Plainfield Central Middle School envisions students, staff, parents, and community members working in unison to create an atmosphere of educational excellence and pride. We believe the following principles are keys to making our vision a reality.

• Our school is organized to ensure success for all students by promoting flexible instructional time and interdisciplinary programs to meet the needs of students of all abilities.

• Our teachers and administrators work together on the instructional program and school governance.

• Our teachers are specifically prepared to teach early adolescent students.

• Our school promotes good health and fitness as part of the educational program.

• Our school works and communicates with families in a spirit of mutual respect and trust.

• Our school and the community are supportive, responsible partners in the education of young adolescents.
