Kids' Summer Lunch Bunch
The Lincoln Bank Charitable Foundation, through the Hendricks County Community Foundation, awarded the group a grant that made it possible to begin serving lunches in the summer of 2004. The Lunch Bunch operated with the support and guidance of the Hendricks County Community Foundation.
The Hendricks County community provides healthy sack lunches, free books, exercise and socialization to children of all ages during the summer months. The Lunch Bunch is funded through community donations and operated by volunteers. Each of the participating towns have customized programs based on local resources and preferences.
You can find this summer's schedule at http://www.kidssummerlunchbunch.org/schedule.php?Location=Plainfield-FranklinPark.

New field for parent info in PowerSchool
The Indiana General Assembly recently enacted House Enrolled Act 1319, which requires school corporations to annually report if a student’s parent or guardian is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States and meets the following criteria:
- is on active duty,
- is an active member of the reserve component of a branch of the Armed Forces, or
- is an active member of the National Guard.
In order to make it simple for those parents who are serving our country in one of these capacities, we’ve added a section to Power School. All parents will see this the next time they log in to Power School. If you meet the above criteria, please check the appropriate box. Likewise, you can select ‘no’ if this does not apply. Please note that the information is to be noted for each student enrolled in our schools.
We must compile this data for the current academic year; going forward, it will become part of the annual registration and information update process.
Join Our Team!

Transportation Arrival & Dismissal Info
All car riders arriving in the morning should be dropped off in our car rider lane NOT in our Visitor Parking lot. This ensures they are not crossing over any traffic.
Late Arrivals:
If you child is being dropped off late an adult must come into the office and sign them in.
Student Arrivals (bus riders):
If your child rides the bus to school and will be eating breakfast in the cafeteria please talk to them about going straight to the cafeteria to get their breakfast. This will give them the most time to eat as healthy of a breakfast as possible.Dismissal Changes:
- If you need to change your child's dismissal instructions the best way to do this is to send a signed note to your child's teacher.
- If this is impossible please call the office NO LATER THAN 2:30 p.m. to ensure the dismissal change gets to your child's teacher in a timely matter.
Transportation:
If you are permanently changing how your child goes home or if you move please notify our office at 317-839-4802, as well as Transportation at 317-838-3632, and submit a new Transportation Form to the office.
