Greetings Phalen Virtual Leadership Academy Families,

Happy Friday! Happy Holidays! We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. This was a busy week, so we hope you were able to enjoy some times with your loved ones and friends.

Please be sure to check out some of the resources in this newsletter to participate in free activities around Indy and also our annual Winter Game sponsored by Ms. Sepaniak, which is Winter Bingo this year.

Please be sure your scholar is getting rest, as we are gearing up for a strong start to Semester 2 at PLA Virtual. Also, please review some attendance reminders as we continue to operate in excellence for the benefit of all scholars and families.

Registration is still open for the 2024-2025 Academic School Year. Please share your success at PLA Virtual with friends, family, neighbors and organizations, as we may be a great school choice for them as well. Our registration link is below. We appreciate all the referrals that have been shared with us by YOU. They are proud to give your name as the person who referred them, and we also sing your praises in return as we appreciate all of our families.

We look forward to seeing your scholar(s) on Monday, January 6, 2025 for week 21 of our school year! Our Grades 6-12 scholars begin their school day at 8:00am and our Grades K-5 scholars begin at 8:30am.

Have a wonderful Holiday Break and we will see you in 2025.
