory and excessive heat watch for our area until 8 p.m. Tuesday. District 202 uses the following guidelines on days with extremely hot and or humid weather:
• Recess/PE outdoors if the heat index is 90 degrees or below
• Recess/PE indoors if the heat index is above 95 degrees
The heat index takes into account both air temperature and relative humidity. If the heat index is between 91 degrees and 94 degrees principals can decide if students stay inside or go outdoors.

Drauden Point Middle School eighth graders experienced "real life" on April 14 during the Game of Life simulation. Students moved to different stations to randomly choose their career, family, income, and expenses then created a budget to see how they lived. They also participated in a service project and learned hands-only CPR from Joliet Fire Department personnel.
