Moments that Matter Gratitude Recognition
In this season of Thanksgiving, we would love for you to take a moment to share a few words about a PLCS staff member who has gone above and beyond for your child. Please share your gratitude and help us recognize that employee by completing this short nomination form.
Impact Aid Survey - Action Needed
Our district's Impact Aid data collection is now open in the NebSIS Parent Portal. This annual survey helps secure federal funding for our schools, and we need every family to participate. The process has been simplified this year with our move to electronic collection – most families will only need to answer one question! Please log in to the NebSIS Parent Portal to complete this brief but important survey. Your participation directly supports our school's resources and programs. Questions? Contact communications@plcschools.org for assistance.
The Book Fair is Here!
