Our School

Home of the Chargers!

I would like to welcome you to our school website. It is my hope that you take an opportunity to explore our website and learn about the exciting happenings of our school and choose some extracurricular opportunities for your student to be involved in.

At Plum Grove, we pride ourselves on creating a culture of continuous learning, with our students being the center and focus of our school community. Each day our students are presented with rigorous, engaging learning, which requires problem solving, collaboration, critical thinking, innovation and a growth mindset. It is a primary commitment of our staff to foster a safe environment where learning and integrity prevail as well as role modeling quality character.

Knowing the awesome responsibility that lies before us, the staff takes initiative in extending their own learning through continuous professional development. Our students, technology (one to one chromebooks), best practices are ever-changing, so it is critical for our staff to enthusiastically grow their own efficacy. The Plum Grove Staff embraces this learning journey, so they are well-equipped to meet the needs of our students.

A key component attributed to our school’s success is the involvement of our parent community. Our excellent, student-centered PTSA organizes numerous events each year to bring families into our school community, while supporting the greater Rolling Meadows Community. Our parent volunteers support and enhance the student experience and serve as additional role models for our students. The success of our school is interconnected with the commitment and involvement of our parents.

Please take a moment to review our website and feel free to contact me if any questions arise. I am honored to serve as Principal of Plum Grove Middle School. I can be reached at riveraf@ccsd15.net, 847-963-7605.
