Welcome to Plum Grove Junior High

 

                          Dear Students and Parents,

 

                          Our 2008-2009 school year started off                                  fantastically.  We opened our school                                    doors on Thursday, August 21, 2008 to 814 students.   The students did a wonderful job at locating their classes and mastering their locker combinations. I was proud of our students that took the time to help out a classmate with a locker that was difficult to open.

 

The construction out in front of Plum Grove Junior began at an interesting time, two weeks before the start of school.  The Village of Rolling Meadows, The Rolling Meadows Police Department, and the School District 15 met many times to discuss the challenges of the road closure with our school buses and parents dropping students off to school.  All of the pre planning as well as information going out to our parents structured a safe and productive plan for our students.  I want to thank everyone for their help and cooperation with our road concerns.

I am very proud to be the Principal of Plum Grove Junior High.  We are a school that cares about the whole child and firmly believe that every student can and will succeed.  Our caring and dedicated staff works to provide “best practices” of instruction and evaluate their teaching with measurable results.  Our parents are a very important parts to the success our school.  Without their involvement and voice our school would not be able to offer many opportunities for our students.

 

I am looking forward to a dynamic and productive school year.  We continue to produce world class learners by building a connected learning community.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Kerry Swalwell

Principal Plum Grove Junior High
