Military Families
Welcome to Plew Elementary School. We are committed to providing critical transitional support for military-connected students as they relocate to our school due to a parent's change in duty station. Our focus is to eliminate barriers to the academic success of military-connected students. We are here to assist and support the military family lifestyle in such areas as school transitions, frequent moves, deployment, and education inconsistencies that exist from state to state, along with many others.

Students will also be partnered with a grade-level classroom buddy to help them navigate and connect to the school from day one.
Professional development is offered to teachers throughout the year concerning how to identify and respond to the needs of military students and their families. Here at Plew we stand with our military families!
