As the new Social Media Coordinator for the union, I thought it might be wise to introduce myself!
My name is Nick Block and I started with the district in 2013 at Plainfield High School then transferred to Wesmere Elementary in 2015 to take over the Head Custodian role. Prior to working for the district, I earned my Bachelors degree from the University of St. Francis in Fine Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design, so I am quite familiar with all things media & design.
I am excited to lend my expertise to the union’s web content!
Message from the ESP Council Chair: Welcome back to school You may think I’m a little bit crazy, but by the end of summer I am usually ready to get back into my school building and see the kids. This year is no different. I am a person who needs a schedule and structure, or I can get into a funk.

District 202 has long recognized the need to support social-emotional learning to help improve and assure students’ academic success.
In recent years, the district has created and implemented ten new programs, services, resources, and professional development to help students address emotional challenges and succeed in and out of the classroom.
Among other initiatives, District 202 hired 20 new social workers district-wide; created anonymous social-emotional learning hotlines; and hosted community programs about suicide prevention and mental health first aid.
District 202 social workers, special education administrators and counselors formed the PPCN in fall 2016 to support parents with common parenting needs. A committee comprising district administrators, principals, counselors, and community members oversees the PPCN.
Professional development credits (CEUs and CPDUs) will be available for teachers and counselors attending this program.
Please visit www.plainfieldpcn.org for more information about the PPCN including podcasts of past programs.
