"Bytes" From Your School Leader, Dr. Townsend
April 26, 2024
Greetings Phalen Virtual Leadership Academy Families,
Happy Friday! What an amazing week 38 here at Phalen Virtual Leadership Academy! It was wonderful to see Learning Coaches, Scholars, Teacher and Staff in person for ILEARN state testing across the state.
Next week, our ship will continue to sail as we finish ILEARN testing and make-up. Thank you to all families, as we know it takes some schedule changes and flexibility this time of year to ensure your scholar completes the state mandated testing. If you have any questions, please reach out directly to our State Testing Coordinator, Ms. Carol Sepaniak, csepaniak@phalenacademies.org and she will be more than happy to assist you.
A warm advance congratulations to our Phalen Virtual Leadership Academy Class of 2024 graduates. We were able to celebrate some who were able to attend our annual Senior Banquet. We had a wonderful time, great fellowship, yummy food, storytelling and great laughs. Of course, we took a few pictures and they are shared within this newsletter. Special thanks to Mrs. Moses, High School Counselor, for their hand crafted gift bags of goodies for their participation!
Please be sure to check your email and ensure you have completed the intent to return form for your scholar(s) to ensure we have a seat next school year for everyone currently enrolled.
We are also gearing up for SUMMER ADVANTAGE, our summer learning program that keeps your scholar engaged in academics while having fun! Registration is now open for all scholars in grades 2-7. We will share more information at all of our state testing locations and Mrs. Baker can assist you with signing up, abaker@phalenacademies.org. You can also click the QR code to enroll.
We look forward to seeing your scholar(s) on Monday, April 29, 2024 at 8:35 a.m. in class for Week 39 at PLA Virtual!
With Gratitude,
Dr. Townsend, Principal
