Dear Parents,

 

As we make our way through the “winter stretch”, we hope that all members of the Plains Community are having a positive school year.  Please continue to ensure that children wear a jacket to school, to help protect them against cold temperatures.  Remember to keep an eye on the local television station and listen to the local radio stations for any closings or delays that may occur.  We also have a link on the Plains Elementary web page regarding closings and delays.  Just go to the school website and click on the icon for closings and delays.  The icon is located on the right side, halfway down the page.  That will take you to an area where you can view e-mails from our transportation director regarding changes due to weather.  You can also register to have a text sent to your cell phone anytime there is a delay or closing in Rockingham County Public Schools.   All you need to do is go to the county website, click on the Parents/Students tab, click on the subject line that reads:  Parents can register to receive direct e-mails about school openings, closings, and delays, and follow the directions at that location.

 

This also tends to be a time when we experience a higher frequency of various illnesses in the school.  With these illnesses present in our school, regular attendance becomes more of an issue.  Please help your children understand when it is appropriate to come to school and when they should stay home.  By working together, we can keep the impact of these instances under control.

 

Have a Happy and Safe February,

 

Mr. Kile, Principal
