The Plainedge Teacher Center is located in the Plainedge Middle School and welcomes all members of the Plainedge family to utilize its resources.

The Plainedge Teacher Center Policy Board is comprised of elementary teachers, secondary teachers, teaching assistants, administrators, and parents from the Plainedge School District. In addition, representatives from CSDNet Technology Services, and Molloy University also serve on the Policy Board. Collectively we bring a diverse range of expertise to the table.
