Greetings PLA Families,
Our 2nd grade scholars took their IREAD practice test this week. They are prepared for their assessment on Monday, March 13th. Scholars that pass IREAD as a 2nd grader will not need to take this assessment next year. Taking it this year will help us better prepare them if they need to retake the assessment next year.
Please help us in having students prepared to do their very best. During this week it is essential that scholars get plenty of sleep, eat breakfast, and arrive on time. For more information on IREAD, please contact your child's teacher.
Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend. Don't forget to move your clocks forward one hour on Saturday night.
As a reminder, all work from Wednesday, March 8th (Parents in Touch) will need to be submitted to classroom teachers on Wednesday, March 15th. This is how attendance is marked for scholars. If you have questions regarding their work, please reach out to their classroom teacher.
PLA values your feedback! To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.
- The survey will close on Friday, March 24th. You can take the survey online at your convenience.
We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

This week's community resource is Indiana Learns. More information can be found below.
The window for parent input on school ESSER funds has re-opened and available for you to complete a survey. If you previously completed an ESSER survey, it is not necessary for you to do again. The window will remain open until June 24th.
The last day for Scouts at PLA93 will be on Monday, March 13th. Fran Smith will be contacting all Scout families to let them know of this change. We'd like to thank Ms. Smith for her dedication to our scholars and wish her the best as she moves on to new challenges.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Hendricks
Principal-PLA@93
