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 pajama pictures, and once they have collected them all, students will participate in a "Pajama Day".

Our next trimester reward day is coming up in January. Students will participate in a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) Day during Library class.

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

• Please consider becoming a PTO member. Membership packets with the PTO calendar were sent home recently with your student. Your sponsorship of the PTO helps to provide additional funds to our schools. It only costs $6.00 per person to become a member! All money will stay with the Pen Argyl PTO and go towards our children. Parents, relatives, and friends are welcome to join by filling out and sending back the form that was sent home with cash/check (written out to Pen Argyl PTO) or through the CheddarUp link here: my.cheddarup.com/c/2024-2025-penargylpto-sponsorship-drive
• The next PTO Meeting is on January 9th at 6 PM in the WGMS Library.
• PTO Book BINGO is scheduled for 1/17 in the Plainfield Cafeteria.

• Extra entrees at lunch are available to be purchased daily in the cafeteria. If your child would like to purchase an extra entree, they must have money in their account. If you do not want your child to purchase extra entrees you must send it in writing to the school and it will be noted on the account.

• To add funds to your child's account on Skyward, click the FOOD SERVICE tab. Next to your student’s name is a hyperlink for “Make a Payment.” This will take you to RevTrak where you can use a credit card. There is a fee through this site.
• You can send in cash or a check with your child to turn into the school office or the cafeteria cashier. Please place cash or check in a sealed envelope with “Cafeteria Payment, Student’s Name and Student ID #” on the outside. If sending in a check, please make it payable to Pen Argyl Area School District and indicate “Cafeteria Payment” in the memo.
• Just a reminder, breakfast is available daily, except for 2 hour delays, free of charge through Gov. Shapiro's universal free breakfast program.
