Welcome back Falcon Family!

Our first full week of school was fantastic! The teachers and staff are continuing to build strong relationships and help scholars get settled into these new routines. We sent home important papers with scholars today. Please make sure you are checking backpacks and folders daily!

We are highly looking forward to spending this year helping our scholars grow, transform, and learn academically, and emotionally here at PLA.

Teachers and Administration have been working hard to engage with scholars, and their families.

It is so great to see how we all come together as a family to make sure their needs are taken care of. Our mission allows us to serve a diverse group of students with many different needs by making sure they always come first and make sure they are treated with love and respect. The atmosphere here is truly loving and home-like and reminds me once again how incredible it is to be apart of something so remarkable.

Thank you all for allowing us to service and care for your scholars this year.

This wouldn't be possible without you! I am looking forward to the year ahead.
We have lots of work to do but with determination we can achieve all things together!
