With our county's Covid-19 positivity rate on the rise (now above 15%), we and Smokey Row Coffee - Pleasantville, IA have decided it isn't wise to hold our Study Hall event.

Pleasantville, stay safe and healthy!
Pleasantville Students in 5th-9th grades can reserve a spot during our Study Hall sessions at Smokey Row!

Youth will sign in when they arrive and sign out when they leave. Parents, please fill out this form for the 2019/2020 school year if you have not yet, so we have emergency contacts for your student.
Youth will not be allowed to return after they sign out. Once youth sign out they cannot come back in unless a parent directly communicates with a PvilleYI volunteer. We do this to ensure that students do not show up, leave, then return at the end leaving parents to believe they never left. We know, we know, they can be sneaky, but we still love them!
If parents have any questions, please contact us!
