Plainfield students strive to be HEROES each school day. HERO stands for:

H-Honesty

E- Empathy

R- Respectful

O- On Task

Each month, our PBIS team has planned a class incentive. Students work together with their classmates on things like raising their hands, walking quietly in the hallway, being kind to each other. A poster is displayed in the classroom that contains 10 pictures that the students earn for showing these positive behaviors. Once the students earn all the pictures, there is a school-wide reward they will be able to participate in. This month, each class will work to gather ten Disney pictures, and once they have collected them all, students will participate in a Disney Dress Up day. We will also have Disney trivia throughout the school day.

Please remind your child to be a HERO at Plainfield each day!

Please pass along this information to any parents of children planning to enroll in kindergarten this coming fall. Appointments for registration can be scheduled beginning March 10, 2025 by calling Mrs. Lakey at (610) 746-4436. Below is information about our spring session of Gearing Up Kindergarten, a great program to help prepare students for kindergarten.

A huge shout out to the PTO for their hard work and planning this school year. As our field trips are approaching this spring, I want to thank the PTO for providing the funds for our kids to attend these trips and experiences.
