Hello Blackhawk Families,
Monday, September 1, 2025 is no school due to the observance of Labor Day! Classes will resume on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. On September 2nd our students can enter the building for breakfast at 7:50am and our school day begins at 8:15am.

Starting school is a big milestone for our youngest learners, and giving them a chance to visit before the first day helps make that transition smoother, more comfortable, and more successful. Our Kindergarten students are being invited to "Unpack the Backpack". I am excited to see our Kindergarten students and families! Join us at Blackhawk Primary Center, located at 130 Blackhawk Drive, Park Forest, Illinois 60466, on Tuesday, August 19th, from 3:15 pm-4:15 pm.
