After many rounds Matthew Urbaniak was declared this year’s winner. Chase Player came in second.

------------------------------------------------------------
Car dismissal 
Child development and kindergarten dismissal is at 2:35. These parents can begin lining up at 2:30. For safety reasons, we are dismissing them first so that the teachers can walk them to their cars as much as needed.
If CD or 5K students have a sibling in 1st - 6th grade , we ask that you do not get in the line until 2:40 or after.
All other students that are car riders are not dismissed until 2:50. Please do not get into the car dismissal line until 2:40 or after so that the cars will not get backed up onto the highway waiting for the car rider students to be dismissed. Cars picking up students that are not dismissed at 2:35 are getting caught in the traffic for that dismissal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clemson/Carolina chain links 
The Beta club will begin selling chain links tomorrow through November 20th to
raise money for their state convention. For 25 cents, you may purchase a red/black
or orange/purple link to show support for your favorite team. The chain will be
displayed in the hallway. The more you buy, the longer the chain will become!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanksgiving lunch
We are inviting all parents to join us for our Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday,
November 15th. The menu will consist of Baked Turkey or ham, cornbread stuffing
or rice & gravy, baked sweet potato, green beans, fruit, roll, and pumpkin cake. The
cost of lunch: adults- $3.62 and children- $1.85. If you would like to join us, please
send the form back from the newsletter or call the school 498-6633.

Making Learning Fun!
Mrs. Davis and Ms. Teal really made learning fun by having their 5th grade classes build plant and animal cells. Some students even built them out of edible material, and the class was able to eat the project. It adds a whole new meaning to the phrase "the dog ate my homework" and really sank home the science skills for identifying cells.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parents are encouraged to schedule a meeting with their child's teacher on Oct. 30 or Nov. 1 from 3:00 pm-6:30 pm. If you are unable to meet during one of these times and would still like to schedule a meeting with your child's teacher, please, call the school and ask to schedule a time on another date. Parent\Teacher communication is vital to the success of our students. Plainview values input from parents and other caregivers and realizes that education starts at home.
Dr. Goodwin stated that he believes that these new dates will benefit parents and families. "Working parents often find the conferences held after school much more convenient to attend," says Goodwin. "Also, with Nov. 6 a scheduled holiday for elections, families are now free to have a four-day weekend break."
------------------------------------------------------------------
Halloween Carnival
Plainview will once again host our annual Halloween Carnival on October 25 from 6:00 pm- 8:00 pm. There will be plenty of fun and food for everyone!
We need parents to volunteer for an hour or two hours. Please, send a note to school by your child or call the school (498-6633) and sign up for a station and time slot.
Our Halloween Carnival is always a success, but it depends on volunteers like our parents to make it one!

Grandparent's Day
On Sept. 12, Plainview opened its doors and welcomed family members, especially grandparents, to eat breakfast with the students. We had about 60 visitors join us that morning! The line went half way down the upper hallway and into the cafeteria!
The cafeteria staff did a wonderful job of providing healthy and nutritious food. Thanks to all family members who came out and supported your students.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The First Days of School
Plainview opened its doors on August 22, 2012 and welcomed parents, students, and staff to another exciting year! Mrs. Melton, our principal, was so excited that she wouldn't even let a broken foot keep her away!
Kindergarten and Preschool had two beginning days so that the younger students could adjust better to starting school and the teachers could help them in small groups. Half of the 4K and 5K started school on August 22 and half started on August 23. By Friday, August 24, everyone was in class ready to start the
2012-13 school year.Things quickly got back into a routine as students began to work.
We even had two of Chesterfield County's finest officers to assist in drop off and dismissal. Not only were they helpful but the students seemed to enjoy interacting with them, too.
It was a great start to what will be a wonderful year here at Plainview Elementary!

Dear Parent:
It is important for your child to be in school whenever possible. When students are tardy to school and signed-out early, it causes a number of disruptions to the academic instruction in our school. Policy states that students have to be inside the classroom by 8:00 when the announcements begin. If your child gets here after this time, a parent must come in and sign the child in to school. This will then be considered a tardy. Along the same lines, a student being signed out early is missing instruction time as well. Our school day officially ends at 2:50, so any student getting signed-out before this time will be considered early sign-out. Also, students that are signed out early for doctor and dentist appointments are excused with a doctor note. However, if the appointment is in the morning, the student needs to return to school if possible.
Tardy and Early Sign-out Policy
3 Tardies/early sign-out= Mailed letter
6 tardies/early sign-out = 1 hour ISD, Parent Contact, mailed letter
9 tardies/early sign-out = ½ day ISD, Parent contact, mailed letter
12 tardies/early sign-out = 1 day ISS, Parent contact, mailed letter
15 tardies/early sign-out = 1 day OSS
As we do with tardies and absences, doctor notes (appointments) will excuse the early sign-out. ______________________________________________________
