A Thought from Principal Mayer
This section of the weekly note will be reserved for some thoughts from Principal Mayer.
We had a terrific First Day of School. It is so nice to have the hallways and classrooms full of scholars. The sounds of school are what makes PLA@PromisePrep such a special place. We appreciate your patience as we get through the glitches of transportation and class lists. If you are still having issues, please contact the school office and we will gladly assit you in whatever it is you need.
I would like to thank my 3rd and 4th grade scholars for doing a great job as leaders. Their behaviors all throughout the building (ex: hallways, cafeteria, and more) are the perfect example for the younger scholars to see.
We look forward to a great first full week of school.
Mr. Mayer
Principal

Meet the New PLA@PromisePrep Staff
Meet Mrs. Bjorkman
For the next couple of weeks, I will use this forum to introduce you to the new staff members at PLA@PromisePrep. This week we feature Mrs. Bjorkman
My name is Sarah Bjorkman, but I usually go by “Mrs. B”. I am so excited to be the first grade teacher at PLA@PromisePrep this year! I have been a teacher in IPS for the past 6 years in first grade, third grade, and Pre-Kindergarten. My husband and I are the proud aunt and uncle to seven nieces and nephews, and we have two very spoiled cats. I love being an educator and being a part of helping scholars learn and grow!
