Evaluations will be held for players in 8U- 13U at the Plainfield Middle School on Saturday, March 16. Times for the divisions are below. You can show up anytime in that window. This will be done indoors so wear tennis shoes. Bring a glove, helmet, and bat if you have them. If you do not have them, we will have some there to use. For those with a conflict and cannot make it, we understand. Those that cannot make it will still be placed on a team in a secondary draft done as a blind draw. We strongly encourage everyone to make evaluations to help ensure balanced teams.
Lassie (8U): 9:00-11:00
10U, 12U, 13U Fast and Slow: 12:00-2:00
Lil Misses will not need to be evaluated.
18U Fast Evaluations will be done in April.

Food Service Information
There are a couple of options for your child's lunch every day:
- Students can pack a lunch.
- Students may purchase a lunch. Please send a check or cash to school on the first day made out to Van Buren Cafeteria. Please put this in an envelope with your child's name, teacher's name, and amount enclosed. You can also use Efunds or Send Money to School to pay online.
Please visit www.plainfield.k12.in.us and click on "Food Services". On that page, you will find a link to the E-Funds for Schools secure payment server. When you get there, you can choose the payment method that is easiest for you.
Eating Lunch with your child
We love to see you come eat with your children! However, PLEASE remember to bring exact cash or check with you to purchase lunch for yourself or another visitor. We only have a small amount of cash in the register and cannot make change. Lunch is $2.50 for students and $3.25 for adults and visitors.
Also, since we have no way of knowing who puts money on the account, you cannot use your child's lunch card balance towards the purchase of your own lunch.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
Transportation Information
- Bus Riders-Here Comes the Bus app!- Available in three languages (English, Spanish and French), the Here Comes the Bus app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. You need the following two Pieces of Information to create an account:
Your child's student ID number (you use it to log in to Power School or update lunch balances; if you don't know it, your school's secretary can provide it for you.)
