The Jim Plain Insider

We aspire to be a safe and loving community that empowers students to be lifelong learners who positively contribute to the world.

Our first round of STAAR testing for our 3rd-5th graders begins next week! Please be sure your student gets plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast to fuel their brains and bodies for the day. Our campus will be closed to visitors on testing days, so please know that if you come up to campus to volunteer or eat lunch with your child, we will not be able to allow you into the building. You will still be able to drop off any items left at home as usual. Just to note, first grade and third grade will swap lunch times on Tuesday, so first grade lunch will be at 10:20 and third grade lunch will be at 11:30. We appreciate your understanding and support!

Important dates below include everything from now until the end of the year. More information to come on end of year celebrations, graduations, and student-led conferences, but we wanted you all to have the dates as early as possible.

Have a great week,

💗Mrs. Ulatoski

As we move into the end of the year, we would like to give you the opportunity to give us input on your child for the coming year's class placements. This is OPTIONAL and NOT a teacher request form.

At our school, we believe that every child deserves a high-quality education in a classroom environment that supports their growth and success. For this reason, we will not accept teacher requests. Our staff carefully considers each child’s academic, social, and emotional needs when creating balanced class rosters to ensure the best learning experience for all students. This process allows us to build diverse, well-rounded classrooms where students can thrive while fostering new friendships and strengthening their adaptability. We appreciate your trust in our professional judgment and our commitment to providing a positive and equitable learning experience for every student!

If you choose to complete the form, please fill out a separate form for each child. THIS FORM WILL TURN OFF ON APRIL 25th!

Transportation registration is now open for the 25-26 school year. Every year all eligible students are required to register to ride the bus. Please be sure to register by May 31st to guarantee your child(ren) will have bus transportation starting on the first day of school! Click here to register your child(ren)!

Challenge yourself to keep your heart healthy! Take the first step and sign up on our school's Kids Heart Challenge page! Then send messages from your KHC page to friends and family to spread heart health awareness far and wide! The heart challenge ends April 25th!
