ELL teachers help students who speak a different language become successful in learning English. Each ELL teacher is assigned different grade levels. They all agree that the best part of the job is getting to work with students and staff. Classroom teachers are grateful for their ELL support.

Dear Emoji:
Today I saw a classmate on a website that was inappropriate. I asked him why he was going on an inappropriate website. He did not answer my question, instead he threatened me. He said, "Don't tell the teacher about this or I will tell her that you were the one that dared me to go there."

Should I be a tattletale, but let him know that what he was doing was wrong or stay quiet because I do not want to get in trouble?

You should definitely tell the teacher about the situation. You should also tell the teacher that the classmate threatened you before the teacher talks to the student about it. I know it might be hard for you but, it is the "right thing" to do. Never be afraid to say what is right!

YOU MATTER!
YOU MATTER!
Every student matters! Every teacher matters! Our principal matters! Every single person who shows up each week at Plainfield in some capacity (janitors, volunteers, PTSO parents, secretaries, etc.) all matter. This engaging project was brought to Plainfield by Mrs. Galvan who was inspired by her friend Angie to help build self-esteem and to let each person know that he or she has something special to give to the world. The project included making a poster where each person described their positive character traits. Each person then made their very own silk screen YouMatter T-shirt. This was followed up by a school wide assembly celebrating the power of recognizing our value and the value of each person in the Plainfield Community.
