Greetings PLA Families,
This week we celebrated our scholars for their achievements through the 2nd quarter. Our award ceremonies were held yesterday and today. We are proud of our scholars!
We have two different assessments scheduled for net week. Scholars in grades 3-5 will take our second ILEARN checkpoint next week. This assessment is provided to us by the state department of education and lets us know about your child's progress. The other assessment is the CoGAT. Scholars in grades KDG, 2nd, ad 5th will take this assessment to determine if they may be eligible for high ability placement.
All e-learning assignments are due Wednesday, January 29th. Please have your child complete this work if they have not done so already.
RESCHEDULED: Our next family event has been rescheduled for Thursday, January 30th from 4pm-6pm. PLA@93 will be hosting a Family Science Night. Our STEM teacher, Mr. Cowley, will have multiple activities for families and a presentation for all. We hope to see you there!
Our Community Spotlight this week is John Boner Neighborhood Center. See below for more details.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Hendricks
Principal-PLA@93
