It's time to Fall Back this weekend! If you have clocks or watches that need to be adjusted, don't forget that this is the weekend to do it, and enjoy that extra hour of sleep. This is also a great time to change the batteries in smoke alarms. #QuakerSafe
So proud of the PHS Student Government for hosting another successful blood drive. 94 pints of blood were collected, 282 lives were impacted and 79 first-time donors participated. On behalf of the community, THANK YOU to these students and staff! #QuakerFaces
Happy November!
The Halloween Parade is a highlight of October for our youngest Quakers, and it is always so much fun for Clarks Creek students and staff, and district office staff, to watch! The photos that follow are just several glimpses into the fun that our Little Quakers Academy students have throughout the year. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=pcscquakers&set=a.3940910726009258
We're thrilled to have John on our team, and equally thrilled to celebrate his story. https://www.sycamoreservices.com/2021/10/12/sycamore-services-participant-dishing-up-good-eats-in-hendricks-county/
At last evening's School Board meeting, we honored these students who were recognized for the September Community Value of Dignity/Self-Esteem. Their letters of nomination reflect their big hearts, their actions and the hope we should all feel for our future. #ThePlainfieldWay

Don't forget that the October board meeting is this week due to Fall Break! Tomorrow evening, 7 pm in the Board Room or on our YouTube channel.
Important dates to remember in October!
District administrators love being invited to assist in classrooms. Today, Asst. Superintendent Mr. Wolfe (he oversees budgets and operations) ran Mrs. Carter's classroom store, with the lesson "Interest free loans for good behavior!" What a great way to spend a Friday afternoon.
Today is the final day of College Go! Week, and at PHS, the teachers are sporting their gear! From IU to Purdue, Indiana State to Ball State, Hanover to Franklin, Trine to Taylor, plus IUPUI, The Herron School of Art & Design, Butler, UIndy, Ohio State and Michigan State, DePauw and probably one or two more that I've missed, these outstanding educators have earned their stripes, and we thank them for every ounce of knowledge and passion they pour into their work. #GoQuakers!

9-19-21: Quaker Families: Due to the ongoing bus driver shortage, Mr. Shepard will be sending ParentSquare alerts this evening regarding several late routes tomorrow. For safety reasons, we will not post bus numbers online, but we encourage you to check your email or the ParentSquare app to see if you’ve been notified. At the same time, we have been troubleshooting some issues with our messaging system, and we will be sending a lengthy email tomorrow with important information about the steps we are taking to address those problems. We know both of these issues create a challenge for many of our families, and we assure you we are doing everything possible to resolve the situation. We apologize for the challenges, and we will keep you updated on our progress.
