Parent/Student Handbooks
Parent/Student Handbooks can be accessed through a link on Plain Elementary’s Web-site Home Page. If you need a hard copy, please request one through the front office. Please sign the page sent home in your “Back to School Packet” indicating you have reviewed our handbook with your child & return the form to school. Thanks!
Dismissal Tags
Parents must obtained school issued transportation tags through the front office. Each family will be issued two car tags. These tags must be displayed in the car windshield when picking students up in the car dismissal line. Staff members will use this tag to dismiss students from supervised holding areas. Students will only be dismissed to parents or designees with the assigned tag.
Walker Tags
All students who are kindergarten and first grade walkers will be tagged each day. A designated staff member will meet a parent or designee at the corner of Neely Ferry Road and Seminole Drive where our crosswalk is located and match the student’s tag number with the card you are issued. The designee may be a fourth or fifth grade student at Plain. Any kindergarten or first grade walker who does not have a designee present, will be taken back to the school office. The parent or designee will be required to come to the school office to pick up the child at this point.
Cafeteria Meal Prices
Students – Paid Lunch $2.50 Reduced Lunch $0.40
Adult - $3.80
Universal free breakfast for all students

Water Bottles
Students are permitted to bring insulated bottles to school so they can drink water throughout the day. However, due to incidents of water damage to library books, chrome books, and textbooks, we are requiring students to hand carry their water bottles to and from school. Teachers will have a designated place in classrooms for students to store water bottles during the instructional day.
Attendance Reminder
Please remember that students need to be in their classrooms ready to learn at 7:45. Thank you for helping to get your child to school on time. If a child is not in their classroom by the 8:00 bell, they will be marked tardy.
