Please use the following to access Infinite Campus or complete an Infinite Campus Help Desk Ticket for further assistance.

Lost & Found

During the freezing winter months, coats and hats tend to get misplaced. Stop by our Lost & Found by the cafeteria; your stuff misses you too!

Does Your Child Need a Coat?

Please make certain your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. We do go outside for recess unless the temperature feels below 28 degrees. If we see a student without a coat, we will make sure they have one.

If your child does not have a coat, please let us know by calling (614-834-2600) or emailing Mrs. White (annette_white@plsd.us).

If you would like to donate a coat, we can use sizes to fit school-aged children. Thank you!

Free and Reduced Price Meals are available to those in need. Families must complete an application every school year. Please use one application for all students in your household.

Required Annual School Fees

The preferred method of payment is by logging into the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus. While schools accept a check or cash, paying via the Parent Portal ensures there is a record of payment (and that students do not misplace a check or cash).

Kindergarten: $19.00
First grade: $17.00
Second grade: $17.50
Third grade: $22.00
Fourth grade: $22.00

Where applicable, the cost of student planners is included in school fees. Families who are financially unable to pay for necessary materials should refer to Board Policy 6152.01 regarding fee waivers. Applications are available in the school office. Failure to pay school fees will result in school records being held until payment is received.

Adult English Classes

We are still offering free English classes for adults on Thursday nights.
