Kindergarten Graduation will be taking place on Wednesday, May 29th, at 1:45PM. Due to our small space, we have limited seating. Because of this, we asks that only the parents of the Kindergarten scholar attend the graduation. Please do NOT invite aunts, uncles, grandparents, older/younger siblings.
Again, because of our small space, we ask that as soon as the ceremony is over, parents take their children home with them. The parking lot can get crazy with buses and cars arriving to pick up our scholars for the ride home, so we would like to have all parents out of the parking lot, no later than 2:45PM. Parents are also asked to pick up any older sibilings after the ceremony, so they do not have to return to school for normal school dismissal.
Phalen Leadership Academies is looking to start up a summer 7 on 7 flag football program. If your child is an incoming third or fourth grader(current 2nd or 3rd grader), they are invited to play. Details are as follows:
Registration is Saturday, May 18th at JRP Jr/Sr High School 9AM-12PM
All equipment will be provided
Absolutely Free with no hidden fees or equipment fees
Games are played on Saturday mornings starting at 10AM

A flyer was sent home earlier this week, with a QR Code box. Just scan your phone and all the registration information you will need to fill out is on that form. A liability form will be signed at the registration meeting on May 18th. Hopefully we will see some Promise Prep scholars on the field.

It has been a busy week here at PLA@PromisePrep. We had a great trip to the Zoo on Monday and celebrated Haitian Creole Flag day on Thursday, and inbetween the scholars started NWEA testing. Thank you to all the scholars and families that showed up to the Flag Day celebration. We hope you had a good time.
Next week we finish up NWEA testing as well as IREAD retake testing. Any 3rd or 4th grade scholar not passing the IREAD exam will be given another chance to pass this exam. We wish them the best of luck and remind them to get a good night sleep, eat a protien packed breakfast, and keep them calm on the morning drive to school. Those are the best things a scholar can do to prepare for this test.
Finally, we are getting more and more new scholar enrollments for the 24/25 school year, but we still need more. If you could spread the word to your families and friends, we are still accepting enrollments for all grades K-5. In order for a Kindergarten scholar to enroll for the 24/25 school year, they will need to be five years old before October 1, 2024. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions.
Have a great weekend!!
