2021/22 PCS ENROLLMENT: Plainwell Community Schools is now enrolling for the 2021/22 school year. Families have the option of one of three learning options: 100% Virtual, Hybrid and In-Person learning options are available. Students who select a virtual or hybrid option, will be able to transition to in-person instruction at the trimester (building availability will be dependent on enrollment).
Virtual & Hybrid Learning Options!
Plainwell Virtual & Hybrid for K-12 is proud to offer the following virtual learning options for the PCS students for the 2021/22 school year. This program will have some exciting revisions coming from last year, but will include many of the outstanding PCS educators that are returning to continue on the virtual journey!
- 100% Full Virtual (Synchronous & Asynchronous options) provides families with the option to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule, all while receiving an outstanding PCS education.
- Hybrid Learning provides students with the opportunity for virtual learning with in-person supports and in-person learning options. Learn from home, with an option to have partial in-person learning, small group intervention instruction and "specials" which provide a more hybrid approach.
Begin your educational journey with Today’s Learners & Tomorrow’s Leaders by enrolling today at plainwellschools.org. For questions regarding our virtual and hybrid learning options, please contact:
- Kari Luckett (Starr) for K-6 learning at kari.luckett@plainwellschools.org
- Jeremy Wright (PHS) for 7-12 learning at jeremy.wright@plainwellschools.org
MIDDLE SCHOOL SAIL: Last week, we welcomed our SAIL - Session 2 students to the program. At the Middle School, the students learned about our planet. In Mrs. Cooley's class they did research on volcanoes and created pamphlets giving the surrounding population information on how to stay safe if their volcano was to erupt. In Ms. Flynn's class they looked at artwork by Hokasi and "the great wave". They studied hue intensity and how to push and pull the tide using tints and shades in a monochromatic color scheme. Students also made volcano vase's and focused on form and texture and how the sense of touch is heightened when sight is taken away. It's been a great summer in Plainwell's SAIL program!
POOL CLOSED (7/29): The PCS Pool is closed today (Thursday, July 29). Due to the power outage, there will be no pool programs available today.

MIDDLE SCHOOL SAIL: Last week was the final week for Session 1 of the Summer Adventure in Learning Program. During the week, the Middle School SAIL students reviewed their geometry vocab and skills as they created their own cities. They also worked on 3D sketches with Ms. Flynn. To end the week and Session 1, they took an adventure trip to Chicago. What a great week for these SAIL students!
We look forward to welcoming our Session 2 students beginning tomorrow (Monday, July 19).
SAIL ADVENTURE DAY: The Summer Adventure in Learning (SAIL) second and third grade students had a great adventure day as they went to visit the John Ball Zoo. They enjoyed exploring the zoo and meeting the animals. What a great way to end Session 1 of the SAIL program for these students!
SUMMER LEARNING: Over the last two weeks, the third grade students at the Summer Adventure in Learning (SAIL) program have been keeping busy with reading memory books, working on Venn diagrams, playing various math games and lots of other awesome educational activities. It’s been a great start to summer at Session 1 of the SAIL program!
SUMMER YOUTH BALL FUN: More fun from the 2021 Summer Youth Ball program, as the Pink Warriors from Plainwell had their final game against Otsego. After the game, the pink team was awarded medals and the coach allowed the girls to dump Gatorade on him. What a fun way for the team to celebrate the end of their season.
