Greetings PLA Families,
I can't believe it's September already! Our second full week of school has come to a close and our teachers and scholars are busy practicing their classroom routines. There are many things happening at school. Continue reading for more information.
Open House is next week from 4:30-6:00. We hope to see you there! Additional information can be found below.
As a reminder our doors will open at 7:20am. Scholars should not be dropped off early to wait at the school doors. Dismissal is at 2:20. The front office will close at 1:30 as we prepare for dismissal. Changes in transportation and the release of scholars will not take place after 1:30.
Girls on the Run is beginning soon. Mrs. White, our Assistant Principal, and some of our teachers are excited to continue this inspiring program at our school. After school practices will begin on Tuesday, September 5th. Girls in 4th and 5th grade are eligible to sign-up. Be on the lookout for information that will be sent home.
Fall pictures will take place on Monday, September 18th. Information will be sent home with all scholars once it is received.
If you have questions regarding your child's bus transportation, please call IPS at 317-226-4000.
LifeSmart health educators will be providing lessons to 4th-6th grade scholars on human growth and development on Tuesday, September 19th through Thursday, September 21st during the school day. Be on the lookout for this very important information being sent home soon.

Open House-Tuesday, September 5, 2023
Our school's Open House will be taking place on Tuesday, September 5 from 4:30-6:00. This is a great time to tour the building and receive information from your scholar's teacher. We will have four sessions between 4:30 and 6:00. Doors will open at 4:20.
Session 1 4:30-4:50
Session 2 4:55-5:15
Session 3 5:20-5:40
Session 4 5:45-6:05
The building will close at 6:05. Sessions will start and end on time. I will make an announcement over our PA system when a session has ended. I have asked the teachers to close their doors at the start of a session to minimize interruptions. If their door is closed upon your arrival, please wait in the hall until the next session begins.
Each teacher will host the same classroom presentation for all four sessions. It is not necessary to attend all four sessions. If you have multiple children at school, you can meet with their teacher at any of the above listed times that is convenient for you. Open house is not the ideal time to have conferences about individual students. If you have concerns, please ask our teachers for their contact information so you can discuss your concerns at another time.
You can expect our teachers to discuss the following topics at Open House:
Progress Reports
Homework expectations
Uniforms
Teacher contact information
Weekly assessments and assessment schedule
Communication with front office (transportation, medical/nurse, absences)
Upcoming family events
Information for scholars struggling with reading and/or math
Classroom management and behavior plans
