District 202's Plainfield Parent Community Network - PPCN 10/1/26 Event

The Plainfield Parent Community Network (PPCN) community event for Plainfield School District 202 (PSD202), held October 1, 2026, featured Dr. Joe Sweeney, assistant superintendent of operations for Lamont School District, speaking about supporting children’s independence and well-being. Drawing on experiences as an educator and parent, he offered guidance for families from elementary through high school, including gradually stepping back as children mature, helping them develop routines and communication skills, listening without immediately fixing problems, supporting extracurricular involvement, and modeling healthy technology habits and respectful behavior. He also discussed maintaining communication with schools and advocating when a child’s needs, including IEP-related needs, are not being met.
