Its mission is to ensure that students meet high academic and social standards, thriving as leaders at home, in their communities, and globally. The goal is to help students succeed academically while nurturing their character and leadership skills.

PLA’s vision is for scholars to master key academic skills and demonstrate strong character traits such as honesty, service to others, a superior work ethic, and a strong belief in their futures .

Dear Parents,

As we near the end of the first quarter, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible progress our students have made so far this year. It’s hard to believe that we’re already at this milestone!

Academic Progress

Our instructional team is excited to share that students have been engaged in meaningful learning experiences, developing their skills and knowledge across subjects. We encourage you to check in with your child about their favorite topics and projects.

Upcoming Assessments

Please note that we will continue with our scheduled assessments to evaluate students’ understanding of the material covered. These assessments will help us identify areas where students may need additional support.

Tips for Home

As we approach the end of the quarter, here are a few tips to help your child succeed:

1. Review Goals: Talk with your child about their goals for the year and how they are progressing.

2. Stay Organized: Help them keep track of assignments and upcoming assessments.

3. Encourage Reading: Daily reading is a fantastic way to reinforce skills.
