WELCOME BACK
PLUM GROVE BACK TO SCHOOL DETAILS
BELL SCHEDULE
Here is a link to the Plum Grove Bell Schedule as a reference. Students will use this bell schedule and their own schedule to move through their classes each day. Teachers will be taking attendance for classes at the beginning of the school day, and for each class period. It is important that students are on time and ready for learning for each of their classes.
LUNCH HOUR
During the first quarter we will have lunch tables assigned by homeroom. This will allow our lunch room supervisors to build relationships with students, ensure safety and help students acclimate to their lunch hour schedule. Students have the ability to purchase a lunch or bring their own lunch. For specific information in regards to our nutritional services please click this link.
EARLY RELEASE FRIDAY
Just a reminder that every Friday students are released at 1:25 pm. Every school in the district leaves earlier on Fridays.
LOCKERS
Students will have lockers that will be assigned to them the first day of school. The teachers will work with the students in learning their combination locks. The lockers are located near their homeroom class, which is their first period class.
PARENT HANDBOOK
The district has a parent handbook, that is a great resource for our families. This handbook provides parents with several answers to questions that have been brought up about different procedures, polices and protocols district-wide.
WALK YOUR SCHEDULE
ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL AND DISMISSAL
BUS RIDERS
Students that take a school bus to school will be dropped off in the main parking lot. They will also be picked up from the same location at the end of the day. It is extremely important that students know their bus route numbers so they can find their bus at the end of the day in the parking lot.
CAR RIDERS
As you pull into the parking lot please watch for any directional signs. If you enter from Old Plum Grove Road you may only turn right when entering the parking lot to avoid our bus traffic. Please follow the flow of traffic for everyone's safety.
