Surveying our Stakeholders
Please know, that taking this survey does not mean that we will start an after school program. We are simply collecting data to determine if there is a great enough need in the community.
Thank you for your assistance!
Junior Fire Patrol
This year marks the 61st YEAR of Junior Fire Patrol for the Plainview Volunteer Fire Department!! Fifth grade students (and due to COVID cancelling last year's class - 6th grade students) and parents are invited to attend Junior Fire Patrol to learn the in’s and out’s of fire safety.
Classes will start on March 2nd and be held each Tuesday night for five weeks. Classes will last from 7p.m. until approximately 8:15p.m.
It is my hope that ALL fifth and sixth grade students are able to attend Junior Fire Patrol to learn fire safety and first aid skills.
BOGO Book Fair!!

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Routines
During after school pick-up, please remember that once the busses pull off we ask that all cars pull all the way past the elementary building to the west sidewalk. This allows several cars to pick-up students at the same time. Once that load is full, we ask that you once again pull all the way to the west sidewalk.
