8.23.24 PLES Newsletter

It was so wonderful seeing students and families back in the building this week for Back to School Night and Meet the Teacher! We are so excited for the first day of school on Monday, August 26th!

Please be sure your student’s FULL NAME is on their backpack and practice saying the teacher’s name with your student. This will allow our staff to support them if they need help finding their classroom.

If you are dropping your student off in carline in the morning, please note the drop off time is 8:20-8:35.

Please also review your student’s plan for dismissal with them. If they will be picked up in carline, students must have a note every day. If your student will be riding the bus, have your student practice saying and identifying their bus number. Drop off times in the afternoon may be delayed the first few weeks of school as we work to ensure everyone gets home safely.

Please read below for more information.

Enjoy the weekend!
Mrs. Harrison, Principal

Mr. Blake, Assistant Principal

Monday, August 26th: First Day of School!

Transportation: Please be sure to be at the stop 10-15 minutes prior to your assigned time. A caregiver must be present at the stop in the afternoon to receive kindergarten students off the bus. If a caregiver is not present, the student will be brought back to school for the family to pick up. First graders may be brought back to school if a caregiver is not present and the student is uncomfortable getting off the bus alone.

Drop Off/Pick Up: If you are choosing to drive your student to school, we ask that you please be patient with the amount of traffic on campus and follow the directions of those on traffic duty. Please have a sign in your car window with your student’s full name and grade.

Families that have students attending both AGIS and PLES should drop off AGIS students first by entering the campus via Route 896. You will then have to leave the campus, turn right, and enter the PLES side at the entrance by Quimby Road. You will then turn left onto the PLES side of campus and snake through the front parking lot and proceed to the front of the building. Please pull all the way to the end of the sidewalk near the District Office and have students ready to exit the car. Students should be seated on the passenger side and may exit the car on their own. Drivers, please remain in your car while dropping off and picking up and stay in the line of traffic. For everyone’s safety, please do not pull around other cars in the carline. All traffic leaving PLE must turn right onto Route 796.

• Drop Off begins at 8:20am daily. Students are expected to be in classrooms by 8:35am.

• Pick Up begins at 3:20pm daily. Students are expected to be picked up by 3:40pm.

School Supply Lists can be found on the right hand side of the PLES website. Please be sure your student’s FULL NAME is listed on their backpack.

PLES is a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) school! PBIS teaches students the expected behaviors and encourages positive behaviors with Bucket Bucks rewards.

Part of our program is the message of being bucket fillers based on the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? We encourage students and staff to be kind, to be a helper, and to fill each other’s buckets. PLES Bucket Fillers take care of ourselves, others and our school!
