🌪️☀️ Weather experiments + student collaboration = a perfect learning day!
Yesterday, our 3rd grade students at South Elementary had an exciting hands-on lesson in weather science! With help from some amazing HS cheerleaders, cross country, and track team members, the students built and tested houses designed to withstand different weather conditions. 🏠💨🌧️
Huge shoutout to Kylie Middleton for helping organize this engaging lesson and for bringing our high school and elementary students together for such a fun and educational experience! 👏📚
🍳✨ A huge THANK YOU to Val and Robert Landeros, owners of Red Door, and Adam Soto from IHOP for treating our South Elementary staff to a delicious breakfast this morning! Your generosity and community spirit mean so much to our team. We’re feeling extra appreciated and fueled up for a great day
📣 Big News: A New Beginning for Our Littlest Learners
We’re excited to announce the transformation of an existing campus into our brand-new Early Learning Education Center, fully dedicated to children from age 3 through 1st grade. This center is now open for enrollment and includes:
✅ A public daycare classroom for potty-trained 3-year-olds
✅ Full-day Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade
✅ A strong focus on literacy, early numeracy, and joyful learning
We understand that change can bring questions. Please know—we see you, we hear you, and we appreciate you.
But most of all—we ask you to see what we see:
✨ A space built with one goal—putting kids first.
This campus isn’t about test scores. It’s not about STAAR. It’s about giving young students the attention, care, and foundational learning they need and deserve. Every administrator and teacher here is focused solely on early childhood education, creating a fun, loving environment where:
📚 Kids learn to read
🔢 Build math confidence
🎨 Explore creativity
💬 Grow in language and expression
❤️ And develop a lifelong love of learning
When students leave this campus, they’ll be ready to read to learn at our North and Central campuses—equipped with the confidence and skills they need to succeed.
We are grateful for your support and trust as we take this bold step to serve our youngest learners in the best way possible.
While change isn’t always easy, this shift reflects our long-term vision: to create a strong, focused foundation where every child can grow, thrive, and fall in love with learning—because this is about their education and their future.

Celebrating Academic Excellence: Meet Our 2025 Valedictorian and Salutatorian
Plainview High School is proud to recognize the academic excellence of our 2025 Valedictorian, Eowyn Thornhill, and Salutatorian, Brooklyn Collins.
Eowyn Thornhill, our 2025 Valedictorian, shared that this honor symbolizes the result of years of dedication, and the encouragement she received from her teachers and parents. She highlighted her AP Calculus class during her junior year as a pivotal experience—especially thanks to her favorite teacher, Mrs. Franklin. Eowyn emphasized the strong impact that educators like Mrs. Franklin, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Comans, and Mrs. Martin had on her academic journey. She plans to attend Rice University to study mathematics and hopes to study abroad, take unique classes like fencing and creative writing, and continue volunteering. Eowyn’s advice to students is simple but powerful: Be kind, respect everyone, and don’t let others' opinions limit your potential.
Brooklyn Collins shared that being named Salutatorian is a huge accomplishment and a reflection of the perseverance, hard work, and dedication she’s poured into her education. She’s grateful for the support she's received from family and staff throughout her life. When asked about her high school journey, Brooklyn said it’s the little moments—like laughs in the hallway, coffee runs, and heartfelt advice from teachers—that left the biggest impact. She credits her parents, siblings, grandma, and youth pastor for being her guiding lights, and looks forward to attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor to study Pre-Med. Her advice to future students? Always strive to be better than you were yesterday and be confident in your own path.
Important Notice for Students & Families
We are aware of a harmful TikTok trend that encourages students to insert objects like paper clips or pushpins into their Chromebooks, causing serious damage. Unfortunately, we’ve already had several reports of this happening across our district.
As a result, principals have begun the process of collecting devices, and students found intentionally damaging Chromebooks will be assigned to DAEP/Impact and may face criminal mischief charges.
Please talk to your child about the seriousness of this trend. We urge our students to protect their devices and avoid making decisions that could negatively impact their education or future.
Take care of your Chromebook—don’t risk it for a trend.

🏀 New League Launch Recap! 🏀
This past weekend, two of our very own—Coach Stephen Aycock and Mrs. Amanda Aycock—officially launched the West Texas Legends League, a brand-new youth summer basketball program!
From start to finish, the first weekend was a huge success! The community showed up with incredible support, the kids had a blast, and everything ran smoothly. It was a day filled with energy, teamwork, and fun!
This league is all about more than just basketball—it's about building character, leadership, and community through sports.
🗣️ From Coach Aycock and Mrs. Aycock:
“Plainview is a special place to our family. In our 15 years as a part of this community we have seen amazing things happening. A youth summer basketball program is something we have wanted to start to contribute to the already great things happening here. We have seen an outpouring of participation, volunteers, support from PISD, and enthusiasm amongst our community and surrounding communities. This is just the start of something amazing for kids and families. We are beyond blessed and humbled to be a part of it.”
We’re so proud of the Aycocks and grateful for the chance to partner in something so impactful. Also to support this kind of powerful community engagement. This is what Plainview is all about! 🙌
