Peer Assistance Leadership (PAL)
PAL 2024-2025 Information & Application Process
Mrs. Walls and Mrs. Fisher will be starting the 2024-2025 application process for PAL this week. PAL is one of our school's leadership groups that stands for Peer Assistance Leadership. PAL is open to students who will be in 5th and 6th grade NEXT school year. Student leaders are put on different squads and responsible for creating a positive school community for their peers. Squads include such groups as Peer Mentors, Green Team, and Kindness Crew. PAL is a no-cut group, but requires students to maintain a 75% or higher in all academics, have no major behavior citations, and get two teacher referral signatures as part of the application process. More information will be given at the meetings listed below.
- Any current PAL 5th-grade member wishing to apply for PAL for the 2024-2025 school year will be given information at our monthly meeting on May 9th at 2:20 in Mrs. Walls' classroom.
- All current members MUST reapply and meet the expected requirements in order to be on PAL again.
- Any 5th grader who is NOT a current member, but is interested in being a PAL member for next year, should also attend the meeting on May 9th at 2:20 in Mrs. Walls' classroom, room 804.
- All 4th graders who are interested in PAL: Mrs. Walls will be using class time during the week to speak to the students about what is PAL, what are the requirements, and what the application process will look like.
