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
We're 20 minutes away from the start of the October School Board meeting, where we are thrilled to have students with us to receive awards for the September Community Value of Dignity/Self-Esteem. Watch via YouTube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLqrtttjOZE
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!
Quaker Conversations will take place Monday, October 4 at 6 pm in the Administration Building (985 Longfellow Ln). This is an opportunity for the public to ask questions of school administrators and the school board. Please enter Door #2.
At its last Board Meeting, the School Board approved the transfer policy for the 2022-2023 school year. Key points: transfer students will be accepted for all grades and applications will be accepted from February 1 - June 15. Details: https://www.plainfield.k12.in.us/browse/5231

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.
